Terzo

Came here on a Wednesday night for a party of 5 and a doggy. We were able to wait inside with some wine and the Marina Mojito while we waited the last of our party to arrive.We were seated outside and it was intimate since it was just our table. We got the following to share with the table: * Grilled Painted Hills Ranch Skirt Steak with Potato-Leek Gratin, Sautéed Broccoli & Horseradish Chimichurri for $37. This was SUPER delicious! * Marina Mojito with Muffled lemon, fresh mint, passion fruit, ice and soda* Saffron Arancini with Spicy Tomato Sauce (not spicy but tasty), Fontina, Mozzarella & Pecorino for $14* Sautéed Sugar Snap Peas with Lemon Zest, Butter, Shallots, Urfa, Mint & Pecorino for $18* Fettuccine with Beef Bolognese, Tomato, Cream & Parmesan but they accommodated our table and made it vegetarian $29/19.Technically this would be a 4.5 but only because two of our friends had plans elsewhere and I was hoping to get dessert but our waitress never came back. My friends husband paid for our meal discreetly after we had decided to pass on dessert due to timing.

Enjoyable fare, quick service and enchanting ambienceI'm not sure my water went lower than about 3/4 full. Nice place to get a few small plates, the dessert was the winner. Had the whole back room to ourselves. Would go again!

Came here during SF Restaurant week. The menu was an incredible deal considering the quality of the food, as well as including a wine pairing for each course. The restaurant itself is tucked away on a not so busy street just off of Fillmore and is quite unassuming were you to just walk by it. Our server was really great at answering our questions about the menu and making sure all the courses came out together (we were a group of 6). Seating was comfortable and cozy and there are options for outdoor seating, weather permitting. This definitely seems like a neighborhood spot as I overheard the wait staff welcome regulars and ask them how they were doing and if they were going to get "the usual". Glad we tried it out during restaurant week and would definitely come back

Looking for a nice, predictable, chic restaurant (love the floral arrangements)? This is your place. The service is jovial and candid so I am rounding my 3.5 star rating up to 4. One bummer about this place is that they only serve wine/beer. But the floor plan and ambiance are nice for a date that you're trying to impress or a business dinner with contrasting palette preferences. Apps were good, but not incredible. The hummus and bruschetta were fresh. The meatball was average as the polenta lacked any depth of flavor. For mains, I got the chicken, again it was decent but nothing memorable. The flavors could be a little more dynamic and bold. Overall I recommend but this spot won't blow your socks off.

Absolutely delicious. Rafael was our waiter and was super helpful and friendly. Dimly lit nice restaurant around Cow Hollow and PH. Each dish was special and we had a great time.

What a phenomenal SF Restaurant Week! The menu is creative with fresh ingredients (seasonal highlights too). Would certainly recommend on food alone Grilled Persimmon Bruschetta (regular menu) 5/5 - delicious caramelization and the bread was crispy. Ordered the prosciutto on the side Zucchini carpaccio (RW menu app) 5/5 - fresh and nutty and so good with the manchego Fried Brussel sprouts (RW menu app) 4/5 - solid charred flavor but some were a bit soft and over cooked Butternut squash risotto (RW menu entree) 5/5 - creamy and nice texture with soft butternut squash chunks Braised beef brisket (RW menu entree) 4.5/5 - generous portion of beef that was so tender. A little bit salty and the veggies were slightly over cooked but overall still deliciousAlmond cake with whipped cream (RW menu dessert) 5/5 - soft and flavorful without being too sweet or overpowering. Almond flavor was niceVanilla bean rice pudding (RW menu dessert) 3.5/5 - not pictured but average flavor and not too much vanilla bean. Had a couple cherries to accompany I came to celebrate a birthday and it was a lovely upscale spot. Staff was very friendly and even towards closing did not rush our meal. What an awesome meal of three courses per person for $50 (and additional three wine pairings for $25)

The Space was very nice, some brick walls, not crazy major loud, nice looking bar and space - not over crowded seating. Good for a date. Our waiter kept touching my back which is fine i guess but it was a little much for me.We ordered cauliflower soup, it was really good but we had barely taken two spoons of it when our waiter came by and swooped my friends soup to the trash .. we didnt dare say anything.We ordered those arancini things , beet salad, and mushroom polenta. The mushroom polenta was so good..! My friend had ordered 3 scallops but she was given 4 - not sure what we were charged. The desert chocolate lava cake was very good The drinks were ok - should have had wine

10/10 experience. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious - we got the chicken (my personal fav main dish), pork, meatballs with polenta (my personal fav app), hummus, and veggies. The service was great - our waiter was very attentive and engaging. The ambiance is also amazing. Highly recommend giving it a try! One of my fav restaurants in the city.

We were looking for something fun and unique after watching a show at the Palace of Fine Arts and were pleased to happen upon Terzo. Made a reservation a couple days in advance via OpenTable. There are plenty of seats near the bar and a communal table for when you walk in but scattered around the perimeter are cozy and intimate tables. What really made our experience extra special was the excellent service. We were served by an amazing waitress who took the time to provide her insights, stay patient on our inability to choose between so many delicious options and also was able to carry a conversation without rushing us out the door.Dishes we tried (but the menu frequently changes):-Mozzarella di Bufala - with the heat of Calabrian chillies and a vibrant green pesto, I could've eaten a second order myself -Hummus - we were told that it keeps people coming back so we had to try it! Smooth and creamy, it was a great way to start.-Tomato braised Meatballs and creamy polenta - very juicy and flavorful-Penne with beef bolognese- can order in a full or half size. The half was perfect since we wanted to save room for dessert too. You can tell the pasta is freshly made and the garlicky and creamy bolognese made it rich and fillingThe desserts are pictured in this review and are not to be skipped! Don't forget to wash it all down with a glass from their worldly wine list. If you like tapas with coastal Mediterranean flair, Terzo is a great place to have it!

Sleek date night spot with yummy food and drinks! Went here with my husband Friday evening without a reservation, and got seats by the bar with no wait. The bar is close to the kitchen, which allowed us to watch the magic in the kitchen while enjoying our food. We got their chicken spiedini, steak, and linguine. Everything was excellent but the steak was a standout. Cooked to perfection, with a delicious chimichurri sauce on top, it also came with scalloped potatoes and sautéed broccolini underneath. I think we finished the steak within 5 minutes We'll be back for sure!
