Casaro Osteria

The food never misses the mark in flavor 10/10! The mushroom pasta was my favorite and so is the cacio e Pepe also super flavorful and large portion. The pizza was very light even with all meats you see. The drinks here the espressos are key! Definitely top 3 of pasta place on my list to go to

We visited Casaro Osteria at an off time between lunch and dinner, which I think is the way to go! We got seated right away, but by the time we were wrapping up our meal around 5PM, the restaurant was packed. They had some outdoor seating in the front, but that was full, so we were seated indoors. The interior was nicely decorated with a wall of vintage Italian posters, a good-looking bar, and lots of plants. I also loved their colorful, floral tableware! For N/A drinks, they had both mocktails (which were really pricy) and wine, so I got a glass of N/A Sauvignon Blanc. This exceeded my expectations - so crisp and similar to the real thing! For food, my friend and I ordered the Parmigiana Pizza and Gnocchi Quattro Formaggi to share. Both items were good, but the Parmigiana Pizza was our favorite! The tomato sauce, eggplant, and shaved parmesan went so well together, and the burrata on top was so decadent. The only downside was the floppiness of the slices, which is always the case with Neapolitan-style Pizza. The Gnocchi Quattro Formaggi was super rich and filling. This dish was basically Mac & Cheese, but with Gnocchi. I'm glad we ordered it to share! My friends also enjoyed their food, including the Grilled Cauliflower and Mafaldine Ragu Napoletano. Service was fast and friendly, and our server even brought over little complimentary cups of lemon Sorbetto after our meal. Overall, pretty good!

We chose Casaro Osteria in San Francisco for our anniversary dinner, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the inviting ambiance to the thoughtful service and incredible food, it was a dining experience we'll remember fondly.We started with the Guava Rush Mocktail, a refreshing and vibrant drink with just the right balance of sweetness and tartness. It was a perfect way to kick off the evening, especially for those looking for a non-alcoholic option with flair.Next came the Calamari, which was impeccably fried to a golden crisp while remaining tender inside. The light seasoning and accompanying dipping sauce elevated this classic appetizer to something special.The Diavola Pizza arrived with a gorgeous charred crust, boasting the ideal combination of a chewy center and crisp edges. Topped with spicy salami, fresh mozzarella, and a rich tomato base, it was packed with bold, satisfying flavors. The spice level was spot-on, adding a delightful kick without overpowering the other ingredients.Finally, we enjoyed the Rigatoni alla Norma, a comforting and flavorful pasta dish. The rigatoni was cooked al dente, perfectly coated in a robust tomato sauce with tender eggplant and a dusting of ricotta salata that tied everything together beautifully.Casaro Osteria delivered on all fronts--delicious food, a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, and attentive service that made the night feel special. Whether it's a special occasion or just a night out, this gem in San Francisco is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu!

This is such a wonderful date-night location; the service was great, the aesthetic homey yet elegant, and the meal yummy.The Caesar Salad, although it sounded promising with the anchovies and hard boiled eggs, was not my favorite though... it just fell flat in terms of flavor. And although the menu said it was comprised of little-gem lettuce, the lettuce in the salad did not match the compact crunchy-yet-tender leaves that I picture in my mind when I think of little-gem.The Ziti Genovese Pasta took the cake. So delicious. The 6 hour slow cooked white onions and short ribs, along with a generous dusting of pecorino, were incredible. I was also a fan of the very firm (aldente) texture of the pasta, it really added to the dish.The Prosciutto Pizza was so good, and somehow the more I ate, the better it got. The simple yet complex flavors of the tomato sauce, mozzarella, arugula, prosciutto crudo, shaved parmesan, and extra-virgin olive oil shone through and made it a joy to eat.

Came here with a work colleague for dinner on a Monday night. The service was great, the waitress recommended 2 apps; the Brussels sprouts (yum, they were fried w a nice balsamic glaze) and the Aracini balls (which are my fav, my I thought were only ok, they could have been warmer). For dinner we had the chop salad, which was great and she recommended 2 pizzas, the Diavola and the Burrata and Copa, we went with the Burrata and Copa, which was really tasty! Although I do like my pizza crust slightly crispier, it was still really good.I had a mock tail mojito and my friend had a couple of good cocktails-which he said were both great! We didn't have any room for desserts, but they do give you a shot of lemon cello sorbet, which was a nice palate cleanser.

My Italian grandmother approves! The place had great upscale vibes, attentive service, and every pasta we ordered was so well done. We loved the meatballs and the risotto balls as appetizers. Will come back soon!

I came here on a Thursday night around 6:45pm for dinner. We didn't have a reservation and were seated immediately! Our server was so nice! He informed us he was new but was great about double checking information for us. Their ziti was amazing! The noodles were different than I originally expected but it was definitely a pleasant surprise. The only thing that threw me off was that I felt like half of my Manhattan was missing lol! It made me not want to spend more money on another half drink. That being said, my friend's drinks looked delicious and normal so could've been a one time thing.This is def a great spot for dates! I saw so many couples out here

Food was fresh, made well. No issues with that. Flavor was ok, pasta al dente for sure. The service was ok- they forgot drinks, items were made wrong. Not fun to deal with that. But servers were friendly and keeping water cups full. Made a reservation for a weeknight because it was a good meeting location for our group coming from different areas. Unfortunately we were sat in the back near a large party with about 5-6 kids and 5 adults who were allowing the kids to run in and out of the restaurant the whole time. It was not a peaceful dinner whatsoever. Not sure I'd go back just yet.

Perfection. From the cocktails, food and impeccable service. Loved it and can't wait to go back!

Incredible apps, pizza, service, and vibe! The prices are phenomenal for the amazing quality of food as well!
