Trattoria da Vittorio - San Francisco

From what seems like an unsuspecting average Italian restaurant from the outside, Trattoria da Vittorio hides a plethora of Italian cuisine and a fairly extensive list of incredible Italian style pizza made in a real pizza oven. If you're looking for a change from the usual American style pies, this place is absolutely the right one for you.On my first visit I took along two of my friends and we ordered three different pizzas to get a good idea of the different flavors on offer. We ordered the Carnivora, San Daniele, and Dolce pizzas and shared pieces with each other. Out of all the pizzas I have had in my life, these were some of the best. The Carnivora is truly a meat lovers paradise, using four different kinds of meats and being piled full with them. The San Daniele was more subtle in flavor but was very refreshing with the addition of arugula. The Dolce pizza however, was the creme de la creme of the three we ordered. The tang of the spicy sausage and calabrese paired with the mellow savoriness of the mozzarella cheese and sweetness of the honey made this pizza a unique experience in terms of flavor profile. Quite frankly we couldn't get enough of it! Though the price point of $24 and the more flimsy and oily nature of Italian style pizza may be discouraging for some, if you are interested in a different style of pizza from your usual quick fix, I couldn't recommend a better place to find your new favorite. The atmosphere of the restaurant interior was very inviting and staff were also very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Would recommend it if you plan on dining as a small group.

Trattoria da Vittorio provided the most delicious food and amazing catering service for our wedding!I have worked with Vittorio on an event before, and there really had been no question as to who we would ask to cater our wedding in San Francisco. We met with Vittorio about six months before and did a full tasting. He comes to the table with excellent recommendations and he made it so easy for us to settle on a menu.On top of all of this, he provided servers, a bartender, linens, champagne glasses, and extraordinary service leading up to and on our special day. When the wedding day finally arrived, we did not have to worry about a thing because he - alongside his amazing staff - took care of everything. They are the complete package and the next time I need to host an event, they will be the first caterer that I call.I need to rave about the food as well. We had three different passed appetizers (bruschette, meatballs, caprese skewers), four mains for the buffet (short ribs, lasagne, chicken piccata, fiochette pasta), caesar salad, mixed vegetables, bread, and for dessert tiramisu and profiterols. Talk about an amazing spread! Our guests were blown away and raved about how delicious everything was. San Francisco locals now plan to visit the restaurant!Again, I cannot recommend Trattoria da Vittorio enough. Outstanding food and incredible service. Not to mention kind and friendly owners and servers. We will be customers for life.

One of my favorite places to go to for Italian cuisines!Here is what we ordered: - Lasagna $24- Pappadelle Alfredo $20- Garlic Bread $10I always either order their lasagna, pappadelle or their fettuccine. This this I got their lasagna as I was craving something meaty The lasagna was cooked al dente and their meat sauce is very rich in flavor. The tomato sauce gives it a tangy & hearty taste with the herbs & spices they use. My boyfriend ordered their pappadelle Alfredo and this always hits the spot as well! Love the creamy sauce & the soft and chewy noodles. Love how the flat pasta just sucks up all of that creamy goodness, making every bite super fun to eat!

Rating 3.5 stars. Went here with friends as it has been many years since we have last been here. My friend ordered the fish (sorry forgot which one specifically) which they thoroughly enjoyed. My other friend ordered the pollo marsala which she said was okay but would probably order something else next time. As for myself I ordered the Bella pizza which I had originally thought was individual size but turned out to be family style. Great size for what you pay for! Ingredients were super fresh and my friends enjoyed my pizza as well.May be personal preference however it was really loud and it was a bit hard to hear one another. If you're looking to catch up with friends and family I would probably see if their outdoor seating area may be more suiting. In addition, since we sat in the middle of the room, felt like it was a tight squeeze between myself and the waiters and guests every time they passed by to get to other tables. Overall, this place is always busy so that's a great sign, in addition the staff are all really nice. May have ordered the wrong things but we thought the food was good but nothing extremely stood out to say it tasted spectacular or out of this world. The overall atmosphere and experience may have played a slight impact.

Solid place for Italian if you're in the area. Friendly and attentive staff. It was busy on a Monday evening but we went on Dec 23rd so it was right before Xmas.The food was just ok. It hit the spot for us that evening as we were craving Italian but it wasn't bad at all! In comparison to other authentic Italian restaurants, we have had better for sure. But it's a great neighbourhood spot so I recommend if you're wanting some Italian flare. We didn't try the pizza but they have a brick oven and our family who lives in the area said their pizza is also a good option.

There are metered parking spots and limited free parking spots around this restaurant. It can be a challenge to find parking around this restaurant during lunch and dinner peak hours . This restaurant offers outdoor and indoor dining. We opted for indoor dining. We were greeted by a friendly waiter upon entering the restaurant. We ordered the fried calamari with artichokes, chicken parmesan, salmon, linguine pescatora, and linguine con Voegele.The fried calamari with artichokes were crispy and crunchy. The chicken was juicy and tender. The salmon was moist and the fresh veggies and mashed potatoes paired well with the meal. The pasta was cooked al dente and they were generous with the seafood. We'll be back to try their pizzas and homemade Pappardelle Pasta.

The food - classic Italian food - you want a nice meal without having to go all the way downtown and you live west of Twin Peaks, this place is a great place to dine. Great service and the food is good. Can't go wrong! Give yourself a little extra time to find parking. That is the only headache. Otherwise enjoy the pasta! We loved everything we ordered. My favorite was the zabaglione dessert.

Overview: feels like an Italian resturant. Plenty of wine bottles...the wine list is extensive. Outdoor patio seatingMeal/Time: Dinner Sunday 523PMSeated: 523PMOrdered: 532PMFirst ordered item arrived: 540PMDecor/Atmosphere: Italian cafe, wineService/ Front of the House:Greeted and seated immediately Service/Serving Staff: order taker did not introduce himself. Asked if we had any questions. Service Staff not engaging.After we got our appetizers the waitstaff became more attentive. They cleared the starter plates and replaced the used silverware...really appreciate it.Did not come around to see if I wanted a refill of my iced tea.Food:Grilled Polenta with Gorgonzola Mushroom cream sauce $20. Not bad... you can really taste the cheese. I did not see any grill marks on the Polenta. It was more of a slight pan crisper then grilled. Fried Calamari and artichoke $22. Cooked perfectly. Crispy, tender and moist. Crust is light and airy.For the main course, I had the "grilled" Branzino $32. The dish was served with mashed potatoes and Brussel Sprouts. The brazino was more pan fried then grilled. The dish was really good and a real keeper. The fish was juicy and flaky with perfect amount of salt and lemon. The Brussel Sprouts were tender and not bitter. Mashed was bit watery but good nevertheless.Value: good value for the quality of the meal. Service could be a bit better.Restroom: single unisex. Spacious with baby changing table. It was stocked Will I come back?: Yes...the short ribs looked tempting.

Just a very classic old school Italian restaurant. It is a little on the pricey side, but the portions are there. For starters, I ordered the fried calamari with artichokes. I did enjoy the light batter and crisp but I felt it was a little under seasoned and needed the sauce to coat it.For the main I ordered the pasta with clams and zucchini. The portion itself was pretty big, came with a lot of clams which was a big bonus but in my opinion it was under seasoned. Pasta and clams were cooked well, the flavors in itself lacked a kick that could have brought it over the top.Overall good experience, would come back and possibly try other dishes.

Since they don't take reservations, we waited at Starbucks after he put our party in. The wait wasn't too bad and luckily there was room for a stroller since we had a baby.Favs by far were the mushroom ravioli, burrata, and salad. The ravioli was creamy and comforting. The truffle added a nice decadence. I'm a burrata fiend so I adored that. And the caesar had actual anchovy on it. Yum! I just wish there was pepper on the table since I like A LOT of pepper on my salads. It was busy, so I held back.Service was fine for a small mom and pop type place. Quick and to the point. Tho they were very sweet when I mentioned it was my friend's bday. Ended up comping the tiramisu. And I didn't see the espresso on our bill either.Nice place to grab some Italian food in West Portal.
