What a delicious find! I had the Conchiglie with Smoked Salmon for $26, which has salmon, seashell pasta, tomatoes, dill, and light cream. The salmon was tender and the sauce was light and flavorful. The pasta was served al dente, which worked well for the dish. Overall, it was delicious. The Cape Cod I had was heavy on the vodka, which is my preference anyway. A good deal for the $10 drink. The space is small, which gives a nice cozy feeling because of the Italian decor, including interesting shaped and extra large wine bottles. It's a good sign a restaurant is a keeper when you already want more and it's the same evening!

Delicious cuisine in this Italian restaurant of 25 years in San Francisco. Authentic flavor and a good selection of wine. A must try for lunch or dinner in this cozy spot.

Great pizza. Lately I've been trying different pizzas around Chattanooga. I had to stop by Cesario's. I ordered an American to go. Once I got to the establishment I noticed the exterior of the building was very sleek. Once I stepped inside, I noticed a very subtle and modern building. The staff was friendly and the pizza was even more amazing. I will definitely stop back by

Whenever we are in San Francisco ourselves from the East Bay or bringing friends into town, we find a reason to be conveniently near Cesario's. Curan Theater events in the afternoon always warrant an early dinner (sometimes we can still get the lunch specials). Otherwise, worth a ride-share to this quiet part of town. Atmosphere is calm and service is professional. We've loved everything. The pear salad and calamari to start. Any pasta dish but if the lobster ravoli is still available, a definite. We have to be careful not to eat too much in order to have room for dessert. This last time it was the Lemoncillo Cake and Creme Brulee (huge!).

We were craving Italian in this place did not disappoint. The food was awesome and looked great as you can see in the accompanying photos we provided. The service was very good and the waiter was attentive. When do you think of an old-school Italian restaurant this place looked the part very nicely decorated And very clean.

Good, Italian restaurant with great service. We ordered the calamari, carbonara, and bolognese. The carbonara was our favorite. Both pastas weren't heavily seasoned/salted. We had to add salt and pepper to our portions (which is better than our dishes being made too salty.) The ambiance is mellow, warm, and inviting. The service is prompt and friendly. Great place in Union Square to satisfy your Italian food cravings.

Love this place! I came here for a Valentine's Day reservation, and the service was lovely. Our server took extra time to check on us and make sure everything was to our liking. It is a smaller sized restaurant, making it an intimate experience. I got one of the Valentine's Day Specials -- Linguine pasta with clams, mussels, and shrimp. 10/10 dish. There was so much seafood, you can't even see the pasta underneath in the photo! We loved the Carpaccio so much that we got 2 orders! Can't wait to come back soon!

I was at the Marine's building for a show and left early. I decided I had not eaten lunch and stopped by next door to have Italian food. Cesario's has a business card that says 1998. It says Italian SF. I picked the crabcake sandwich and 3 meatballs with a Coca-Cola. I said fries and they gave me a gritty salad. Maybe potato salad. It's old-fashioned and urban. It took me 40 minutes to sit and eat.

This tiny little place was right next to our hotel, and after walking by it day after day we had to stop and try it out. When I say tiny, I mean TINY! We actually waited in the hotel lobby because there was no space to wait in the restaurant and the weather wasn't great for waiting outside. It initially took a little while for our meals to be served, and they did mix up one of the side options, but were more than willing to correct and bring out the additional pasta in addition to the risotto that was already plated. The salmon was delicious, as were the vegetables. The pasta was average--nothing special about it. However, dessert was where this place really stood out. The flourless chocolate cake was thick and dense and almost too fudgy. It needed something to cut it that was more than just the small dollop of cream. The limoncello marscapone cake was to die for. Excellent. We were looking up recipes before we had left the table to see if it would be possible to recreate it at home. The cake itself was more dense than your average cake and it held the lemon flavor so well. I've never had this as a cake before but look forward to trying it again. I'd return just for this cake.
