    **Update- Lately every time we come here for dinner, it gets worst. Staff informed us that they are done to 1 cook (definitely not a chef). The prices have also increased for simple Pasta. Spaghetti and Meatsballs was nearly 40 dollars. Nothing we ate was worth the price they are now charging, which is sad because I've liked this restaurant for a long time. Always a delicious meal and a enjoyable and relaxing experience.

    Local Authentic Italian Hidden Gem!!!! I stumbled upon this little hidden gem while living in Tower District. The food here is amazing! I highly suggest making a reservation if you're wanting to eat here. Everything is amazing and delicious. The service is always wonderful and friendly. The Owner usually comes by to check on you and is super friendly and inviting, treating you like family. I love the steamed clams or oggi bruschetta as apps. You absolutely can't go wrong with the gnocchi or the Cavatelli Arrabiata, both of which are homemade and the sauce is to die for!!!! Also highly recommend their homemade spumoni ice cream. AMAZING!!!!!

    What a treat this was! They have some old standards on the menu, but MAN are they well executed!! The owner is obviously Italian himself and creates a delightful atmosphere making his guests feel like family. Reminds me a lot of my dad and his family (Sicilian). Hands down best Italian food in the Central Valley. Bruschetta was PERFECT. I've had a lot of Bruschetta in my life, and it's always a sloppy mess - never have i been able to take a perfect bite without it all falling apart! I was blown away! Gnocchi was handmade and I ended up eating way more than I expected because I couldn't stop. Speaking of which, I took a bite of my bf's leftover scampi and even after I'm totally stuffed I'm ADDICTED. Love love love this place!!

    What an amazing place to eat! Very cute and cozy. Definitely not what you would expect from that part of town. Next time I’m in town I’m driving back over and eating here again. The food was so fresh and the service amazing. Go out of your way to visit here.

    I have driven by this place more times than I can count. Finally stopped and had dinner last night and let me tell you I was sorry I had not been eating here before. When you walk in the smell of garlic and something beautiful just envelopes you. The ambiance is subtle yet amazing. I had a tomato bisque (fn amazing) and my bf a ceaser salad both of which were filling on their own. For the main course I had a pan seared salmon (I never order fish) and he had the classic cioppino. Overall I was highly impressed and no need to say it but I will 100 percent be back.

    Really great food! You get the taste of Italian at its best. Waitress, waiter, and cook/owner, I believe were nice, respectful, and great. I enjoyed my dinner.

    I wish my experience mirrored other reviewers! I wanted to take my lover out for a romantic meal of spaghetti and meatballs. The tables were crammed so close together we couldn’t even hear each other talking. The spaghetti took over an hour to be made and it was almost $40 for a small plate with two meatballs! When my boyfriend asked for more parmesan, the waiter argued that spaghetti and meatballs doesn’t need it. Was he practicing penny pinching? A bottle of peligrino water was $12 (costs $2 in the grocery store). The wine was good though. Hence the two stars. What a disappointment. I’ll go to Annex next time…

    Great first time experience for me and my wife. Owner Luey was incredibly welcoming and even gave us better seats than what the waitress was planning to give us. The meatball appetizer and ciopino dish was good too.

    This staple of the community has fallen off significantly. The last two times I have been a patron here the food has been sloppy and underwhelming, both times my food has been drowning in sauce. My most recent time ordering was to-go. I ordered simple, spaghetti with meatballs. Once getting home, again, food swimming in sauce. So much, that the styrofoam container, was leaking sauce into the bag. For the price point of this restaurant, they have to get back on top of their food quality and service.

    Quaint Italian dinner restaurant. Waitstaff was friendly and engaging. The food was delicious. We got there 45 min after they opened, and they were packed! That was a good sign that lived up to the expectations.

    Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Just very relaxing and enjoyable. Will definitely return.

    Absolutely beautiful place, the food was the best authentic Italian food ever! The service was very welcoming and on point. Throughly enjoyed the wonderful owner taking time to visit with us too! We're so thankful to have this jewel in town and love everything about Oggi's!♥️

    Great ambiance! Staff friendly and attentive. This is probably the only upscale restaurant in the Tower District, and one of the few without a rowdy "sports bar" element, which was a relief! Food was a a little salty, but otherwise delicious. The chianti recommended was wonderful, even though I had fish, it still was tasty! I had the grilled salmon special--very fresh and the vegetables and pasta sides were a lovely complement. My husband had the chicken pesto, which was good, but could have used more garlic. Bread was offered when we sat down and with the meal. Place is very popular, so make sure to make reservations in advance, as we almost didn't get a table on a Friday night.

    Great food! Great atmosphere and hands down great service! Best bruschetta I have ever had, I can make a meal out of that alone! Definitely call to make reservations it fills up fast.

  • 5/5 Sierra E. 10 months ago on Google
    I moved to this area and had the hardest time finding authentic great Italian food and was homesick for Italian food that I didn't have to cook... UNTIL I ate at Oggi Cosi Si Mangia. Soooo fantastic. The flavors are on point! You will not be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Robert S. 9 months ago on Google
    Fantastic! All around great. The one negative thing I will say is, there's a service charge for using a credit card that's not mentioned. So if your card receipt is more than your bill, that's why

    Definitely a must go if you are looking for a date night or even just overall great food. Service is amazing and they are very communicative when it comes to pairing your choice of food with their wine selection. A place you should be prepared to pay more than a typical spot but its worth it and will not disappoint... Best advice I can give is to make reservations to ensure you can get a spot, havent ran into an issue as far as getting a table or waiting but its always best to be prepared instead of showing up and finding out theres a wait

    Awesome spot for Italian food. Very authentic and delicious. Highly recommended for dates! They have quality service.
