    Absolutely love coming to Beretta for their happy hour and brunch. Once seated, you can open the menu via a QR code at the table. The heated outdoor patio is lovely to sit at and catch up with friends! The drinks are quite tasty and not too strong. I’m a big fan of thin crust pizza and the margherita pizza is so amazing. Definitely come early as because they’ll fill up super fast during the dinner rush. It’s a bit less busy during brunch on weekends as well.

    Came here for a date on a Saturday and put ourselves on the waitlist and got seated immediately! Good: - Prices are super reasonable for such a nice place! - I loved the squid ink risotto - such a good unique flavor profile and the calamari really elevated the whole presentation of the dish and the way that each bite would feel different and crunchy - Bartender's pizza was surprisingly light and I loved the burrata that came on top - The meatballs were tasty and huge too! - My drink was light and fruity as well - I got the tequila one - Really quick service Bad: - Pretty loud inside and harder to hear conversation Overall it was really a great place to go for a romantic date and also to get some solid Italian food without breaking the bank.

    One of my newly favorite Italian restaurants in SF! Thin crust pizzas. Cozy dining environment. Contemporary Italian comfort food. I had a wonderful time there. Recognized as one of the “Best Restaurants In The Mission” by Infatuation, this hip bar and pizzeria caught my eyes from the very beginning when I passed by What would we recommend at Beretta? 🍕 Italian sausage pizza (10/10 - impressive) 🔥 Mushroom Risotto (I also really like this dish as well) 🍹 It’s also very famous for cocktails! But I would not recommend its appetizer “eggplant caponatina”

    We were searching for Italian food one evening and landed at this spot. The pizzas (and calzone) caught my eyes the most, and they seem to be the highlight of the menu; they're less heavy on pasta dishes. The "bartenders' choice" pizza had amazing flavors -- the spicy sausage and peppers meshed perfectly with the giant lumps of burrata. I usually prefer thicker crust, but I didn't miss it at all here. The Margherita pizza definitely maximized its potential here, too. We didn't have any, but all the apps passing by our table looked amazing. They had a nice vibe, good ambiance/music, and service was quick on a pretty busy evening. Don't walk past this place too quickly; it's 100% worth a visit!

    I recently visited Beretta SF in the Mission (Valencia) and it was a great experience. This Italian restaurant has a limited food menu but the food is fresh and authentic. This is a great date night restaurant with amazing food and wine. We ordered the crab balls, bread, and pizza, which I highly recommend. In addition to the amazing food, the staff was extremely friendly, kind, and very helpful. They also stay open late (11 pm) on most nights, which is great especially for the Mission.

    We came here for a friend’s birthday party with a large group of 16 people. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Our waitress was great and helped us plan a family style meal so everyone had enough portions of all the dishes we wanted to try. Everything across the menu is tasty - from the appetizers, to the pizza, pasta, and cocktails! The walnut bread with burrata and mushrooms truffle honey was amazing.

    We came here for our first wedding anniversary, and it was the perfect place to celebrate! They don't take reservations for small groups, but I placed myself on the waiting list about a half-hour before we arrived. We didn't have to wait for a table and were seated right away around 5:30pm on a Thursday. Since it was happy hour, we ordered a few aperol spritzes for $7 and the eggplant caponatina for $6. The eggplant was so light and flavorful. One of the best ways I've had eggplant! We also ordered the walnut bread (burrata, mushroom-truffle honey) and the capricciosa pizza (marinara, provolone, prosciutto cotto, artichokes, portobello, crimini). The burrata was perfect, and the prosciutto is not your basic cheese plate type meat. It's thick and juicy. We also ordered the panna gelato with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt and the pistachio semifreddo with berries and an almond cookie crumble. Everything was divine. I can taste the semifreddo as I type.

    Great food and great service. The interior is pretty casual and modern. Servers were super responsive and food came out quickly. Lots of vegetarian options available. We got a mushroom risotto (pretty good), a pasta chilaqueles (highly recommend), a beet salad(also highly recommend), and some drinks. The chilaqueles green sauce was tangy and compliments the the savoryness of the rest of the dish. They have pretty good coffee, slight acidic. Drinks were good the floral one with hibiscus was really nice and refreshing. Prices were pretty good.

    This place has great service and very good food. We had many vegan and vegetarian options. The salads and the focaccia bread were wonderful. A lively place for a Sunday brunch.

    My God the food is so good. Appetizers to drinks and dessert all amazing. Server was great too and cocktails were some of the best I've ever had. With alcohol that's high end and mixed right I was feeling perfect from two drinks. Highly recommend and our dog loved the outside seating.

    Food was just okay. The focaccia was the highlight of the meal. Wasn’t a big fan of the pizza, it had a soggy crust/ texture and fell apart trying to eat it. Our server was great and we loved the atmosphere, but it was disappointing to say the least.

    Food was okay. Dark ambience so probably better for a date night. I ordered the blood orange salad which sounded really good on paper, but it was basically just slices of oranges with a sprinkle of greens. Pizza was just okay and salty

    This location was a far better experience than the Divisadero location. The hostess was friendly (and a genuine friendly, not the false customer service type of friendly). Our waitress was sweet and on top of things, making sure that our table was cleared in a timely manner before bringing out additional dishes. It’s funny how I went to this location with a party of five and had no issues with any dishes or any delays even though they were busy, yet my party of two (during a slower time) received horrible service at the Divisadero location. If given the option to choose between the two locations choose Valencia. If Valencia has a 30 minute wait for a table but Divisadero can seat you right away, wait for Divisadero. The moral of the story is: this is the Kim Kardashian of the Beretta family. Go here! The staff is nicer and the food has more flavor. There was even a better vibe/energy at this location.

    Went here on a Friday night to grab dinner with a friend. It’s a small place but cute with good ambiance and music. They were very busy that night but the staff was also very attentive and fast when it came to serving out table. We ordered the meatballs which for appetizer they were very flavorful and the sauce was super tasty. We also shared their margherita burrata pizza and tricolore salad along with their spa water cocktail and firestarter cocktails and we were very pleased with all our choices.

    Great meatballs and pizza, friendly staff and super cool bartender! Every time I walk through here, I can feel the cozy atmosphere of the whole scene. Finally it was my turn to have a great meal at Beretta!

    The atmosphere is confusing; it’s dark with small lights scattered around so you’d assume calm and romantic but the loud hip/hop rap make it feel like a club, i couldn’t hear myself think. Ordered a pizza and there seemed to be sufficient toppings on it but it was just lacking in flavor. I had to ask for a chili oil to pour on top to give it more flavor. All in all, had higher hopes for here but didn’t get to them

    Started off with the eggplant appetizer and the nuestra Paloma and Kentucky mule. The drinks were pretty good not too strong but no virgins here. Next we had the squid ink risotto and funghi misti pizza. The pizza was delicious the mixture of mushrooms and saltiness of the cheese hit the spot. I enjoyed the risotto, but I couldn't help but feel it was lacking something. The food came out fast and hot and the service was very good. I plan on returning and trying out a few other pizzas and dishes.

  • 5/5 Aman S. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything we had was splendid. The service was top notch. The kitchen was so quick in turning out the food even though they were kind of busy. Very impressive!!! The pizza was the highlight for me. It was fantastic. The Spicy Italian was actually Spicy. It was great. Focaccia was fresh and delicious and the Eggplant Burrata dish was also great.

  • 5/5 Josh M. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food and a great time. The tiramisu was the best we’ve ever had - a must try! The lamb shank was perfect and peeled right off the bone. And the cocktails were amazing - the peloma and the float n stone were our faves. We don’t really recommend the seafood linguini because the muscles and clams were small and the noodles were falling apart, but the shrimp was excellent. Service was very good and the outdoor heat lamps made it a comfortable nighttime experience. Would definitely come again :)

    I wasn’t to overly impressed with this restaurant, don’t get me wrong it’s a nice place to meet of drinks and some sides. When I think Italian type of cuisine I think of dishes with chicken and meat. The portions are tiny and the prices are not, the restaurant is really small and a bit crowded, not really a place I would come dinner, more like a place I would come for the pizza, drinks and friends. Sorry just my take on the place…

  • 5/5 Hannah Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Very busy spot in the area but the food is good with good staff. I joined Yelp waitlist and it was super long but I checked in with the hostess and it wasn’t that long of a wait. The vibes also fun for a friends gathering or date night.
