    I’ve been here a couple times and am so impressed with how delicious everything is. I can’t recommend Corks enough. Easily some of the best Italian I’ve ever had. Don’t pass this place up when you’re looking for a pasta night in SF!

    Past was very good, well cooked and seemed fresh. Only thing is stay away from the god awful Caprese salad! Dear restaurant owner/ chef if you don’t have good tomatoes don’t charge 13$ for a unripe salad. This salad had half inch thick cuts of rock hard steak tomatoes. Use heirlooms next time and if you can’t find ripe heirlooms use cherry tomatoes idk do something about it or remove it. Otherwise great pasta good wine which is the main event so 5/5 :)

    Great date night spot. Very good wine, maybe better food! Italian wines and food predominantly. Loved the homemade gnocchi and fettuccine bolognese.

    The gnocchi is simply incredible and Alejandro will have you taken care of with some amazing wine options. The hospitality, ambience, and food make this one of the best italian spots in SF.

    Had an itch to take myself out for dinner last night and stumbled upon Corks. I walked past at first but the smell of pasta turned me around. Sat outside and enjoyed a heavenly plate of papardelle with rabbit and prunes, some delicious toasty bread with olive oil, and a glass of red the owner suggested. An amazing neighborhood gem that I’ve already told friends and family about. Will be back asap!

    Excellent handmade pasta dishes and wine list. We had the burrata and prosciutto appetizer, which was perfect to share and highlighted with a nice quality rucola. The fettuccine and ragù di coniglio was beautifully prepared, with a freshness of parsley and touch of sweetness with plum. Tiramisù was the perfect close to the meal. Giuseppe was as warm as attentive a host and the care he takes shines through in this authentic Italian wine bar/restaurant. Grazie!

    DELICIOUS Italian food and a great little spot for wine. We always get the prosciutto and buratta (it's the best I've had), and the gnocchi is a rich must-have, but all of the pasta dishes are good.

    This place is try excellent! The owner is Sicilian, hilarious, super nice, and knows how to source some very good Italian ingredients / wine and make some fantastic pasta.

    Really think this is the best Italian food in the city. Awesome ambiance and service. I feel lucky to have Corks in my neighborhood

    I can't believe I have never heard of Corks and found it by walking by it one evening. The best past in SF and the best gnocchi I have ever had. And I have eaten in many good Italian restaurants. The wine collection is great as well. Beautiful ambiance, very cozy, and lovely owner.

    Fantastic handmade pasta dishes and delicious Italian wines. Very cute, slow, Italian dinners meant to cherish. They know what they are doing here.

    My favorite Italian place in SF. The pasta is better than what I've gotten in Rome, and the wine pairing's incredible!

  • 5/5 Kaitlyn V. 1 year ago on Google
    Come for the pasta and stay for the wine and vibes. Really cute neighborhood spot. Friendly service that makes you feel like you’re in Italy. Everything was amazing quality. Some of the best Italian food I’ve had outside of Italy. One of the few places you can still get in on a Saturday without a reservation. Burrata, prosciutto, pasta, wine, and bread were ALL incredible. We’ll be back!!
