Tommaso Ristorante Italiano   

I researched dining opportunities for my first trip to SF and decided Tommaso's was a must do after reading rave reviews on many differnent sites. We were not dissapointed. We dined there on our first evening in town and were treated like royalty! The food and the service was perfect in every way. My daughter and I split lasagna and a small pizza. The sauce, fresh pasta, and spices utilized made the lasagna superb and the crust, fresh garlic, and fresh spices made us try very hard to consume every bite of the pizza. Not possilbe!!! We finished up our meal with tiramisu which was creamy and flavorful. Needless to say, the restaurant choice for the next eveing did not even compare in service, flavor, or quality so we returned for our last evening meal. We were seated on the end of the long tables down the center of the restaraunt and were at first dissapointed not to be seated at one of the 8 or nine cozy booths along the sides. Little did we know that we had been seated at the best spot in the house! Our view of the oven and the wonderful Italian family interactions made our dining experience priceless. We were totally transformed into Italy! Don't miss this wonderful experience of fabulous food and family!

Ambiance but long wait, pizza is ok, but not best in Bay Area

I was a patient at Letterman Army Hospital in 1954 when a friend of mine snuck a Lupo's wood fired oven cheese pizza by the nurses. I have been hooked on these marvelous pies ever since. The change to Tommasso's about 1973 did not change the quality.
