Pescatore Reviews

We took a chance based on recent reviews and were so happy that we did. The whole staff is wonderful but May and Nina ensured that we'll be back a couple more times before our vacation ends. Excellent food, excellent service and a wonderful local vibe. Keep doing what you do - it's working!

We really enjoyed the chicken parm and spaghetti at dinner. Ryan was a great server too. He was very attentive, accommodating, and friendly. Would highly recommend going here.

Amazing dinner! Food and atmosphere were great :-) The staff was extremely friendly too. Get the pizza!

Ryan was great! Great food and came here two nights while in San Francisco. The seafood linguine was amazing.

Visiting from Australia, best food we ate all holiday. There was something for the whole family to eat. Service from Ryan was excellent.

The food was amazing!! We started with the Brochette and then had the Margarita pizza!! Wow. It was amazing! We also had two mixed drinks that were perfect!! Ryan, our waiter, was the best!! Will definitely be back again!!

Beautiful pasta meal, steak and service. Relaxing San Fran atmosphere. Thanks for the great service, Ryan.

The service we received from Ryan in the restaurant was impeccable, nothing was to much trouble for him, he did not stop all night. The food was to die for and I thoroughly recommend you visit this place if you are in San Francisco.

Welcoming and pleasant staff, very good and affordable dishes. Good atmosphere in the restaurant and located near different hotels and Pier 39

Nina hostess is really friendly and attentive! Waiter Jorge are also friendly at all he was so nice to us! The dinner was fantastic. Fantastic restaurant. Staff are super friendly and very attentive. The food was very tasty. best restaurant in San Francisco Thank you very much!

While staying at the Hotel Zoe, we had the pleasure of some fine dining at this restaurant. For both of our Dinners here, our server was, Ryan. His excellent service and friendliness made a great food experience, better!!! The food, one night was Squid ink linguini with seafood and Halibut another night. Awesome food and drinks. Great service. Reasonable prices!!! Highly recommended!!!

We enjoyed eating at Pescatore Trattoria, the staff are friendly and we were staying at Zoe Hotel so overall convenient and enjoyable to eat here with my family.

Lovely location well styled with friendly helpful staff. Food is amazing cooked right in front of you.

Ryan was our server. We appreciated his honesty, his energy and his attentiveness. He made the experience that was already amazing (the decor, the food, the overall vibe) even better. He was clear about his recommendations on the menu and never tried to "sell" us anything. This is our first time in San Francisco. And this experience really illustrated for us that it would not be our last. Pescatore's location (to be fair we were staying in the Zoe) relative to the Fisherman's wharf was perfect. Even on a rainy cool evening.

Went to dinner with my husband who was set on a good Italian place. Great vibes, great food, great service. The salmon was perfectly cooked and my husband devoured (and loved of course) his fruti de mar. Definitely a winner! Cute, small, classic Italian feel with a few tvs if you’re wanting to watch sports at the bar.

This is a follow-up review to my visit yesterday to Pescatore. I realized that I forgot to mention our host and server Jose. We were seated in the hotel lobby before the restaurant opened. Hungry and thirsty from sightseeing, Jose let us inside, seated us with water and menus until they opened. Jose’s service was great the entire night. It’s easy to talk about the food and drink quality, I’m sorry I forgot to mention Jose in earlier review. Thank you, Jose! Keep up the great work.

In San Francisco for a week and decided to check out Pescatore Trattoria based on reviews and proximity to hotel.. We were not disappointed. The rock fish and the salmon were both very good. The chocolate dessert was delicious and very well presented. Ryan, our server, was friendly, prompt, and attentive despite being very busy. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience there.

Ricardo is super attentive, we had a great experience with breakfast 2 days in a row! Highly recommend!

I had a really good time! We had Josh as our server/bartender since we ate ate at a bar table. He was really attentive to our table despite having a full bar area. He was very prompt on refilling our drinks/waters and brought out the food promptly! The food itself was amazing. I got the salmon and my partner got the steak! The salmon was fresh and tasted really good. The steak was not dry and was cooked perfectly medium! The chef did a good job with the food! Highly recommend would definitely come again!

We were on vacation, wanted to have a nice italian dinner near the hotel. Food and service was 5 star

My husband and I stayed at hotel Zoe so we found it so convenient to just eat there, we had dinner for our anniversary. I love the staff the food, overall the environment. Out waiter was so nice we talked like we were old friends, the food the drinks just brought it all together. If you want a nice casual dinner for birthday or any celebration I would definitely recommend this place.

It was amazing and we got a good round of drinks from May. She is an amazing server who deserves more credit.

TLDR: Good Service, very friendly, food was delicous ans great rooms. When we walked in we felt welcomed and someone led us directley to our table.

We were staying at the nearby Rui hotel and had previously eaten on Fisherman's Wharf. We found Pescatore on our walk to the nearby supermarket and decided to give it a try. We liked it so much that we arranged to go back the following evening. The service was friendly and efficient but also fairly unobtrusive. We were a little surprised at the cost of the glasses of wine and on the second night, we decided to have beer instead. It was a pleasant change from the hurly burly of Fisherman's Wharf.

Very disappointing dinner here. A very limited menu with only three starters on offer and a very limited range of pizzas and pasta dishes. We ordered fairly quickly but our drinks took a while to come. But the main problem was the arrival of the food. We were sat right next to the pizza oven and therefore could see that out starters where ready and sitting on the counter waiting to be brought over to us for about 10 minutes. Then we saw that our pizzas were also ready and also sitting and waiting to be delivered to us! Eventually having asked the chef if he would like us to come and get our starters ourselves the starters were delivered. But we had literally just started eating them when they tried to deliver our main course as well. They then offered to “ keep the main course warm” so that we had time to eat our starters. They came back after about 5 minutes with the mains again and basically said they couldn’t keep them warm anymore so we had to have them then even though we were still eating our starters. The food we did have was rather second rate to be honest. The bianca pizza really didn’t taste of anything although apparently the margarita and pasta dish was OK. To be fair the waiter knew that it wasn’t ideal service and did give us some money off the bill. But we definitely won’t be going back again.

Enjoyed 3 days of breakfast at Pescatore. It was excellent and made a point to go for Dinner. Best dinner on this trip. Stayed at Zoe 4 times and missed out on Dinner for a long time thank you Ryan. Edit Guy next to me loves his meal too:)

It was amazing experienced celebrating my birthday in this restaurant. We're from Las Vegas lots of beautiful and good restaurant but when I visited PESCATORE TRATTORIA the first thing I noticed is cleanliness, romantic place, interior decoration, friendly waiter (JOSE) with a big smile on his face that's A+ right away and the feeling as a birthday celebrant makes me happy. FOODS mamamiaaaa! so delicious everything's perfect for my birthday and I'll see you soon again this summer. KUDOS!

Ryan took excellent care of us while at pescatore. He remembered no ice and lemon in my water. He was fabulous!! We enjoyed talking to him while we ordered.

This restaurant is great! Food is delicious and service is outstanding, especially our waitress Nina!! We ask if she is working each time we go to the restaurant and request her section!!!!

Warning!!! Please carefully review your bill. The final prices may differ from the menu card. We were charged a 20% service fee for no apparent reason! Never ever… be cautious.

Awesome May job !😍 thank you so much for everything ! We gonna come back for sure next time ! Great service

The espresso Martini is a must made by May is incredibly smooth and delicious and definitely gets a job done.

Friendly service, tasty food. Ambience nice as well. In total good choice ! 4 people, 4 different dishes, all delicious.

Salmon was fastastic. brownie sundae was so good I ordered it twice. Highly recommend and make sure you sit at the bar

We enjoyed breakfast, dinner and drinks at the bar while were there on vacation. Portions were great, very flavorful and price was right. Staff was professional but fun and friendly! Would definitely go back!

Nice quiet restaurant with a good atmosphere and the best bolognese I have ever had, so much flavour! Would definitely recommend.

Ryan was a great waiter! Couldn’t have asked for a better atmosphere and experience. Food was great.

If I could rate this hole as a zero star I would. We stayed at the Hotel Zoe for 5 nights (separate review) available and were provided with complimentary breakfast with £40 per couple. The service and attitude from the staff in this restaurant was that bad; we didn't use the restaurant again for the stay. That was a total of £300 worth of complimentary breakfasts we chose not to utilise as the service was that poor. When the waitress comes to your table and on realising that you are English and not American - she walks away and doesn’t take your order. We were 25 mins in (and it wasn’t busy) before we managed to get the supervisor to get an order placed. The waitress then ignored us completely, serving the tables of Americans either side of us with coffee etc and just walked on by. 45 mins gone by and our continental breakfast is all but thrown at us and no sign of a coffee top up etc. Racism and anti English sentiment - I have never felt as uncomfortable in a restaurant as this…. Brits beware - we are not welcome here…. I spoke to the hotel management and an apology was offered; but this was not a Hotel Zoe problem…. I was informed that the restaurant management were advised of the situation; but chose not to enter into any form of dialogue. But some times “sorry doesn’t put Humpty back together again” !!! The way we were treated left me angry and confused, as there was no reason to act in this manner, but to openly ignore us and serve the tables either side of us was criminal.

The restaurant prepared the best risotto I’ve ever had and Ryan served me very well. I appreciated my experience!! Thank you

This is a convenient option if you are in the Fisherman’s Wharf area or at the Hotel Zoe, so which it is attached. I was a little disappointed that the food was a little bland (I had the chicken parmesan), and the waitress didn’t know what I meant when I asked if the pasta was made in-house. That being said, it was a relatively quiet restaurant with a pretty open floor plan, so people weren’t crammed in like sardines, as is the case with many restaurants.

Service was very good . The spaghetti Bolognese was prepared with fresh ingredients and the pasta was al dente. Excellent! Tomato Risotto was delicious !! Highly recommended! The pizza was very good and Jose , our waitress, was so good and attentive!! I highly recommend this restaurant

I came to Pescatore tonight for cocktails and dinner. The Old Fashioned prepared by the mixologist May was extraordinary! I've been drinking this classic drink for years but May's version is an award winner. Chef Raffa's fresh halibut was equally fantastic--best I've ever had! The service here is great, they treat me like family. If you're in San Francisco, forget the Alcatraz tour and come straight to Pescatore and ask for May and Raffa!!

Ryan a great waiter at Pescatore for breakfast! Very attentive and quick! Ask for him if and when you blow into town!!

The food was delicious and the kitchen stuff was amazing I try the NY steak it was really good the chef did a perfect job

We went to dinner with some friends, the dinner was very good but the bathroom was dirty, there was no toilet paper, the floor was dirty.

We had a fabulous dinner here. The pasta dishes we ordered were spot on - especially the chicken with spaghetti. Lovely staff and ambience.

Everything we had was amazing! The focaccia, the burrata, the Caesar salad were such great appetizers. The salmon was so good as an entree. Lonny was our server and he was awesome! Such a great vibe and dinner for our last night in S.F. Highly recommend!

Lovely breakfast. Hot, tasty breakfast, great service and cool decor. Currently staying at hotel nearby with buffet breakfast included but fancied a change and this was perfect!

Dropped by for breakfast. Was told only buffet breakfast available. $40. for full breakfast or $25. for toast, cereal and fruit only. Coffee and O.J. extra charge. Very poor breakfast. Fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, hard bacon, sausage, cut up fruit, pancakes. With tip my final bill came to $62. for one person for the most overpriced breakfast of my life. Food also was barely hot. Staff very nice, but still a bad memory. Skip this place and go to Mama’s or Darren’s. Both nearby.

Ryan was very professional and friendly.we enjoy the food and the service. The food was great and the service was even better

This place should be well known! Very warm and accommodating host! Conveniently located! Good food and drink! I had breakfast and dinner there. I was very pleased.

Used only for breakfasts and brunches but I recommend it for quality and quantity in relation to the average prices in San Francisco. Various types of continental and international breakfast that can be combined in various ways, good desserts (I recommend the toast with strawberries and cinnamon bananas). Courteous staff. The espresso coffee is also excellent: in San Francisco it is not guaranteed!

This is a brilliant restaurant! My wife and I are here in America for our honeymoon, they made us feel so welcome. Our server José really nice guy and attentive! We were staying in nearby hotel, although we both agreed we would stay at their smaller hotel if we were to come again! Looked lovely! Would 100% recommend.

Our bartender Josh was very kind and offered great service. Definitely enjoyed our time and we will be back.

Ryan was an amazing waiter. Without him we wouldn't have had a great experience. He served us with a smile, made great recommendations for the food and made my twin and I birthday amazing. What an amazing way to end our twin birthday. You should give him a raise, he definitely deserves one or two. He's definitely someone to keep around.

The food and service were terrific. I would recommend it to anyone. Jose was a terrific waiter who was attentive and personable.

Inviting neighborhood trattoria with a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Ordered one of their daily specials and was quite happy with my choice. Their roasted trout was tasty and plentiful. It came with roasted cauliflower, yellow onions, roasted brusell sprouts and toasted walnuts. A light gorgonzola cream sauce complimented the entree.

The food was great: we enjoyed breakfast and dinner, and everyone was able to find something on the menu. The servings were big. Service came with a smile. René in particular was helpful and engaging.

We happened upon Pescatore when walking early morning. It looked welcoming and was filling quickly. It exceeded all expectations. Food is extraordinary, service outstanding & great atmosphere. We had Cinammon & Raisin French Toast and Veggie frittata, both great choices. Our only dilemma what to have when we come back…. Bloody Pescatore breakfast cocktail a given. Hi to Katie from Sheffield - great service from a super friendly team 🤗

Love the place for a quick bite to eat and drink. Nice bar and friendly staffs. Overall great experience.

Really enjoyed my meal (party of 4) as I had Crab Risotto. 2 others had pizza and one was a chicken pasta. We had 2 drinks each and to our astonishment our bill was $296. Our jaws nearly hit the floor. This was an average meal to be honest, service was ok, San Francisco tourist tax, service tax and gratuities all added. Please be aware of other charges when booking restaurants!

Friendly staff always made us feel welcome every time we dined here. Excellent food and very conveniently placed next to our hotel!

This perfectly located restaurant near Fisherman's Wharf has friendly staff and delicious food. Ryan was our server and he was personable and smiley and very attentive. This was the last day of a 10 day Vegas/LA/SanFran tour and was our most enjoyable meal. The tomato shrimp risotto was scrumptious, my husband loved the wood fired meat lover pizza and the dessert... OMG... pear bread pudding and chocolate torte with ice cream. I highly recommend a stop here to tickle your tastebuds.

We were delighted to discover this lovely little Italian Bistro just down the street from our hotel. I had a wonderfully succulent and well seasoned chicken bun while my wife had a caesar salad. We finished by sharing a stunning chocolate torte. The staff were friendly and helpful and I thought the ambiance was perfect. We will definitely return to sample the lunch menu, those pizzas need trying

We went there with teh family as we were in hotels close to this restaurant. The waiter José was very friendly and welcoming. He spoke wel English as Spanish too as most of the people here in SF do. We had an Italian focaccia as a shared appetiser. Then we ordered a Salmon tartare and Ciopino. We were pleasantly surprised by the Ciopino. She had seen this dish on numerous menu's before but all in price ranges from $ 50 - $80. All-in-all a nice diner, not super fresh though nice.

Jose was awesome the food was so fresh and tasty. You must stop for dinner or brunch when in San Francisco you won’t be disappointed

Food was great and on point. Ryan, our server, was very attentive to our needs. The ambiance was great and will go back again.

We had dinner there because of the situation. The quality of the food was good, but expensive for the area. The absolute cheek was the behavior when paying, in line with the tipping rip-off that is now becoming more and more common in the USA. Consumption according to the menu price 90 USD, including taxes 105 USD. Credit card payment 115 USD was refused on the grounds that the minimum tip was around 20 USD. He actually wanted 150 USD. Unfortunately my wife was at the bar with her card and agreed to this with 124 USD, at the table I would have given the impudent guy 105 USD in cash and left - and if he hadn't liked it he could have called the police. As in many other restaurants there were hardly any guests left in the restaurant (here exactly 7 including us). Let these blackmailers go bankrupt

Amazing experience. We had great time at this restaurant. Please ask for Jose to be your host. The food was tasty and service was outstanding. This place doesn't look like it has good food but you'll be suprised. This is secret gem. You are going to meet amazing people working at this restaurant . True and honest hospitality.

Between the service and food, this was the best meal I had in Fisherman’s Wharf. I was weary at first of the idea of eating at a restaurant connected to a hotel. But boy was I wrong! Starting with the service, the waiter was very personable, helpful, and efficient. The dining area was great but due to the fact that I wanted to film my experience, I was able to eat in the comfy lounge area in Hotel Zoe. When the food came out, the presentation was immaculate. After eating the seafood fettuccine, chicken Parmesan, and pizza, all were equally great and was the best meal I had on this trip. (I went to quite a few restaurants too!) I highly recommend going to Pescatore. Great food and dining experience.

Jose made the best out of my experience at Pescatore he was super helpful and the service was perfection.

Delicious food and excellent service. Ryan was so accommodating when I ordered a special menu for my autistic son. Highly recommended.

Ryan did a great job, very polite, perfect service, good recommendations for dishes. Big variety of tasteful dishes. We had pasta and steak and risotto.

great place! great dinner and also very good for breakfast. Ryan the best attention ever! Pasta, delicious!!

The food was excellent, very tasty and came out steaming hot. That wasn’t the only thing that was great about this experience. Ryan was our server and he went above and beyond for our experience. He anticipated anything we needed along with being super friendly and accommodating. If you consider coming here, ask for Ryan as your server; he does not disappoint!

I had the Caesar Salad and Seafood Fettuccine Alfredo. Both were delish! The Caesar was noteworthy since it actually had real anchovies instead of just anchovy paste mixed into the dressing. The Fettucini was very good snd came with more than enough shrimp and the perfect tasting sauce. My server was Ryan who did an excellant job and made me feel welcome and right at home! Great experience!

Great location to the venue w3 we’re attending. Jose our server was gracious from the moment he greeted us. I immediately mentioned to my wife that I liked him. Jose was informative & intuitive. After I food arrived he offered some focaccia bread gratis since we did not order bread. We didn’t want a whole basket. It was perfect for my wife to soak the tasty Alfredo sauce on her fettuccine. The food was delicious! The prices are reasonable considering the location being near a tourist trap ? We will go back.

We had breakfast at Pescatore and will return! The atmosphere had a great vibe and wait staff were friendly and attentive! The food ( veggie frittata) was perfection! What a fabulous find!

Great food and great service! My wife and I brought my mother here for her birthday and we had a great time. They even brought us a complementary birthday lava cake - this made her day. I will definitely come back!

We stayed at Hotel Zoe and went for dinner at Pescatore Trattoria one night while our older children ordered in. We shared the crab cake appetizer and seared tuna. Both were exceptional in presentation and taste. Despite the limited menu, we had planned to eat there again as the food was so good and we wanted to try other items, however, the restaurant was closed for the last two nights of our stay.

So great to eat here!! Service was sensational with food to match. Prompt delivery of beautiful food!! I have been here for 5 nights and would highly recommend this place !Shout out to Ryan who has been exceptional in his attention.

The best spot for Italian food in town. If ever by the bay make sure to check this place out. The drinks always made to perfection.

Excellent Food Excellent service Come hungry! Lots of food!! Lots of options Walking distance from Fisherman’s Wharf

An excellent restaurant with a varied menu. Our service was great from our friendly waiter. A relaxed yet fun city atmosphere. The me u choices are what drew me to select this restaurant as can satisfy a taste for seafood and Italian. The old fashioned was made just right and my salmon had a perfect crust yet juicy throughout the center. The red onion rings were wonderful as was the risotto.

We had made dinner reservations for this restaurant, but when we arrived & checked in with the host (waited longer than we thought was necessary since all staff members were standing by the bar, but no one was in a hurry to come to the host desk), we still had to wait longer for a table even though there was only one party of two people in the whole place. Very limited menu! I ordered the Margherita Pizza, which was okay, but when I asked for oregano, I had to speak to three people before it was brought to me. My spouse wasn't too happy with his Chicken Parm Sandwich......cole slaw was in it (odd), but no sauce anywhere. Too many other better restaurants in the area ..we certainly will not be returning here.

We were here because we were staying at the Hotel Zoe. The restaurant was recommended to us by the hotel. We all had pasta and it was wonderful, the seafood was fresh and delicious. I ordered the pasta Bolognese and was surprised - it was probably the best Bolognese I've ever had. According to our waiter José, everything is freshly prepared by hand in the restaurant, which you can really taste. Big shoutout to José: after this amazing meal, he recommended another restaurant where we could eat amazing tiramisu. If it had been on the menu at Pescatore, we would have loved to order it there.

Dinner and service was great! Our meals were well prepared. I had chicken pramigiana and my wife has a steak. Both were prepared excellently and very tasting. We couldn't find a wine to our liking after trying a few and our waiter ensure we weren't charged for the bottles. Superb service

Off the beaten path of Fisherman's Wharf, this is a unique restaurant located in the corner of an eclectic hotel just a block away from all the wharf activity and crowds. Since it is not a large space, it is pleasantly on the quiet side even though tables are close to one another. It has a very classic bar adjacent to the kitchen prep area where you can watch meals being prepared along with a very colorful pizza oven. Staff is very professional and friendly. Food enjoyable-but missed having sourdough bread, only focaccia available. The Fog City cocktail was a surprise-popping the bubble top a fog like mist appeared -nice touch and very San Fransisco! This place is definitely worth a visit.

Loved this place. So welcoming and the food was great. We fell in love with out waiter Ricardo who made us want to come back everyday. He was awesome and attentive but yet so friendly and personable. Thank you Ricardo! You made our breakfast special for my wife and two kids amigo.

The service is great, friendly people who smile and (seem to) like their job. The food is very good and relatively affordable

Okay, don't expect an Italian restaurant. Although there are typical Picts. But the quality of the raw materials and dishes is excellent. In addition, the courtesy of the staff and the cleanliness of the room are other strengths. Excellent cioppino and mixed fried. Pizza almost like in Italy. Price in line with the area.

If I could give the service 7 stars I would give it 8!!! May is by far the best bartender/server I have ever had!!!

Stop looking at other places to eat, and eat here. You will NOT regret it. This place is absolutely amazing. The pizza, the pasta (dear Heavenly Father that Chicken Parmesan is to DIE for), chips and fish. It was all amazing. The staff is truly incredible and made the whole experience.

Ricardo and Rene are amazing! Great service! The breakfast was delicious and the portions were very generous!

Great service by May, and the food was very good. We enjoyed it during our holidays in San Francisco

Food was lovely. Had the pasta which was outstanding. Staff were helpful, we stayed in the hotel Zoe attached which was perfect location, lovely room and helpful staff.

We were greeted and seated right away. Our food was delicious. Our waiter (Ryan) was attentive and responsive. We have been coming to Pescatore whenever we have come to San Francisco for years. Always a good ecperience.

Having just got to SF from Australian we were 2 weary travellers.Staying at ZoeHotel for (3 nights)so was the easy choice. We dined on 20th Jan and I can’t remember the waiters name (wearing glasses) but him and Jose were exactly what we needed. Such a ball of energy, happy and enthusiastic and very welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, so good we went back on the last night and ordered the same thing! Mash potatoes beautiful. Jose was there again and still being and absolute pleasure and remembered us from the last visit

Over, over priced food and drinks! The restaurant has very limited selection of beers. The bartenders are very friendly but have limited selections of cocktails

Rene was amazing! Great, friendly service and food was fantastic. It felt like home! We had breakfast and lunch at the Prescatore while staying at the hotel.

May is an amazing bartender/server. Super attentive , and super nice. Very nice to experience for a few out of town travelers. We’ll be back here to visit her again this trip!

Celebrated my birthday in San Francisco and stayed at Zoey Hotel. Had breaklfast here and was surprised with bubbly for the table. Then went back for a pizza dinner. Ryan was our server and again treated with a wonderful dessert. Wonderful service and Great food! Thank you Peacatore!!

Wanted Italian and this place popped up on the map. Nice variety on the menu. Osso buco. Cioppino. Chicken Marsala. Prices were reasonable for a restaurant in the City.

Food was good . We had the grilled salmon and the seafood linguine. We had the pancetta for dessert and an americano . All good. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Absolutely wonderful to experience. The food-fantastic. The server, Jose- simply amazing. Knowledge, friendly , welcoming. Highly advise dining if your every in San Francisco.

Ricardo was so amazing and so kind with me and my daughter he is also very educated ,very professional

What a find! A four minute walk from Hotel Zephyr. Jose is a master at making us feel comfortable in the restaurant. Menu is not exhaustive but touches on all bases. Three chefs keeping busy in the open kitchen. Tv was showing a sports channel but pleasant music was piping through the restaurant. Plates were nice and warm and the food ?? These chefs know what they are doing. Dinner was a perfect portion and it was absolutely delicious. I would have licked the plate clean!! We chose to share a dessert of panna cotta & it was presented with great care and attention to detail. Knockout!

This pizza and basic ‘Italian’ food restaurant is pleasant enough. The food is good and drinks too except it’s just hideous value for money. 2 x basic pizzas, 1 wine and 2 draught beers is $96. Sorry that is just obscene and really poor value for money.

Ryan has been the waiter when I have came to Pescatore for breakfast and dinner. Food has been wonderful along with service

We were staying in the hotel, so we stopped in for a delicious dinner after a day on the town. The food and service was fantastic. Jose was attentive and friendly, the pasta was also wonderful. Good wine options too!

Very good service, nice ambiance and amazing food. I’ m here for one night only but I recommend it to anyone coming to SA. Thanks Ryan !

We had an absolute lovely time at Pecatore. Delicious fresh seafood and pasta. And the PIZZA!!!! So so good. Crispy crust. I had the meat lovers pizza and it was perfect!! We had the pear bread pudding and it was scrumptious. The service was EXCELLENT. the waiters were so attentive and friendly.

This is a great spot to go for a great Italian dinner. The workers are sweethearts and you can never go wrong with the recommendations. Please consider coming to this wonderful restaurant.

Tourista 1 hour after leaving Pasta Bolognese Probably problem with ground meat So if you have the same experience go ahead

May was phenomenal, friendly, attentive and also above all made it a wholesome meal! She made sure we had our drinks filled and the food was delicious! Would highly recommend to a friend to come and ask for May as a server.

Best restaurant I've ever visited in the USA, excellent service and fair prices, and the food is extremely tasty and of high quality! I went back one more day, because I couldn't resist the flavors of Pescatore!

Average restaurant, took 3 pizzas and a pasta with clams. Nothing exceptional. High prices, attentive and kind staff.

I went on a solo weekend trip to San Francisco, and I visited Pescatore quite a few times over a couple of days. (The hotel that it’s located in, Hotel Zoe, is also awesome) All of the staff are so welcoming, and a special thanks to both Sara and Katie for making my experience so awesome. The food and drinks are also top-notch. 10/10!

The ambience of this restaurant was appealing. The service was friendly and attentive. The bruschetta was quite appealing. The penne arrabiata lived up to its name with its spiciness. The pizza bianca was satisfactory overall. Overall, the kitchen performance was satisfactory. However, the simple rose was clearly too expensive at $56.

Thanks Jose for friendly, attentive service! The Caprese salad was especially fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend.

100% recommend the Fruit Di Mare pasta. My wife and I had a great experience enjoying the food and the friendly/family environment

Great good and drinks. Service staff are very good. The pasta dish was delicious. Homemade pasta and everything made fresh and from scratch. My cousin from Europe had the Pasta Bolognese and said it was the best she had, ever. Desserts are seasonal, so don’t expect getting a certain dessert. I would go back every night if I could.

The food was amazing and José was extremely nice. We completely recommend that place! Perfect for groups too.

We stayed at Hotel Zoe and despite so many other bars around Fisherman’s Wharf, we made this bar / restaurant our preferred base for our few days in San Francisco. This was not just motivated by an amazing happy hour for afternoon drinks (3pm - 5pm) but mainly for the amazing team of the brilliant manager Ryan, supported by the very lovely Melody and Chloe, what a fabulous team and very welcoming - go there!

Fantastic service by Ryan. The corn and clam chowder and the Salmon and risotto were both tasty! :))

Went for dinner with the family while staying in a local hotel. Nice atmosphere and great service - but the food was really disappointing. We’d chosen pizzas and pasta, so should be straight-forward - but weird flavours and badly executed. Such a shame. Not cheap either.

Ryan is probably one of the best waiters we’ve ever had. His ability to serve us was top notch. Always there right when needed and not overbearing. The food was delicious and served quickly. We dined here twice while staying at Zoe .. Would definitely recommend!!

We stayed 2 nights in this restaurant and had a great time. The friendliness, sympathy and kindness of the waiter were excellent. Even the good food. Noo we had both pasta and pizza Margherita. Great seller and very pleasant as a person. Absolutely recommended. Prices are pretty high, but alas all of California is

We were pleasantly surprised by the higher than expected quality of food at Pescatore. We ate both a dinner and breakfast here and both were very good. The fried calamari was especially noteworthy with a thin batter, fresh taste and mixed with some shrimp and onion straws. The Italian sausage pizza had a thin crisp crust and the cheese chewy and tasty. We did the cinnamon French toast with strawberries and cream for breakfast. Princes were moderate for SF waterfront area and service with special shout out for Jose timely and friendly.

We stayed at the Zoe hotel for one night and decided to have a drink and snack at the local restaurant. As a restaurant owner, many times over, I have to say… this place is nice. The food and menu - simple. organised, tasty! But…… the main effort was had by meeting the hostess, the most wonderful girl named Nina is worth coming here)))) From meeting us at the door, taking orders, asking about our one day in San Francisco… to getting drink orders, clearing plates… going the extra mile when the server or bar was busy!!! Anyway… only for her would I visit this place again)) she has soul))) I hope that all the staff know how lucky they are that Nina has their backs)))

Nice restaurant with focus on fish food. The food was very good and the service impeccable. They have Happy hour both on food and drinks between cl. 15 and 17, and this is a good offer. The fishing tacos were great.

Great food and service. Jose`and Ryan make the best Old Fashioned drinks. Hopefully, make it back here next year.

Check your bill. We were a party of 4, had a standard rice dish a standard chicken dish and 2 pizzas and a couple of drink total food bill came to $296.00 by far the most expensive meal and bill of our time in San Francisco. The food was ok but nothing special. When we challenged the charges, we got told that was the taxes and everyone pays it! We paid and left however after speaking to various people afterwards, we discovered that we were overcharge by $20. So please check your bill or eat somewhere else.

I'm a solo female traveller (for business), and I never feel out-of-place or awkward at Cafe Pescatore. The staff are friendly, professional, and personable. I particularly like a young wait-person named May, who goes out of her way to greet me, chat just the right amount, and provides excellent service. The food is good, the wine choices are appropriate (you're not here for wine tasting, just for a decent merlot or pinot grigio to compliment your meal), and the prices are comparable to other area restaurants - neither stunningly low nor crazily high. If you want to sit quietly and read, or would rather cozy up to the bar and watch the game on 1 of 2 screens, just let the staff know when they seat you! Drinks are available to take into the adjacent hotel lobby or up to your hotel room. I had dinner in Cafe Pescatore five evenings out of nine on my recent business trip!

A nice cozy restaurant right by fisherman’s wharf, we came here because we wanted a nice sit-down meal after our day in the city. Given the location, I felt prices were reasonable and comparable to all the other touristy places in the area. The ambience was perfect, it was busy but did not feel stuffy and overcrowded; wait staff did an excellent job of making sure we were well-situated despite it being a full house on a Tuesday night. Ordered the calamari fritti, pizza bianca , grilled salmon and steak. Everything tasted great, really enjoyed the caramelized onions and mushrooms on the pizza and my steak was cooked perfectly! I especially enjoyed the open kitchen, where we could see the back of house staff prepare all of our food and watch our pizza come straight out of the oven and onto our table. Kudos to the chef! We will definitely be back if we are in the area.

Good service. Good food. Consistent. Flavors and textures are comforting which is exactly what I want.

Good pizzas and burgers. Deserts good. Good wine selection. Went back the next night as well. Have TV'S but no prime. Service is great.

A good Italian restaurant but very expensive. Like all restaurants in San Francisco. We took 1 dish each at 3. Note 80$!

Lovely place for brunch, especially early on a Sunday! Friendly and prompt service; Ryan was a delight. Great start to my day.

Excellent service lovely restaurant staff are lovely Jose was very helpful would recommend this restaurant its is up away from the front bars x

Better food than normal tourist fisherman's wharf offerings at a bit so inflated price. Service was a tad slow and inconsistent but staff was helpful and friendly and these days, I feel for places who need more staff so, I was happy to wait. Would definitely go back.

Very nice place close to Pier 39 Excellent selection of food and wine Friendly and relaxed staff We went there twice for dinner José really pampered us (thank You) Absolutely recommendable

Food is ok, very heavy - pretty American, not Italian at all. Service is not good (they forgot our drinks, a second plate, no extras kids menu). Restaurant is super loud. Atmosphere hectic. We wanted to celebrate a birthday, but we all left early, because nobody felt comfortable.

Great food, friendly and attentive staff. Close to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier to take a stroll. Also attached to Hotel Zoe where they will give you a daily credit when you dine.

We had the asparagus and pickled onion with goat cheese salad and margaritas. Great service and delicious food and drinks!

We we’re staying at Hotel Zoe and Pescatore is the restaurant for the hotel. We enjoyed the food the portions were very generous. The menu is limited but has a selection that was good. Our server was Sara who was amazing and attentive.

I came here with my friends, while we were on a trip in SF. We found this place randomly, and it was a perfect choise! I ate alfredo with chicken and it was so tasty and delicious ! 10/10 I need to mention the service that was so passionate about what they do. Jose T and Nina did a great job, they are dream team! Those two, food , music and atmosphere in the kitchen while preparing food made me feel like we are in some family business made of joy and happines ! Great job ! I will defenetely come back !

We enjoyed a few dinners at Pescatore as it was located in our hotel. Delicious meals and excellent service! Open for breakfast as well as dinner.

Veal Marsala, Meat Lovers pizza and Jose’s attention were spectacular!! Delicious meals and awesome attendance!!

There was good service friendly service the place was perfect a dinner party I strongly recommend this place For any event

Excellent service, extremely friendly and customer oriented. We were so impressed that we only spent the evenings in San Francisco at the Pescatore. Two waitresses were outstanding: Ryan and May. We were always happy when we were served by one of these people.

food was fantastic, service by Josè T. was even better! highly recommend for first time tourists coming to CA!

Wow, just wow. I was so impressed with the service and wonderful food from Pescatore. My husband and I had been finding it difficult to find a beautiful restaurant, happy to say we found it! A special thank you to José for the outstanding service, we will be back. Thank you

We are in town for the Golden Gate Half Marathon and are staying at the Hotel Zoe. I made reservations here for convenience and carbs. What we experienced was so much more! First, we started with two fantsdtic cocktails. Then, we discovered the food was incredible. We started with the bruschetta. It was fresh, delicious and was served with balsamic, which is a bonus. Our pasta dishes were some of the best we've ever had. The potions were huge and I couldn't even finish mine. The bread was insane as well! Our server, Jose, was OUTSTANDING. In fact, he might be the best sever we've ever had. He was so friendly and enthusiastic. He offered suggestions about the food without being asked and he suggested an incredible bottle of wine to accompany our meal. Our wine glasses were never empty (and neither were our water glasses). We would come back just because of Jose alone. This restaurant is one of the best dining experiences we've ever had in San Francisco. I couldn't recommend it more!

Rene was fantastic. He recommended the Breakfast toast. It was delicious! The place is clean, the service is fantastic and the food is hot, within time, and tasty!

The linguine marinara was the best I have ever had - it was so fresh! José provided excellent table service

May made one of the best old fashions I have ever had. It really was well balanced and had flutters of interesting flavour. Lol I tried to beg her for her recipe but was told lol I’d have to enjoy it on my next flight. Lol 😂 thank you May for a wonderful drink.

Great food and outstanding service. Thank you Ryan for making our kids feel welcome and a great overall experience

US$142 for 2 pizzas and 3 glasses of average wine. Pizzas were nice enough but this meal was far too expensive. Would definitely not recommend it because of the price.

Excellent freshly cooked food & exceptional friendly service. We stayed at RIU Plaza across the street & visited 3 out of 5 nights as we enjoyed it so much. The restaurant is intimate with a great atmosphere, the staff are really friendly and attentive. The food is cooked in front of you, and delivered promptly, hot & fresh. We had crab cakes, pizza and salads and all were tasty & good portion sizes. Great for sharing!

Good food. The service was outstanding. Katie was very nice to us. She went over and about the call of duty.

I was walking by and decided to stop by. Great service and good deals for happy hour. Good atmosphere to relax and enjoy.

Food is always a ten out of ten, the staff is always so welcoming and friendly. Make sure you try the grilled salmon(fire)🔥

We had a fantastic meal for Breakfast and Dinner at Pescatore with Brian as our server - Amazing food and top quality service - highly recommend!

Visited a few times during our recent trip to San Francisco. Ryan and others there made us most welcome. Some nights we just had the freshly made pizza and others we had the Salmon and Cod. The crispy chicken with whipped potatoes in a Marsala sauce was a special dish. We had excellent food. Thanks for your cuisine and service during our stay.
