Excluding the past eight years since I moved to Massachusetts, I have been visiting Tommaso's my entire life. Tonight, I was there for the first time with my husband and my almost two-year-old daughter. When I say I've been going my whole life, I'm serious: my mom asked Carmen if she remembered me at this age, and she said yes. While my daughter wandered around the restaurant, greeting everyone, we reminisced about how I used to do the same thing. My husband remarked that Tommaso's is the kind of place where children learn to behave in restaurants. They are surrounded by caring people, in a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the food is amazing. Although I felt a bit anxious about my daughter...

I started my meal with a Caesar salad and some toasted garlic bread. The salad was just what I expected, while the garlic bread was freshly made, boasting a delightful aroma and flavor. For my first dish, I ordered a combination of half spaghetti and half ravioli, followed by a mouthwatering clam, garlic, and pesto pizza.
The pizza truly impressed me with its thin crust loaded with clams — the balance of flavors was exceptional, something I don’t say often about pizza.
**Pros:**
- Thin-crust, wood-fired pizza — a definite yes!
- The Caesar dressing is above average and bursting with flavor.
- The service was quick and attentive.
**Cons:**
- Located in a less desirable part of town...
As a professional tour guide, I highly recommend Tommaso’s to everyone. It is one of the top Italian restaurants in the city, and with the oldest wood-fired brick oven in California, it holds a significant place in history as well. I have been a patron for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. The food and wine offerings are exceptional. I suggest trying their delicious Spinach Pizza, perfectly cooked Asparagus, outstanding Lasagna, and decadent Tiramisu. The service is warm and friendly, making you feel like a guest at an Italian family dinner. Carmen, Agostino, Anna, and the whole staff are incredibly kind, adding to the overall charm of the restaurant. Recently, I dined outside...
Amazingly good wood fired brick oven pizza. I have never tried any other dishes because the pizza is just that good. Can't help but get it every time. I live in Pleasant Hill and will drive to sf for no purpose other than to get their pizza. In the top 3 of best pizzas I ever had and am an 80's kid so have had my fair share of pizza. If you haven't tried it I suggest you do. Read an article saying they are looking to retire so trying to find the right owner to pass the torch. Wish I could afford to buy and fill those shoes for them.

This restaurant offers an authentic Italian experience, complete with charming vintage European decor. The food was quite good; we sampled the pesto ravioli and shrimp pasta in alfredo sauce. Both dishes were perfectly seasoned and the portion sizes were just right for one person. The bread was pretty average but improved with olive oil and vinegar. Overall, a lovely dining experience!
Tommaso's Ristorante Italiano in San Francisco is a true gem! From the moment you step inside, you're transported to the heart of Italy. The authentic flavors of their dishes are simply exquisite, and the homemade pasta is a must-try. The warm and welcoming atmosphere coupled with impeccable service makes every visit a memorable experience. Buon appetito!
This was our first time for neopolotian style. It was delicious! I had the veal picante, the best I have had. My wife had the spaghetti Mariana with meat balls. The meatballs were perfectly seasoned. I asked what the seasoning was but sworn to secrecy. We will be back.
