    Sea Bass was not great but everything else was very good. The ravioli 5 stars. The pork ribs delicious. The passion fruit chocolate torte amazing. I guess I would skip Fish dishes here. Also keep to the wine or beer. The cocktails were OK, nothing spectacular.

    $105.00 for a small salad, soup, two pasta dishes and one glass of wine. You could spend a small fortune in this place. Typical San Francisco value restaurant. 5% mandatory fee added to bill. Pasta was OK. Portions were very small. Ambiance and service were good.

    Ate there Friday (Feb 1 - (pizza) and it was very good. So good we came back Feb 3 for dinner/pasta. Spaghetti Siciliana and the Tagliatelle were both bordering on tasteless, (spaghetti was steaming, yet, 1/2 a bite was hot, the other 1/2 cool). The simple cheese flatbread ($24) was so simple it needed red pepper flakes to enable some degree of taste. Have never written a Review such as this, but a highly-regarded Restaurant such as Cotogna missed the mark on this particular evening.

    My favorite restaurant in San Francisco... hands down. Unpretentious, welcoming, unparalleled dishes, attentive service, and a warm and inviting atmosphere are Cotogna’s top ingredients.

    Often visited and always enjoyable although this time ...i found the chicory salad dressing a bit strange between citrus and olive somewhat fighting The beet and cheese “caprese” was stunning and wonderful The single raviolo which is always a favorite had a clearly overcooked egg. It was a late reservation(10:30) so it could have been a slightly tired kitchen. Certainly wont home me back from making it a destination again
