The oldest Italian restaurant in America! If nothing this place deserves 5 stars for remaining as an institution. But that should not mean the food is mediocre. Far from that, I've had the best veal dishes (marsala & picatta) and home made pastas at this place. Service is professional yet friendly.
I got to meet Chef Gianni during my last dinner who gave us some great wine recommendations.
Place is decorated with some of the greatest b/w pictures from the early 1900's reflecting the history of San Francisco and that era.
Fior d'Italia is definitely on top of my list for authentic Italian food!

Fior D'Italia was fabulous! The decor is beautiful and the staff is friendly and welcoming, makes you feel like home. The food is one of the best italian I've eaten, I loved the cheese tortellini that was served before the main dish. I had a filet migon, it was tasty, cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. My husband had veal and loved it. We can't wait to go back again.

First, the Fior d?Italia made us a great offer. For an additional $6 they let you turn your entree into a four course Italian feast. They gave us soup, salad and dessert for $6. Wow. Even without that our experience at Fior d?Italia was the best ever. Our waitress was so professional and helpful. Service was extraordinary and the food superb! What a great night that reminds you of what dining and service used to be in San Francisco. Too many times now we have been disappointed with ?yuppie? food and a server who wants only to be our friend- ?hi I?m Sally I?ll be taking care of you tonight?. Sound familiar? The Fior is real they really do take care of you. The best in SF in our opinion.

The food was below average at best. Wait staff was slow,slow,slow!
Calimari was rubber like, lasagna seemed right out of the frozen food section of your grocery store and served luke warm. This was the only place I was charged a 2% fee to subsidize their health insurance costs??? whats up with that! The waiter showed me the menu that explains this "fee" on your bill.
I would not recomend this restaurant.

Stopped by with no reservation on a Sunday night. We were dressed way too casual for this place (shorts and flip flops) so we asked to sit out front which they gladly allowed. It was a really nice night. Service out front was a little slow and I found myself constantly searching for the waiter, but when he was around his service was excellent. The table top was filthy and I would not let the silverware touch it. We started with a Caesar salad for two which was good, but unimpressive. I feel like I've had better Caesars at a chain like Carrabba's. I had a pasta dish with a pesto sauce which was good, but with so much sauce I felt like I was eating soup towards the bottom of the bowl. My companion had the fettuccine with meat sauce which was good even if it reminded me of Chef Boyardee. The food tasted good and was definitely fresh, but when I saw the $50 check for our meal I realized I would not be back. Considering we had two salads and a bowl of pasta and water to drink, I can hardly justify $25 each.
