Pasquale's Pizzeria San Francisco

Fast, friendly service. No frills, high quality Italian food. Kid and family friendly. Been coming here for decades and the quality has always remained high. Great pizzas. Great pastas. They cook the shrimp in their pasta to perfection!!

We were visiting San Francisco for the first time, and this place was near where we were staying. We had previously been downtown in Little Italy, but due to not finding parking we decided to head back down to the area to get dinner instead. What a fortunate turn of events for us. We were all craving some homemade, simple, REALLY good Italian food. Two of us are vegetarian, so it was a pleasant surprise to see so many options on their menu. One of us ordered the meat lasagna, and they give you a huge slab of it. It was perfect according to the one who ate it. Exactly what he'd been craving all day! Another of us ordered the eggplant sandwich. According to her, it was also excellent! I ordered the eggplant parmesan, which came with penne pasta with marinara sauce, and steamed veggies. The portion of eggplant was generous, cheesy, tomato-y, and all around delicious. I easily could have had leftovers, but I opted to eat the whole thing because...who wants to deal with leftovers on vacation? Also, they serve you fresh sourdough Italian bread. We did order some garlic bread with pesto, which was already amazing in itself. But the bread that they do give you is that kind of special bread that is perfectly toasty, and they give you that really good cold butter in gold wrapping. If I had any criticism, I wish there were more restaurants like this back home in my town! Thank you for the experience, we look forward to visiting again in the future!
