"Wonderful home-inspired cooking. . very Italian; Red checkered table cloths add more home-inspiration. Owners are friendly and proud to bring the cooking style from their homeland in Lucca, Italy. Pizza, soup, lasagna were flavorful but light. The chili olive oil is a nice touch too for adding to everything served."

"The food was great, we were seated right away at our reservation time. They did forget our salad, but they gave us a free desert for the wait. Great vibe, the server was very nice. We would definitely go here again!"

"The place is fabu, and about everything we want in an Italian trattoria, including a warm and welcoming Italian family! Nothing slick, calculated, perfectly designed, and/or pseudo-Italian -- simply Mama's home cooking at its best. It's just like being there, but far cheaper than a trip to Italia... A definite recommend; go hungry."

"Stefania makes the best thin crust pies in town. Her pizze are crisp not chewy, topped by fresh quality ingredients. Baonecci also has salads the way I know them from Italy - try the Ortolana - and they make a farro soup like no-one else does. The wines by the glass - try the Barbera or the house-recommended Chianti: Smooth not overtowering they make for perfect companions of the deliciously simple food. Instead, if you're looking for sophisticated, picture-ready plates, don't go there. I've been a regular since when they were open for lunch only and I keep coming back - quality's been persistently good, as has the always friendly service by the entire Gambaccini family."

"We found this gem one year ago and returned back to it on our next trip to SF because we were so impressed. Second visit might have trumped the first! Amazing thin crust pizzas, lovely wine and an amazing family that takes great care of their customers. We will continue this tradition of visiting Baonecci every time we come to SF!"
