Valencia Pizza Pasta - San Francisco

The staff is fantastic, but the chef seems to have misplaced his priorities when it comes to food service. He prioritized DoorDash and takeout orders over customers who were dining in, often favoring people he recognized. As a result, some diners waited up to 40 minutes for their meals while the kitchen overlooked those present in the restaurant. One regular received their food despite arriving after seven other waiting customers. Additionally, newcomers who arrived later were offered free food to compensate for the wait, while those who had been waiting received nothing.

I have been frequenting this place for almost 20 years. The chef is consistent and kind. The wait staff has always been polite and efficient. The menu has changed quite a bit over the years, but was told by staff that you can order whatever you want, and as long as they have the ingredients, they will make it. I have always loved their chicken Piccata. It is a huge portion with two large pieces of chicken, perfectly cooked veggies, and your choice of pasta, or potato, served with a generous and ingredient packed salad. The prices are extremely fair, especially considering the hip location. Their breakfasts are also fantastic. They have done some remodeling, but kept it simple. They have an updated and clean more spacious bathroom. I definitely recommend supporting this old school long standing small business.

Great food at a reasonable price. I tried the fried catfish sandwich, and it was delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. We dine here 2 to 3 times a month, and it’s consistently excellent!

The food was really good, we ordered the chicken pesto sandwich and the pasta alfredo. Tasty!!!!!

The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding! We had the fettuccine alfredo, and it was simply exceptional. The portions were quite generous as well, allowing us to take home some leftovers.
