La Connessa in Potrero Hill is a fantastic Italian spot with a gorgeous, Gatsby-inspired ambiance featuring gold decor and tall ceilings. I went for brunch and loved their breakfast pizza—perfectly topped with two sunny-side-up eggs. The food is delicious, well-presented, and the service is great. I’ll definitely be back for dinner!
The food is absolutely amazing but it's really pricey. I ordered a martini and it basically comes in an apertiff glass and still costs 14. And the pasta dishes are small portions as well. But the service is great and the staff is friendly and the food is really good. But this just isn't a place I'm going to go to that often because of this and it's only a 4 minute drive/20 minute walk from our house. The best bet is get a pizza, those are amazing too. But you need to try it and experience great, fresh, Italian food.
Linda was amazing! Best bartender/server! Linda made our night even more special! Food was sooo good !
Came here with my roommates and had a reservation and got seated right after getting there! Good - Nice staff, and beautiful interior, it's like a diner but upscale - The food was all sooo good we got 6 dishes total including dessert, and they gave us a free ice cream for our roommate's birthday - The polenta fries were amazing - crunchy and not too fried. - The ragu pasta was solid, and the mushroom pizza was larger than expected - super savory and really tasty - The sourdough ice cream was pretty cool, it had breadcrumbs baked into it Bad - Wait for the food can be pretty long Overall we had a great almost 2 hour dinner here and the time flew, the food was great.
We had a team dinner here last night and the food , service was great , place was buzzing and busy . The bar is Soo big and looks great , it was packed. I would come back here and highly recommend this spot. The lemon pasta was great. We tried a bunch of appetizers and everything was yummy.
Late dinner with friends turned into an amazing experience thanks to Destiney, our attentive and humorous server.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The drinks were delicious! The martini came with a little extra on the side too. The pasta was so delicious & fresh. The lemon pasta could have used more lemon but otherwise everything was so good. We also loved the crispy polenta
