    I'm a huge fan of Cesario's but I thunk I ordered the wwrong thing this time. I usually have the lobster vaioli which weren't on the specials this evening so i had eggplant parm. Somewhat meh but that doesn't mean other thing on the menu aren't wonderful! Service was VERY accommodating as we asked to have the check split very strangely.

    Discovered this quaint neighborhood Italian restaurant several months ago while in the city for business and made it my mission to return whenever I visit San Francisco. It is the only restaurant I have ever found that serves Conchiglie Gorgonzola; my favorite pasta dish.

    Friends and I did a pre-theatre dinner at Cesario’s. Perfect spot. Great food, friendly service and a short walk to the theatres on Geary St.

    Cesario's can not be trusted! We had dinner on Saturday evening, and when I just happened to check my credit card charges on Sunday I WAS CHARGED 3 TIMES for the same meal. Additionally, when I talked to the owner, Alex, there was NO APOLOGY, and he told me to call his credit card processing company (NO NAME) and talk to Jeff!!! The food is not worth this hassle and aggravation!!!! There are far better options! Check your wallet when you leave this restaurant!

    First time dining here. Very good food and service. Close tables and full restaurant (very good for them) lends for it being a tiny bit loud. Would definitely dine there again.
