My mouth is watering for those crostini neri! I recently spent a month in Arezzo studying the language-I love it there and can’t wait to return.

I think the kitchen is warming up- they will be up to fabulous speed by the end of the summer, and the gnocchi, I am sure, will be phenomenal!! Alas, we shared a bottle of Refosco instead of trying the super-celebrated cocktails… but I go with Joe, isn’t this a perfect excuse to go back?
Amy, can you tell me more about your experience at Antica Trattoria? Best gnocchi outside of Italy is an argument hard to resist!!

Beretta is a great little neighborhood spot with original and tasty cocktails and great Italian food. It’s a perfect spot to meet friends for drinks and a casual bite to eat…

The food at Beretta is phenomenal and you’d be hard pressed to find a better cocktail in San Francisco. I can’t wait to go back.

Thanks for the detailed review. I like it better than MB’s! Of course, he’s not Italian. Sorry to hear the gnocchi were no good. I would have been tempted to try them since the ones at Antica Trattoria are amazing. The best I’ve had outside of Italy.
