    We had great service, but everything we ate was just okay. Nothing was outstanding and it wasn't cheap to eat there being on the wharf.

    Only negative thing to say is service is slow once you have your food and drink. We waited 30 mins after our meal to be asked if we wanted dessert or check. And our server did not check in once we had food. My wife and I sat there with nothing to drink during our meal - unacceptable for a place where your going to spend $50+ per person. We get better service at chick fil a.

    The service and food was great. The place was packed with customers and pretty loud, kind of like a BJ’s Brewhouse. We started with steamed clams and shared the cioppino for dinner. The portions were very generous and It was more than enough for the two of us. We’ll be back again!

    If you are looking for a relatively relaxed Italian, with ok food then this would fit. Waiter was attentive, food was overall fairly average, and ultimately geared for the tourist trade of Fisherman’s Wharf.

    Me and my family managed to eat at Cioppino's twice while in San Fransisco. The food was fantastic and tasted really good, service was also top notch, with a very short waiting time for the food. It is recommended to book a table, as they are in high demand and may risk a long wait.

    Waiters were extremely rude with attitude. Not sure why they even work there. They ask what else is needed just to ask. We needed several items like, water or extra plate, but that was too much for them.

    Food was good. Our appetizer never showed up. One of our dinner orders was forgotten, my children’s multiple requests for water were ignored. Once the forgotten dish arrived, it was wrong. Chicken Alfredo but without the chicken…. The servers seemed short handed. It was chaos. Only in town for a couple of days and we don’t plan to return to this place.

    The food was about as good as fast food. It tasted like it was re heated in a microwave. The service was horrible. One person took our order another person brought the food and each one disappeared for the remainder of the meal. We needed more beverages and a spoon to twirl the pasta. We had to get up and ask for both at the bar. Typically the server will come by after the meal is brought to see if we needed anything else. I would never recommend this restaurant.

    The food was ok, pasta was too el dente for me. Overpriced, but expected in that part of town. The service folks were nice but it was very hard to get refills and condiments. They don’t come back after given your meal. Large loud place.

    The most disappointing part was when we arrived. We had specifically requested a table with a view, as we had guests from overseas, and were shown a table near the entrance with no view at all. They admitted that they had not even looked at the reservation before taking us to the unacceptable table. They fixed it, but it should not have been necessary.

    Food and service were excellent. Our server brought us a complimentary dessert because I had indicated that my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary when I made the reservation. My wife thought the cioppino was the best she's had.

    We had the mozzarella cakes appetizer and they were over fried to a burnt crust. It took over 40 minutes to get out main course to us. The seafood risotto was not cooked in stages so the squid was rubbery, I heard other guests make the same complaint. The Cioppino was very good and plentiful with many kinds of seafood.

    We walked into a tourist trap…cioppino was over price for a few pieces of shrimp, clams and half of a (small) crab. The broth tasted like canned tomatoe soup. This restaurant was the biggest disappointment in SFO

    I really enjoyed my meal. I ordered the cheese tortellini which was huge! I had to order a salad as an extra which was good as well. Need to ask for bread as they don’t offer it. Just pricy like everything else in SF.

    Disappointing at best! 50$ for cioppino that was barely enough for a “light” eater and my wife’s Louie warf salad was not worth $30 either. A large group of 16 were boisterously loud near us spoiling our dinner experience even further. We won’t be back!

    Went there for a closing of a deal. The waiter forgot to put in our appetizer order, came back 1 time to ask if we wanted drink refills and we asked for boxes. The waiter cane back to the table to grab the plates, however he PILED them on top of each other....with the food we were going to take home in them. I had to ask him to replace the portions because the food had been exposed to the bottom of the bowls that was on the tables. Was a disappointment.

    I visit Cioppino’s every time I visit The City and always recommend it to anyone who asks me where to get great seafood in San Francisco. The staff is attentive and friendly without being overbearing, and the food is always amazing. I recommend the calamari appetizer. The coating is so light and the meat soft and tender.

    We spent New Years Eve in San Francisco and Cioppino’s was a delight! The food was delicious, the atmosphere busy but controlled and being right on Fisherman’s Wharf there was a great vibe with so many people out and about! The warm sourdough bread was delicious. We had a yummy caprese salad and I had linguine with clams and my husband had the cheese tortellini with crab! We were so stuffed we couldn’t even think about dessert. We will have to try the Cioppino on our next trip!
