What Diners Say

★★★★★ Alison M C 6 months ago

Incredible pasta dishes--fresh and light and lovely. I had the truffle gnocchi, the homemade sausage rigatoni and the mushroom agnolotti. Next time I'd skip salad and desserts and just order double the amount of pasta. It's that good. Owner is a friendly, funny guy. Bill came out exactly right. Can'...

★★★★★ "We came to Il Cilentano Pasta Bar four years ago and had such a great experience that we had to come back — and it’s still just as amazing! My daughter loves their gnocchi, it’s perfectly soft and full of flavor. The pizza, fresh bread, and appetizers were all delicious too.

We both got the spaghetti carbonara. It was very weird and neither of us liked the sauce. It was not egg flavored at all it was just too much pepper. Bacon did taste really fresh but would never come back here so not worth it.

★★★★★ Alex Marzouca 10 months ago

Just a lovely place to get dinner. It’s all home made and santo is a lovely person. This is my go to spot for pasta in San Francisco. Could not recommend it enough. Fair prices and amazing dessert.

★★★★ "Il cilentano has one glistening trait that helps it stand out against just about anywhere else in SF: it’s one of the few spots open late while still offering table service. Paired with some solid Italian pasta, and it makes for the perfect late-night eat.
