Tommaso Ristorante Italiano

1042 Kearny St
(between Nottingham Pl & Pacific Ave)
San Francisco, CA 94133

Occasion: I have been wanting to give this place a try, its somewhat in the neighborhood and we were hungry. Friday night dinner dates!

Half spaghetti and half ravioli in marinera sauce
The sauce is really as good as they say it is. It was very tasty, not too sour, not too sweet. The spaghetti noodles are a bit on the less cooked side. I suppose that's how its really supposed to be made, they're not meant to be super soft and mushy. The ravioli was really good and filled with deliciousness. Serving is quite decieving though. It looks like its decent sized portion but as you dig in, you realize there's really not that much in there.
Vegetarian Pizza
with bell pepper, green onions, mushrooms, garlic, olives and fresh tomaotes
Since we ordered the beef carpaccio for appetizer and a spaghetti and ravioli dish, we decided to go for a vegetarian pizza. We both really liked the pizza. The veggies made it taste so fresh and the crust was perfect. It is definitely comparable if not better than the pizza I've tried in New York.
Beef Carpaccio
I love carpaccio from vietnamese restaurants especially with the sauce they have. Cilantro, lemon juice, fish sauce, onions. I love it. So when I came here, I knew not to expect nuc mum (fish sauce) with the carpaccio. I was expecting a lot I guess. I thought they over did it with the cheese, there was not enough onions, lacked parsley and lemon juice. But I like how thinly sliced the beef was. I wasn't too impressed with our appetizer, but I still ate it!
