Stopped in for lunch, just around the corner of our hotel. This place has both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for one of their advertised specials, Meatballs Arrabbiata. Big well flavored meatballs in a fantastic slightly spicy marinara. My cheese stuffed ravioli were equally delicious, as was my spouse's bacon wrapped prawns. All very fresh and well made food. Our server, Tim, was friendly and attentive. Nice location at the Wharf. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful meal at Cioppino's. The clam chowder served with classic Boudin sourdough was a wonderfully comforting treat, and the fettuccine was also very good. If you are not sure what to get, go with the chef's recommendations, they are excellent choices. Besides the delicious food, their service was excellent too!

This is a great little outdoor dining experience Italian cuisine. Wait staff was very professional. Restrooms very clean. Food moderately priced but worth it every bit. Would recommend their signature dish. It is for two. Very delicious. This is a great experience, I would return every day if I could.

Visited Cioppino’s for a work dinner and had a really great experience. The restaurant is conveniently located in the North Beach area, which makes it easy to get to and perfect if you’re exploring that part of the city. The decor and atmosphere give off a classic Italian aesthetic — warm, inviting, and perfect for a nice dinner setting. The staff were amazing throughout the night, attentive and genuinely welcoming. We had a prix fixe menu for our group and everything was delicious. The pacing was great and it made the whole experience feel seamless for a larger party. Highly recommend this spot, especially if you’re planning a group dinner or special occasion
