I started going here over a two years ago, when Il Cantuccio was one of the few calm places along Valencia that you could walk into any night of the week. Still calm - yes, walking in - not so fast! Now they are discovered and they deserve it - great service and food value is the order of the day. The pumpkin ravioli is almost too good - I can almost never bring myself to try anything else, because how could it be better? This is a great first-date location - great atmosphere for a nice conversation, amazing food to share, without the Cow Hollow/Marina yuppiness, Downtown starchiness or even Mission trendiness that makes so many other places less than ideal.
Pros: Cozy atmosphere, Tasty food, Friendly servers
Cons: Need reservations, Mission parking
