It was SF’s summer in October and we wanted to enjoy the SF weather. I have enjoyed their SOMA location (loved it) so thought we should try this new location also. Love it too!!

We had
- Cauliflower Salad
- Potato Pinsa (could not find it on the menu so I hope I did not imagine it)

Both were delicious. We will be back to this neighborhood place.

Amazing Italian place.
Fantastic Food and great service.
The Manager Nick and all the staff are so welcoming and helpful.
All of our dishes were delightful and satisfying.
Highly recommended.

A lil gem in the Marina, Montesacro has really transported peculiar Roman cuisine to the area. With such a varied menu, while still holding on to their roots, Montesacro offers an array of deliciousness. We went here for dinner and were warmly welcomed by their manager Nick, he is an absolute delight to talk to and shared some of his experiences and recommendations. I had their lychee martini and was completely blown off by the amazing hues of lychee, citrus, and spirits, all mixed together to make a perfect concoction. One can definitely go here just for this drink and a pinsa, and your eve is set. It's that good of a drink! I also tried their bergamot gimlet, the tantalizing flavors of secco and italicus bergamot makes this drink unforgettable. I was very impressed to get 2 back to back amazing cocktails. We skipped starters and went for the tormaramcio to accompany our drinks. I can't praise this pinsa enough. It had just the perfect cloud-like crust. It wasn't doughy or too heavy. The piquant taste of the soppressata mixed with cheese and a light tomato sauce and basil makes up for a delightful flavor that will linger on for a while. I highly recommend the tormaramcio pinsa and can't wait to try the other pinsas on their menu. The quantity too is very impressive, and it can be split between 3 or 4 as an appetizer as well. For the main course, we ordered the cacio e pepe and lamb. One of the best cacio e pepe I've had, cheesy and creamy indulgence to it finest. The lamb had a burst of flavors, and even though we ordered well done, it was very succulent and not chewy at all. I wish the quantity was more, as i couldn't have enough of it. I will surely be going back to try other items from their menu and the cocktails. They are a definite 5/5.

Wonderful meal, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. They were able to make a simple vegetarian red / pomodoro pasta for us that was incredible, and the cacio e pepe was delicious. Bread was good but wish it had been warm. The fried risotto balls with smoky mozzarella was good but it would've been better had they been on a bed of red sauce (like the one in our pasta!) - they were just a little too dry. Olive oil and the chili olive oil were both so delicious with a great flavor. Amazing time and would love to go back!
