I’ve enjoyed meals here on a number of occasions. If offered, I would bathe in their luscious creamy cheesy polenta. This is the stuff dreams are made of. This is an old school restaurant, you’ll want to plan for a couple hours at least. Cocktail, Appetizer, salad/soup, main course. Good times.

I was excited to go. Ventured to South SF. Had an all around mediocre experience. Will not return as there are so many great italian joints in San Francisco to revisit and explore.

THE FOOD IS VERY GOOD AND THE SERIVE GREAT. THE BREAD WOULD BE BETTER IF WARM, IT WAS COLD. THE SALAD WAS NOT GOOD, COULD NOT FIND THE CREAMY DRESSING AND THERE WERE FEW BEANS ON ONE SMALL SLICE OF TOMATOE. THE GLASS OF HOUSE WINE GOOD, BUT BOWL OF WINE GLASS VERY SMALL. BUT THE MAIN DISHES WERE VERY GOOD AND THE DESERTS WERE VERY GOOD. WE WILL GO BACK MANY TIMES, A VERY GOOD RESTAURANT. PARKING NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

My husband has lived in the Bay Area all his life and remembers eating at Bertolucci’s as a young child, but had not been back in many many years. After seeing a review on Check Please, we decided to check it out. We sat at a large booth in the bar area, which provided a quiet cozy feeling for our meal. Our waitress was very friendly and reccomended some dishes to us. I ordered the Chicken Sodini which is a pounded & grilled chicken breast topped with ham, mozarella cheese, and alfredo sauce. My husband ordered the pepper steak which was a NY strip topped with a peppercorn cream sauce. Both dishes came with vegetables and polenta. Both meals came with soup or salad as a starter, we had the minestrone which we both really liked. We also enjoyed their foccacia bread which is made in-house: soft, buttery, with a nice crisp top. Everything was excellent. The charring on the steak was perfect. The chicken was moist and flavorful. BUT THE POLENTA…..my husband is a chef and NO ONE makes polenta as good as him….until now. It was cheesy, creamy, good form….a little taste of heaven. We paid our compliments to the owner who was very gracious. We highly reccomend this restaurant for Italian/American fare….reasonably priced….our total bill was about $50 (no drinks).

I lived in Boston before moving to the bay area 10 years ago. The first few times I saw Bertolucci’s sign from 101 I thought it was ‘Bertucci’s’ which is a big brick-oven chain on the east coast. I’m happy to read these positive reviews.

I have not tasted the meals yet but the pictures made my mouth water! The tortellini in white sauce will be my choice for dinner. With any luck I will get a hug from the very handsome host!!!
