We had a wonderful evening at Ofena! Our large group celebrated 5-years of co-founding a neighborhood nonprofit. The Ofena team made this so special! From the festive Schramsberg sparkling rose to the delicious desserts and everything in between, we were delighted. The private room is beautiful and perfect for family or work events.

This was my first brunch at Ofena. The food was fantastic as was the service. Every dish I’ve had there has been delicious and the presentation beautiful. I had Eggs in Purgatory which was very different for me but soooo tasty. I have now been to brunch and dinner and have plans for lunch next week. Can’t wait!

It was my birthday and they were so sweet prepared a little banner by our table and a card. That in of itself made me feel really good about our choice in going to Ofena. The food and drinks were great. We ordered the roasted persimmon for the appetizer which was wonderful. The mix of salty and sweet was great. We got two different mocktails which both were fantastic! For our entree we had the steak and gnocchi. The steak was divine. The gnocchi I found to be a bit salty, but also I’m not too partial to duck (my husband likes it more so that’s why we ordered it). The service was very friendly and attentive. We were seated somewhat seated near their events room and there was a large event happening so it was a bit noisy, but not too bad at all. I liked the holiday cheer that they brought. Overall had a great time at Ofena.

Food and service was excellent, just a little disappointed with the small portion on my rigatoni meal, for $31.00 (which is high for a pasta dish) and get 2 wonderful meatballs but only 4 small slices of Italian sausage (which was more like a tease) over maybe 12 rigatoni seemed overpriced and not enough. I see way they offer MORE rigatoni for another $7.00! That seemed sad for the excellent experience otherwise!

Made reservations to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday. So appreciated that they hung a birthday sign and had a birthday card for her when we arrived. Our server, Francesca, was great. We wanted to try so many things and we were having such a hard time deciding. Francesca provided recommendations after listening to us, and we were so glad we went with her recommendations. Started with the Gnocchi Carbona - gnocchi were light and pillowy soft and that sauce was everything. Next were the Chicken Cotoletta and the Pork Bistecca - both so good and so flavorful. For dessert, we had to go with the Chocolate Tiramisu - not too sweet and a perfect ending to a great meal. We were quite full and satisfied. Service was attentive. We can't wait to return.

Tried Ofena during the SF Restaurant week and I'm glad we did. The vegetarian lasagna was delicious with swiss chard and caramelized onion and the appetizer of roasted persimmons with pesto, maitake mushrooms, pecan and pepato cheese was a creative dish. My husband had the gnocci cabonara with duck which was very rich but a great change as well. It reminds me of a neighborhood gem but a little pricey. Definitely will return.

Visited around opening time during restaurant week and the menu was well worth it. Food and service were both amazing and I highly recommend the strawberry Italian soda. My waiter knew that my partner and I would be sharing the drink and she came out with two straws and cut strawberries! Service was speedy, friendly, and efficient. It was a pleasure dining here for the first time, and I look forward to dining here again.
