Wonderful service! We had a table of 6 and all had our few within 10 minutes of placing our orders. The server was lovely and graciously offered to take a photo of us as we were out for my birthday. Great food! The pizza was delicious and the crust was so crisp and buttery. The brussel sprouts were great as well; all the flavor paired nicely together. The atmosphere was nice and cozy as well.

It's been a staple of the SF eats scene for several years now. Honestly, it was on my list to go to a decade ago (maybe less)? Just never made it out until V-day. The food is excellent. I'm not a veggie eating person but all the veggies sides were absolutely delicious.  Beretta was one of the original places I had in the dine-out rotation, but looks like I gotta add this one too.

If you’re looking for an amazing brunch spot, Starbelly is it! I ordered the Challah French toast, cornbread with jalapeño jam, and deviled eggs, and every bite was mouth-watering. The French toast was perfectly fluffy and rich, the cornbread was warm and buttery with just the right kick from the jalapeño jam, and the deviled eggs were packed with bold, delicious flavor.

To round it all out, I sipped on their top-notch sangria and a delicious cup of coffee, both of which hit the spot. The balance of flavors, quality ingredients, and cozy atmosphere made for an unforgettable meal.

If you're looking for a fantastic brunch spot with incredible food and drinks, Starbelly should be at the top of your list. I can’t wait to go back!

Love this eatery. We had the white bean purée with pita. Flavorful and just enough for an app for 3 people. Butter lettuce salad lightly dressed and super fresh. The burger was stacked a bit high to get my whole mouth around it but without one of the bun halves it fit! The pizza looked good too. No complaints from my lunch partners. They had a cocktail, I had a mocktail with cucumber and basil. It was delicious.

Amazing starters, horrible soups
Yesterday I went there with my family for my grandma’s birthday party. We had big expectations because it was very popular.

We ordered some appetizers and they were very good. The best one of them was small chicken tenders with spicy sauce
They were full of flavor. Then we ordered soups. They looked very tasty but they were cold.we tried them and they were disgusting. we were so disappointed in that moment

The service and the atmosphere were very good. the waiters were fast and helpful. They weren’t greedy for a tip.there was live music playing and everyone started to dance.then some people dressed as burgers came in and also started dancing.

The prices were perfectly reasonable the drinks costed around 6 dollars per person and the food was around 14 dollars
It is a very affordable restaurant.

I was waiting to visit this restaurant,and I am glad I went there.despite the bad soups everything else was delicious.overall experience was fantastic the burgers made me laugh. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
