Been going there forever. Please don't close. The food is fantabulous mmmmmmm good.

A friend who does dinners there for his non-profit group said that the owner is financially stressed. since they (finally!) Started accepting credit cards, the fees they take cut into his profits. The restaurant business is brutal in SF. In this low carb, gluten free, advocado toast city, I hope there's still room for an old school Italian place like the Sausage Factory!

do you have a full bar

I dont think so... if so, it must be very small because I don't recall ever seeing it.

Are you open Monday, 11/19

I had the sausage and broccoli rabe - it was delicious. Cosy place with very attentive service. Highly recommend if you want a real Italian experience.My wife and I had dinner here 3 nights after the first visit and everything was perfect & only wish we had more days in San Francisco to explore more of the menu items 🙂👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺

I lived in SF for 20 years before going to this Castro classic. Big portions of middle American Italian classics like Veal parmesean and pastas with a variety of sauce options. The mama salad, with real iceberg lettuce, is like a pre chopped Italian chop for the table.

Some of the best Italian food I've ever had. I had gone with my friends at night and it was pretty quiet, so not too sure about the day time but the food was delicious and all the staff that greeted us very kind and considerate of our questions and well. The layout and structure of the restaurant was rustic and overall not too bad of a price. Definitely worth the money you pay for!!

Since new ownership, this Castro legend seems to be on the up-swing. Great service, tasty food, and a great menu. Chicken parm is my favorite!

Always a good meal in a cozy, comfortable, old world setting. Friendly staff also keeps you smiling with good humor. Traditional Italian dishes and fantastic pizza. Mama's salad is a must for sharing.

Incredibly mediocre food that I seriously worried if it was even safe. Out of 3 folks not one of us liked any of our dishes or the appetizers. Decor and food looked like it was from the 80's. Food was drenched in sauces or overcooked and dry. Service was only bright spot, we had a great waitress.

Food was ok but was not impressed with the Italian waitress. She has the potential to exercise Italian charm but fails by crossing the line into rudeness. She put her hand up in my face whilst I was trying to say something - a BIG 'no no'. Won't go back.

Engaged here!! Everything was wonderful and I had the A La Vodka and that was a-mazing. The atmosphere was busy in the front and comfortable in the back, would love go back and eat 2 plates.

I will say that the Staff is excellent! The atmosphere is absolutely charming! Everyone was super friendly! If only the spaghetti was good...I ordered a simple dish of noodles with spaghetti sauce. It was just that... simple. It lacked much flavor and was on the smaller side of portion (especially for the price). I was with a large group (which the restaurant is not capable of seating because of space). Our service was fast, the drinks were wonderful and we got our food in a very timely manner! Other dishes seemed to be larger and more appealing, but don't go simple or that is exactly what you will get. I was still hungry when I left. I make a much better spaghetti at home and for a fraction of the cost.

Thought after several years we would give it another try. Poor quality food, I can't believe people actually like this. Ravioli are lousy. Costco has better frozen ravioli. Sauce was worse than Ragu. Where can I find a decent meal in the Castro?

Delicious, fresh food and great ambiance. This is a very small restaurant with a small(ish) menu so we were impressed by the chef's positive attitude when someone asked for a pizza with no red sauce and no cheese. The cheese plate was incredible, definitely will go back just for that!

Thought they were closing down a few years ago. Glad they didn't. The food is really tasty and the portions are decent. The service was great and the prices were reasonable. The only negative is very limited street parking.

The new ownership of this place has kept the same basic dishes and the enormous portions, but have definitely tried to make this more of a semi-formal dining experience, while keeping the mom and pop flare of its legacy. I love their pasta, though I know it's a bit overcooked for some tastes.

I was last here years ago, when the service and the food seemed disaffected. Today, service was stellar and food was delicious and fresh.
