Seems like I was on the beach all day, and caught my limits of fish, gave them all away to the people that showed intrest in them, and even cleaned one because the little scab that wanted it didn't know how to prep it for cooking. The ocean is a great place, but it sure can make you cold, cold all the way through, but luckily the Golden Mirror Italian Restaurant is just a few blocks away and nothing warms a body better than good authentic Italian food. ☆☆☆☆☆
The food was so good I had to go back just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I took my pal'et Patty Applejack with me to verify the quality, presentation and taste of our meal.
Patty said they smashed it! and I agree. 5 stars again ☆☆☆☆☆

It is not surprising this restaurant has been in business for over 50 years. We had dinner on a Saturday night and even though the place was busy service was very good. Our server Eddy was very attentive and always there when we needed him. The food was all prepared exquisitely. We ordered escargot, calamari, tuna tartare, pizza, veal saltinbocca, the seafood special (dorado that night), tiramisu, and chocolate brownie. My 3 guests and I all left very satisfied with the food and service. Their wine list is not very big, but offers good variety and value. I will certainly be back.

Popped in for dinner randomly on a Wednesday night at 7 and it was lively and full. The food was far better than I expected from the low key exterior of the restaurant—veal parmigiana was amazingly good, tiramisu was surprisingly light and perfect, cannoli were lovely. You can tell things are made from scratch and with care here. We had a lovely waiter Joseph who made us feel like cherished family even though it was our first time. We will be back here often for our special occasions.

Came here for dinner with a group and sat inside. I felt very well spaced from others. My friend pointed out the bar which seems to be from when this was initially a New Orleans speakeasy. In the middle of our dinner, with permission from our dinner guests and the waiter, we were able to sit at the bar to experience it. In New Orleans style, we ordered sazeracs which were great. All the food was great

Great food and top notch service make this dining experience exceptional!
Rene Stolp
Food and service great, there were some really loud people at the bar.I am normally pretty easy going and tolerant.
I think they were connected to the restaurant and should have toned it down ( rough talk).........just a bit.( even if they are Italians , lol)
Again the service and food was great!!
The atmosphere was family style and I enjoyed it otherwise.

Lasagna was best Italian so far.
Pizza had a nice chew. Service was great. Love the decor. Hope they don't modernize it too much.
Mark Tomey
Great experience. Very old school place with great food, impeccable service, and nice atmosphere. They should refill sodas. No, really YOU SHOULD! Highly recommend this local neighborhood restaurant who should start refilling sodas and not charge $2.50 each....no, really....

1 of my favorite places. The Calamari is excellent. They have wood fired pizzas.

Love traditional Italian. I'm here for my Sunday supper. Cannelloni app, lasagna Bolognese, pasta of the day, catch of the day, tiramisu, bottle of Pinot noir. Loved it all. Excellent!

We often walk from our house to this fabled location for special meals.
A restaurant that has been around this long has a very good thing going for it.
This time we sat outside in the
well built dining booths with heaters.
We have a habit of ordering heavily so we ordered light and still took food home.
The dessert was excellent.
Enjoy!

As a north NJ native, this is the best Italian food I’ve had in SF, hands down.

I’ve came by here hundreds of times while riding the L and it took me 5 years to finally get in. This is a classic family Italian restaurant. The decor is pretty hokey but the drinks are strong, wine is basic and food was delicious. I’ll be back and FYI, they do takeout.
steve russo
The flavors of the food is wonderful it's just they have a tendency to over salt.
Betty Landry
A birthday celebration, in a fabulous place, wonderful service with delicious food. An abnormally hot evening and the staff did all they could to keep us comfortable, with water glasses and other beverages continuously filled!
Ann Newell
We've all loved this place for years, especially when my Aunt Elsie was alive. It was the family tradition to hook up and have dinner. Always lived it when they would have prime rib. Will be back again soon.
Shelton Fong
This place never disappoints as everything is good. The pasta and veal dishes are my favorite!
Connor Patrick Patterson
Amazing food and really great staff. The balance of old school hand made pasta neighborhood Italian meets next generation of diners and staff makes this classic Italian restaurant a no brainer. By far one of the best Italian meals I've had. Bravo.
Bill Cashman
Friendly staff, attentive service, nice conversation with floor manager. Remodeled interior( we hadn't been here in a while). The food was excellent, I would recommend it! If your west of Twin Peaks and your looking for a good Italian restaurant go to the Gold Mirror!
Clara Kafarta
Traditional Italian food at its best!!! Highly recommend it!!!!
Dawn Griffin
Missed the halibut and crab-stuffed prawns, the hostesses little girls running around were annoying and the young man behind the bar was snarky and more interested in his phone. On the upside, our waiter was excellent as was the food. Pity the atmosphere has gone downhill. Having children running around while trying to enjoy a somewhat expensive dinner really a bummer.....will be a long time before I go back to what was once a special place for my family.

I have been going to this Restaurant for many years and I have enjoyed every time I have eaten there, Since moving to Florida and come to San Francisco for business or yo visit friends I always go to eat at the Gold Mirror every time I am here. The staff is the best.
Christopher Eandi
I have been eating at the Gold Mirror restaurant my entire life, always the best of everything when I'm there. The Di Grande's treat you like family.
The best.

The Gold Mirror is a wonderful Italian restaurant that is a treasured neigborhood gem! North Beach flavor at 18th & Taraval in the Sunset! How lucky are we?

If you visit this restaurant, ask for recommended wines. A friendly server will give you happiness.
