We have been here twice with friends and really like it. The food is excellent and the service good. Delivery of the food seemed a bit slow last night, but that was a kitchen problem not the wait staff. If you like a bit of space around you, this is the place to go, too. A very open plan There was a saxophone playing last night, which became a bit loud. But it was a very good saxophonist!!!

We were celebrating our son's engagement to his sweet girlfriend. We liked that we could make a reservation in advance. The outdoor patio is a pleasant setting, and the food (especially the Genoa sandwich) was excellent and generous. We wished that we had ordered more than one tiramisu because, despite the fact that we had eaten our main courses heartily, we all wanted more.

As a real 100% Roman living in the Bay Area I usually am very skeptical about “Roman cuisine” abroad but I stumbled into 54 Mint last night with my wife. We both really liked it. We’ll definitely go back to taste different things. Looking forward to going back soon.

Corzetti. A excellent Italian restaurant. The food was excellent the chicken piccata, nonnona meatballs,focaccia was delicious. I ordered an espresso martini it was very delicious. Squash ravioli excellent. Dessert was also excellent panna cotta and bundio very tasty. I would visit again. This restaurant reminds of other Italian restaurant in the city have closed. Example Caesar’s and villa de deste which are old school restaurants like Corzetti.

This was our first time dining here and we were so impressed and delighted! The service was out of the park amazing, so friendly, efficient and professional! We started with a very reasonably priced bottle of wine, the "Bread & Butter" with the Miso-Nori butter and shared an ample sized Caesar salad. The bread and salad were prepared in an innovative way and absolutely delicious. For entrees we ordered the Pan Roasted Salmon, interestingly enhanced with a dollop of curry butter (Yum) and the Duck Carbonara was rich and flavorful. We plan to add Hazie's to our rotation and would highly recommend Hazie's to friends and family.

Everything was great. It’s a dark/moody ambiance with good music. The food & drinks were very good. We got truffle fries, burrata, and carnitas tacos. We were just visiting from east coast for the weekend, but if we lived in the area we would go back. Lastly, everything was very reasonably priced and they had a good menu selection.

Everything we ordered was delicious: eggplant, oxtail ( my fav ) & bacon-covered date tapas, plus squid ink paella ( the last was good, but the tapas were more impressive ). Portions were generous, we ordered way too much. 3 or 4 tapas for the 2 of us would have been plenty. Red Sangria included fruits, brandy & cinnamon, but was definitely was wine forward- a good thing. Leftover paella into a doggie box so we could also enjoy the Basque cheesecake & poached pear. Our waiter went above & beyond, returning to our table several times to tape paper over the window as the sun moved. The decor is attractive, upscale casual ( hope that is clear ). An easy walk from UnionSq or Bart, with plenty of parking lots nearby . We are already looking forward to a return visit.
