Andiamo In Banca

We just stopped in for lunch by chance. Even though they were closing for lunch to prepare for dinner, Ibo welcomed us in. We had a fantastic meal. Service from Ibo was fabulous and Atmosphere is stunning. Highly recommend giving this place a try. We will be back to try dinner.

Yall are sleeping on the $19.95 3-course lunch special! This place is open at 11am on some weekdays and the special comes with soup or salad, an entree, and a gelato or chocolate mousse. The place is spacious and clean, service is quick. Table bread is warm and yummy.

Such a great value for lunch - support this local business!!

We started with the Grey Goose Martini and Calamari Frutti. The martini was horrible too much vermouth. The price was this horrible drink was $17. Waste of money. The Calamari Frutti was very good. For the entree we had Linguine Frutti Di Mare. Beautiful presentation, but a bit too salty for our taste buds.

The ambiance was very nice. Although our table was a bit small for the entrees.

The service was lacking. No refills on ice tea, but they did fill out the water. The food servers did not speak English well, the waiters were the ones who spoke English.

We think Ristorante Buon Gusto has better service and food. This restaurant has better ambiance.

It was a okay experience.

From the moment we stepped into Adiamo In Banca Italian restaurant, the dark and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a memorable evening. The subdued lighting and strategically placed candles on each table created an intimate ambiance that felt perfect for a Friday night outing. The restaurant was abuzz with activity, with about 80% of the tables occupied, yet the sound level was maintained at a comfortable level, allowing us to engage in conversation without raising our voices.

The seating arrangement played a significant role in enhancing the overall experience. The tables were spaced well, providing a sense of privacy while still allowing us to enjoy the lively atmosphere. The décor, with its rustic charm and subtle Italian touches, added to the overall appeal of the restaurant.

Adiamo's suitability for a romantic evening became evident as we settled into our seats. The attentive waitstaff, dressed in classic attire, added to the upscale yet welcoming vibe. The dim lighting, coupled with the romantic undertones, made it an ideal spot for couples looking to share a special moment.

In terms of pricing, Adiamo In Banca falls comfortably within the average range for a dining establishment of its caliber. The menu boasts a diverse selection of Italian dishes, and while the food quality was not exceptional, it certainly met our expectations. The Margarita pizza had a perfectly crisp crust, the clam pasta and seafood pasta were flavorful, and the Caesar salad provided a refreshing contrast.

A delightful surprise awaited us in the form of complimentary bread served with olive oil and vinegar. The bread was warm and crusty, a testament to its freshness, and the olive oil and vinegar provided a delightful prelude to the flavors that awaited us in our main courses.

While Adiamo may not boast Michelin-starred cuisine, it excels in providing a well-rounded dining experience. The service was prompt and attentive, with the staff demonstrating a genuine commitment to ensuring our satisfaction.

In conclusion, Adiamo In Banca Italian restaurant stands out as a very nice spot for those seeking a balance of ambiance, affordability, and decent food quality. Whether you're planning a romantic date or a casual dinner with friends, Adiamo provides a charming setting that adds a touch of sophistication to your dining experience. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable Italian restaurant in South San Francisco.

so happy they reopened for lunch. They also have a 3-course meal lunch special for $19.95. My husband and I both chose the lunch special and they are so delicious. Service was good. Highly recommended.

Amazing authentic Italian food In an old bank! The service was first class and so was the food! Beautiful setting in a historic bank.

Good italian good and very friendly staff.
If you eat inside the vault, then there will no phone signal.

It doesn't look like much from the outside (well, it looks like a bank), but this restaurant has a lot to offer. It was easy to make a reservation online for dinner on a Sunday evening, but unnecessary as the place was pretty empty when we arrived. The setting was elegant with draping curtains along the windows and clean white tablecloths in the spacious dining area, as well as a small bar with a TV at the corner and a private dining room inside the vault room in the back of the restaurant. Service was prompt and professional... of course we were one of the few people there, so I'd expect nothing less. Still, I appreciate their effort into making sure we had everything we needed during our visit.

Only one problem. There were too many delectable items to choose from on the menu, both food and drinks! We ended up getting the Diavola pizza (spicy sausage and mushroom) which was about 12 inches in diameter, Brussel Sprouts with Pancetta, a super tasty appetizer, some of the best I've ever had, and the Arugula Salad, a large serving filled with fresh and delicious greens and cherry tomatoes. That pizza was amazing, every single ingredient, generous toppings and cheese, and fyi, the "spicy sausage" was not spicy at all... but that didn't take away from how delightful and perfect the pizza was. For drinks, we tried The Linden, Lemon Drop, Last Word, and Rye Rye, and each of the cocktails were full of flavor and strong in alcohol, it's hard to pick a fave. Great experience overall.

Here on a work trip and company booked me in hotel close to airport. Came here without any expectations. Friday night early before the crowd. Had the Linden cocktail. Rather two of them. Really delicious. Had the squid ink pasta with salmon. Hit the spot. Was amazing. Followed by the lava cake with paired port. Overall amazing dinner and will come back again. Plus it's freaking cool that this is a converted bank with seating in the old vault.

Made reservations for a weekday business lunch through OpenTable. Check in was easy and table was ready when we arrived.

Food - 5/5
We had ordered the bruschetta and calamari appetizers to share and both were great. Everyone loved both apps. 5/5 for both
Complimentary bread with olive oil and vinegar was also served.

For entree, I ordered the pappardelle bolognese. The pasta was very good but I thought that the sauce was a bit too thin and didn't cling to the noodles like I liked. The sauce had a lot of fresh tomato chunks but not much meat. 4/5
I'd try the penne with tomato cream sauce (vodka sauce) or the rigatoni alla carcerata as my coworkers gave those high ratings. All the dishes were served piping hot with table side se of Parmesan cheese when requested.

For dessert, I tried both the tiramisu and panna cotta. The tiramisu had great flavor and wasn't very heavy. The panna cotta had good tartness from the mango and strawberry flavors. 5/5 for both

Servers were friendly and attentive. I'm planning to return soon to try other dishes and recommend this for anyone in the SSF area looking for good Italian food or a piping hot bowl of pasta/noodles.
