WOW!!! What a cute restaurant with the BEST vibe and service! We dined here with our family who have celiac and it was such an incredible experience to eat in such a delicious entirely gluten free restaurant with no worries about making sure things are safe. Not only was it safe, but it was SO yummy!!! The chocolate cake and foccacia were highlights! Definitely come here- celiac or not!

I had guests visiting from out of town for Pride, one of which is celiac. She has really struggled with it in her life and lives in a part of the country that does not have options in restaurants. I wanted to take her to a completely gluten free restaurant so that she could have the experience of being able to order anything on the menu. I didn’t know what to expect as I have never eaten gluten free breads or pizzas, and I chose Clementina. WOW. just wow. I was absolutely blown away by the food. There is sometimes a negative association with gluten free pizza or bread and I have to admit I was a bit skeptical but everything we had was SO GOOD. the focaccia was fluffy and the texture was so pleasing. The pizza was better than most in the city! The crust was tasty and crunchy and the toppings were well designed. To see the looks on my friends face as she ate the best gluten free breads she ever had was so incredibly rewarding. This restaurant is very special and is a truly perfect option for anyone, dietary restriction or not, to go. Thank you so much for enabling this experience for us! The interior is cozy and pretty and the staff were great. We had some fantastic mocktails too, which I always appreciate on a menu as a non-drinker! also, shout out the slab of tiramisu we had for dessert!

Nice atmosphere. Sat at bar and bartender very attentive. The eggplant is mushie, and bland. Also sauce no flavor. The mussels were delicious. The cauliflower interesting ingredients, but needs more of a bite. The. Pesto fettuccine was good, and best liked by all of us. I probably won't go back, but don't want to discourage others to try gluten free resturant

Certainly a unique and cozy spot! Enjoyed the classic movie projected on the wall and the various antiques throughout. We sat at the bar and enjoyed visiting with the staff. This is a place whose kitchen runs on very few people! The wait wasnt long, the meals and beverages were pretty good. The best part for me was that it was 100% gluten free! Go for the focaccia and stay for the tiramisu! 😉

I have a gluten allergy and it was a treat to be able to order anything off the menu! My fiancé does not and loved every option. We tried the focaccia with anchovies, tagliatelle with pesto, Cornish hen and pizza with potato, artichokes, lamb and ricotta. All was so good. Our server Julia was 10/10. She answered all our Italian wine questions, was personable and attentive. I’m coming back again. Loved my experience!

Dined here with my friend who can't eat gluten. I'm so glad we went. The gnocchi and wine I ordered were DELICIOUS, and our server was so so sweet. I already have plans to go back!

We had such a fantastic night at Clementina last night! The service was warm and welcoming from start to finish, and honestly, every single thing we ordered was excellent. We went all in on pizzas and pastas, and everything was so good that even the gluten-eaters at the table completely forgot it was gluten-free. The standout for me might have been the focaccia — somehow fluffy, airy, and deeply satisfying, served with whipped butter that we could not stop eating. They also have a wonderful wine list that made the whole evening feel extra festive. And then came dessert. We ordered one of everything and have zero regrets: a truly excellent tiramisu, an intensely rich flourless chocolate cake, silky panna cotta topped with fresh berries, and some especially delicious gelato. It was one of those meals where everyone at the table just kept looking at each other saying, “wait, THIS is gluten-free?” We had the best time and can’t wait to come back.

Clementina is a totally gluten free Italian restaurant in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district. It is run by the same person that ran Bettola and also owns Montesacro, great pivot. No more market inside. They have one menu with some items not available at lunch. 3.7 on Yelp. Price are not cheap, welcome to inflation new order. 5% Employer Surcharge. Food is great for gluten free folks, and okay for the rest of us accompanying them. No sense judging it against normal food with gluten Service was solid but not exceptional, with some long pauses. Food Review: Crocchette ($18.00) Eggplant Fritters, Smoked Paprika Mayonnaise for 4 are large balls filled with warm eggplant. 8.5/10 FOCACCIA E BURRO ($8) House Focaccia, Whipped House Butter, Maldon Sea Salt. is great for GF people. Lots of cubes that are not powdery. 8.5/10 Clementina Pizza ($25.00) Mozzarella, Spigarello, Pork Sausage, Stracciatella are rectangular and could have had more meat. Better than most gluten free ones. 8.5/10 Gnocchi Agnello ($25.00) was made with the eggless pasta and Lamb Ragù, Parmigiano Reggiano. Much better than a simple penne and good sauce. 9/10 Tiramisu ($13.00) Coffee Soaked Pan di Spagna, Mascarpone, Eggs, Cacao is a godsend for GF folks. 8.5/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Very Good Service - Good Value - Good Would we come back - Yes

Magical magical magical! I will definitely be back! As a celiac, this was a heavenly find, and I ate wayyyyyy too much! I was so excited that I forgot to take photos 🤣 however, we had the focaccia bread- HEAVEN. The pork cutlet, the lamb ragú, the tiramisu, and the chocolate cake. Everything was delicious! I will definitely be back!

I'll start with the Positives: It was an absolute pleasure dining in a space that is gluten free. The background anxiety when dining out was erased, and I hope Clementina improves and is able to carve out a space for quality, gluten free dining. Also, the wine we had (along with their selection) was incredible. The Primotivo, the Lambrusco, the Bardolino, were all fantastic. As for the food, to put it simply, it was all fine, but it was lackluster. Each item we ordered was neither here nor there, and each dish was calling out for something else to be included. Beets: This dish was essentially a (large) pile of beets. It was labeled as Rape e More, (Beets and Blackberries) but the dish was all beets, with two (yes, 2) blackberries, and some almonds. The citronette dressing was incredibly weak. Like nearly everything we ordered, this dish was calling out for more flavor, a bigger punch, something other than bland boiled beets. Asparagus: This was the most disappointing. The egg yolk crumble had no flavor and was simply an unnecessary element. The poached asparagus was a bit soggy, and the mozzarella (while substantial) added little to the flavor profile. This dish, with a bit of salt, pepper, maybe some balsamic or other regionally appropriate dressing, could've elevated the dish, but rather, we were left with a soggy, flavorless $20 asparagus. Gnocchi: Luckily had a bit more in the flavor department, but was very one note. The lamb ragu was good, but was still lacking the presence of an acid, or even some herbs. It was a fine dish, the only thing remarkable about it was that it was GF, not it's flavor. Pesto Rigatoni: The pasta itself is not the problem here, but again, the dish was calling out for black pepper, even some lemon. Pizza: We ordered the Clementina Pizza. The crust was delicious, the toppings were okay. The sausage and cheese were great, the calabrian oil topping was spicy, but a welcomed heat to the meal. The main issue I had with the dish was the serving. The pizza was not pre-cut, but rather, we were handed a pizza cutter. It was gimmicky and annoying; the main issue I had was the physical act of cutting the pizza. The pizza came on a rimmed plate, and was awkward and a little precarious to cut, which resulted in messy irregular pieces. Next time, I'll ask for it to be pre-cut. Flourless Chocolate Cake - The center was gooey, the outside was a tad dry. The Whipped Cream was okay, but did not provide the moisture to offset the dryness of the edges of the cake. Again, like most everything we had, this dish was missing something. Whether it be a raspberry glaze, a creme anglaise, or even some fleur de sel, the dish was a miss. With tip, we spent about $230 for 2 people. With this price tag, I think its fair to have expected more. For this amount, theres many great restaurants in SF that have GF options (though, not a dedicated kitchen).

When I heard that there was a new celiac - safe Italian restaurant in town I knew I had to go check it out! It was absolutely perfect - the ambience was great and everything we had was super tasty. Plus the peace of mind of eating in a completely gluten free establishment was priceless!

I was excited about Clementina, and the experience surpassed my expectations. The staff is friendly and energetic, and the environment is welcoming and comfortable. As a gluten-free eater, I was thrilled to have the ability to order anything on the menu. Everything we ordered was delicious, with the standouts being the focaccia, gnocchi, and soft serve ice cream. My wife is not gluten-free and she loved everything; she even remarked that the focaccia and gnocchi did not taste gluten-free. It is so wonderful to have a restaurant where I and others can order anything we want, and our loved ones can also enjoy delicious food. The owner also stopped by our table and was warm and kind, and he spoke about how his daughter’s celiac disease inspired him to open Clementina. I left feeling full of delicious food and gratitude, with the hope that this restaurant is here to stay for a long time—I’ll be coming for as long as it is!

If you’re looking for a full on gluten free experience where you can have no fear of cross contamination or being judged because of it then Clementina will set you free. They have gluten free focaccia! They have gluten free pasta that is not just penne in red sauce! They have gluten free desserts! Overall, I was very pleased with Clementina and definitely want to bring my family here. With everything carefully curated for a full on gluten free Italian experience it’s definitely worth it!

Clementina brought me back to when I was in Puglia Italy for my sister’s wedding. With my mom, sister, and myself being Celiac, eating gluten free in Italy was some of the best food experiences we’ve ever had . Being new to the Bay Area where finding good gluten free food is next to impossible, clementina was like traveling back in time to when I was in Italy. 100% gluten free restaurant, all family owned. The owner of the restaurant opened clementina because his daughters are both celiac and wanted to share the tradition or true northern Italian cooking with his family and with everyone here in San Francisco. Everything was fantastic from the calamari pasta to the fried pork cutlet, desserts, and wine selection, it is truly a gem.
