Category: Italian

Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill

5.0 star rating

WOW!  Is there any way to give this place more than 5 stars???

Everything on their menu sounded sooooo enticing.  After much deliberation, I decided to get the Paccheri Golosi (large tube pasta with prosciutto, porcini mushrooms & truffle oil in a…More »

It's a shame this place has such bad reviews.  I had an awesome time here.  We were walking along Fisherman's Wharf, and my boyfriend wanted to grab a drink somewhere nice and casual so we could catch a breather from walking all day.  Stumbled upon…More »

5.0 star rating
  9/1/2011

Why didn't I know about this place sooner?!  I've been coming to Sausalito for day trips ever since I can remember.  It's a pretty small diner-like cafe, but I love everything about it!  The staff is really friendly and chipper, the decor has a very…More »

Take a wild guess on what's one of my favorite drinks?  If you guessed a mint mojito, then I think you're a cool bean!  I was feeling like a sissy alcoholic and  ordered the Dragon Berry Rum with fresh strawberries mojito.  Oh my lady it's amazing!…More »

It was a beautiful warm and sunny day in downtown San Francisco.  The Slanted Door is located right at the edge of the Ferry Building, and it has a gorgeous view of the Bay Bridge.  

There was a huge line when we got there (12pm on a Tuesday - your…More »

  10/12/2011

I work right around the corner from here, and I must say.. I am a fan!  Keep in mind that this is a quick lunch buffet joint - it ain't the Wynn buffet!  So don't expect anything too fancy..

They have a decent selection of food - from salad to sushi,…More »

Once again, I was thoroughly satisfied with my experience here.

It was Monday, the day before Valentine's Day.  The boyfriend and I wanted a casual lunch with nothing too extravagant.  I know The Stinking Rose isn't the MOST casual place for lunch,…More »

Neighbourhood: Outer Sunset

4.0 star rating
  9/29/2011

For San Francisco, this place has pretty decent food for a pretty decent price.  Portions are a bit on the smaller side, so you might want to order a few more rolls.  I think the highlight of my meal was probably the beef amiyaki.  It was really…More »

I think I'm going to add this to my "yay! it's lunch time" list.  It's not legitimate Italian food, but I do enjoy their pizzas.  It's centrally located on the mezzanine level of Embarcadero One.  I love the outdoor seating area on the bridge, so if…More »

Today's forecast:   Wet, rainy, cold.

My solution: clam chowder, Dungeness crab cakes, and some blues...

I stumbled upon this place during my lunch hour.  With less than 30 minutes left to eat, pay, and walk back, I was hoping for some snappy service.…More »

Another one of my favorite lunch places in the Embarcadero/FiDi.  I love that it's right at the end of the Embarcadero buildings, so you can grab a seat outside and enjoy the beautiful view of the Ferry Building in the Justin Herman Plaza.

I've only been here once, and it seems to be a local favorite.  It was pretty empty at about 10pm, but I heard it gets pretty rowdy during the after hours.  

It seems to be a pretty laid back spot - lots of traditional Italian dishes, but without all…More »

I'm very surprised at the lack of enthusiasm for this restaurant.  This was probably my 4th time here, and I must say I've had pretty good experiences all 4 times.  It might be a bit expensive, but I don't think it's that out of the range.  I had the…More »

I love gastropubs in the City, especially this place in particular.  Belden Place actually feels like a street you would find in Europe.  It's such a hidden gem, but it's definitely a gem that needs to be discovered.
