We love the Cioppino, steamed clams and seafood risotto. The last had us making a second trip back in our 4 days stay in San Francisco.The seafood was very fresh and the bread served was very good too!Highly recommended :)

Lovely restaurant with amazing seafood and pastas. They are pretty busy but it was well worth the wait. We got counter seats right smack in the middle of the action. Highly recommended for anyone in San Francisco!!

Some of the best seafood in SF. Hsd the Cioppino and also crab linguini (heavy on amazing crab, light on linguini). Come early to get a table.
The "Best Damn Cioppino" in San Francisco! The very best in authentic, delicious Italian Seafood. One of San Francisco's top rated restaurants on Google, Yelp and Trip Advisor. Please note that our closing time represents our last seating of the day, not the actual closing time of the restaurant.
