Description:
COW HOLLOW. Playfully bestowed with the Italian word for "optimist" – that is, one who always believes that the glass is half full – this wine bar also has a way with Italian-inspired tapas. Offering more than 200 by-the-bottle options, Ottimista showcases a changing 25 by-the-glass selections, concentrating on northern Italian vintages. Choose your favorite, and couple it with items like truffled mushroom risotto, a hand-crafted salumi plate, artisanal cheeses, pumpkin ravioli, or a roasted half-chicken. A great date-worthy place. |

Description:
MARINA DISTRICT. Alegrias means "joy," and that's exactly what you'll get after sampling the great tapas at this friendly, family-style place. Among its delicious dishes are conejo à la cazuela (stewed rabbit and vegetables), brandy-flamed cheese, and sweetbreads. Alegrias is also well-known for its paella, prepared with either seafood and chicken or vegetables only. Friendly staff and addictive sangria add to the fun. |

Description:
MARINA DISTRICT. Somehow, this restaurant's cozy (albeit expanded) dining room and heated back patio seem precisely proportionate to its small-plate menu. Culinary appeal, however, is tremendous, and Luke Sung's "French tapas" offer an innovative take on Spanish tradition. Delectable tidbits range from foie gras to sea bass, roasted mussels, sweetbreads, and a potato galette – all decadent, perfectly prepared morsels. A nice wine list offers by-the-glass selections, and a young, professional crowd contributes to the convivial atmosphere. |
