Description:
RUSSIAN HILL. Warm, intimate Frascati teems with neighborhood folks who appreciate its comfortable ambience and toothsome cuisine. (For people not so close, the Powell & Hyde cable car runs just beyond the front door.) The menu covers that nebulous territory that unites Italian, Mediterranean, and Californian fare – to wit, lamb carpaccio with minted eggplant caponata, pan-roasted pork tenderloin with Italian sausage and creamy basil farro, and tiger prawn risotto with melted leeks and prosciutto. Cap your choice with artisan cheeses or the restaurant's coveted black and white chocolate bread pudding. |

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:
SOMA. Take organic ingredients, superb wines, a chef's sure hand, and a sleek, romantic dining room. Then impart everything with the cachet that comes from affiliation with Mayor Gavin Newsom, and you've got a hint of what Jack Falstaff is all about. The menu is rustic but sophisticated, composed of offerings like quince-glazed Arctic char, five-spice duck breast, slow-roasted pork and seared sea scallops. Artisan cheeses and decadent, organic desserts like lavender crème brûlée and bananas Foster bread pudding also make a satisfying appearance. Great wines are priced just above retail. |

Description:
HAYES VALLEY. This much-loved mainstay has evolved into one of San Fran's favorite restaurants. The interior features Southwestern accents, but the food takes cues from California, France, Italy, and the Mediterranean. Fresh oysters at the bar make a good introduction, and the Caesar salad is famous far and wide. Other menu staples include duck breast and the signature roasted chicken (prepared to order). You'll also want to try house-cured anchovies and sourdough bread with the rest of the hip clientele. |
