San Francisco

SF is a city that rewards curiosity. Seek out the hole-in-the-wall coffee spots, vintage bookstores, and tucked-away restaurants where the food is as experimental as the city itself. Whether you’re watching the fog roll over the Golden Gate or uncovering a hidden mural in the Mission, the best of San Francisco is always just around the corner.

    Great for a group of four—always a good time. The tagliatelle al ragù is rich, the margherita has a bold twist, and if you're a Celentano fan… you’re in for a treat.

    A hidden Roman escape in downtown SF. Start with the supplì—crispy, cheesy perfection. If they have cicoria, don’t think twice. It’s a simple dish, but here, it’s insane.

    It's just always a good call, especially if you have any vegetarians joining you! Order a bunch of plates to share and get at least one order of the Dongbei Potstickers with the spicy!! sauce.
