A word from Fior d'Italia

Opened in 1886, Ristorante Fior d'Italia is America's oldest Italian restaurant. Chef Gianni Audieri continues the tradition of serving authentic Northern Italian cuisine with dishes such as gnocci, osso buco and calamari being called the Best in San Francisco by "The Fior's" customers. "The Fior"… is within walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf and the Financial District and just a few minutes from popular Beach Blanket Babylon.Continued

"Our birthday dinner for my sister (3 sisters dining)was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a more congenial atmosphere to celebrate. We took our time, working through three courses, various cocktails and wine, at our leisure. At no time were we rushed, our waiter was marvelous, friendly, courteous, arriving at the right times for our orders, and generally being solicitous without being obsequious! We will absolutely return for other occasions.
btw, as children we dined at Fior d'Italia with our grandparents and chose it basically out of nostalgia, none of us had been there in years. Turned out to be the perfect choice!"

"We had dined previously at the old Fior d'Italia, and this was our first time to the new location. Were we ever disappointed! The bright lights killed any chance for an intimate, romantic dinner. We remember the other place as being dark and "very Italian" with their waiters from the old country who had been there for years. My sauteed eggplant parmigan was excellent! Unfortunately, I had to eat it alone since a different steak waas served to my husband other than the one he had ordered. When the correct steak appeared, he did enjoy it, but eating at different times is not our idea of fine dining. We were each comped a drink, but still....."

"I have been a fan of Fior since 1968, the year I moved to CA. I absolutely love the food!! It is always fantastic and I'm never disappointed with the menu. I took a friend who had never been there and he totally agrees with my take --- Fior is truly a gem!"

"The service was quick, reserved and unobtrusive. The meal was was fantastic, with a large varied menu. A bit of old world charm, and a easy drive or walk from Pier 39. A great find."
