Another fabulous time at Cesarios. I started with the Cosmopolitan was a fantastic and then we went into the oysters and clams fantastic then we share the Caesar salad fantastic and then we shared the special chicken piccata. Finished off the evening with cappuccinos and the lemon cello cake. I love this little hidden gem in San Francisco.

This is a little jewel next to the Marines Memorial Club. An intimate setting that makes you think you are in southern Italy. Excellent food selection, cooked to perfection, and the ambiance and attentive waiter sealed the deal. We will definitely be back!
