Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Presidio Heights

We were is San Francisco for my wife’s birthday and a friend suggested we should visit this spot and we are very glad we did! The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly and helpful! Definitely will come back next time we are in this beautiful city!

Delicious tasting menu. Highly recommend! Definitely try the beef carpaccio.

What a fabulous, authentic, delicious meal! We shared the tomato risotto croquettes. I had the chicken and my husband had the veal Saltimbocca. Every dish was delicious. We’ll be back!!!

Great spot for a casual night out with friends. The food is solid—tasty, though a bit on the pricey side for what you get. Service was friendly and attentive, which added to the overall good vibe. The ambiance is lively and energetic, so it’s perfect for catching up in a fun setting—but just a heads up, it’s not ideal if you’re looking for a quiet or intimate conversation. Overall, a fun place with good energy!

Note that we went before an event at ACT and were on a short timeline. The food and drinks were really quite good. To be honest, I hadn't expected a lot from a restaurant in that area, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's casual, not elevated in any way, but solid prep and served quickly. There were 3 of us and we shared the Caesar salad - which was fine, a pasta dish that had a taleggio cream, pancetta and hen of the woods mushrooms - also good, though very small, and the salsiccia pizza which was superb - I didn't even get mad about the broccoli that was on it, though I generally am unequivocally opposed to it. I had a Lemoncello spritzer that was outstanding, and a glass of wine. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and had opinions on wines, all of which I really appreciate. I think this is a great choice when attending an ACT production! ONE IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW - The restaurant validates parking for 3 hours, but if you stay longer than that, you will pay the full-rate, all-day parking price of $38. That was not a pleasant surprise.
