We serve food that, more often than not, accesses that part of our deepest soul where genuine expression can flow forth. We have always tried to give our food and service our best selves, as honest and vulnerable as we can muster. We strive to be a place where you might actually have a real connection; maybe with your server, maybe with your food or maybe with your possibly dorky host who is ACTUALLY glad you’re there.
Oh, you wanted a restaurant description? Sorry. Can’t really help you there. We’re not so big on labels. Our food is hard to nail down as we are constantly evolving and entirely seasonal and personal. We’ve used “Food you eat” as a tag line on occasion and that remains accurate. We could also describe it as “Food we really want you to eat”. When you’re here, tell us what you would call it.

Situated in the congenial San Francisco neighborhood of Noe Valley, Lupa is a classic Italian trattoria with comfortable neighborhood charm, affordable prices, and destination-caliber cuisine. Using the best available local ingredients, Chef Stefano Coppola creates a seasonal menu featuring classic dishes from his home in Rome.
The menu is based on the Italian tradition of preparing food - combining simplicity with the best ingredients of the season, including quality olive oil, locally grown local vegetables and fruits, and seasonal specials of seafood, poultry, meat and game. Our bread and pastas - gnocchi, tagliatelle, pappardelle, tortelloni, and ravioli are homemade on premise.
In addition to the regular menu, our specials menu features different soups, antipasti, pastas, and main courses.
Beyond a passion for authentic Roman cuisine, our friendly Italian staff work from their hearts to make your visit comfortable and enjoyable.

Since it opened in 1993, Chef Vincenzo Cucco has been turning out delicious food, some of the best made to order risotto, pastas, etc. In all, Bacco is a top neighborhood restaurant and truly offers a meal to savor." -Michael Bauer, S.F Chronicle restaurant critic
We would like to welcome our new Chef Bobby Nasser to the Bacco family. With over 30 years of culinary experience starting in Italy to his latest venture at the Fairmount Royal York Hotel in Toronto Canada.

BIRCH & RYE presents a modern interpretation of Russian cuisine. Using premium and niche ingredients, the restaurant reimagines Russian food through a California lens, featuring unique takes on traditional plates that are deconstructed. Chef Owner Anya El-Wattar, a Russian-born émigré and a decades-long SF resident, believes there is no better way to connect than through lively conversation and creatively imagined food. She began cooking with her mother in Moscow and received formal training at the Natural Gourmet Institute in NYC. She also cooked at Greens in Fort Mason, and successfully ran a catering and non-profit, The Butterfly Social.
Among the light & seasonal dishes at Birch & Rye are several GF and vegan options. The beverage program features infused vodkas & Eastern European wines.

    Enjoyed the food and atmosphere despite an inept waiter. He got the wine order wrong, and described an entree incorrectly when asked for a description. When he overlooked the empty water bottle and glasses and turned his back to our table, we tapped his elbow for attention. He responded with “did you tap me just now? Don’t ever do that again please” before saying that providing more water was the job of a busboy. After that he must have asked a bartender to manage us as we never saw him again.

    Greeted straight away by warm and friendly staff. Ambiance cozy.  The calamari was lightly battered and came with a chili sauce that had just the right amount of heat.  The shrimp pasta came with a generous amount of shrimps that were tender and delicious. The lamb Gyro was generously portioned.  vegetables were clearly fresh. Coffee was remarkably good—came from North Beach.

    We routinely drive across town to go to Lupa Trattoria. Usually about once per week. The staff is quick, helpful, and very friendly, and the owner is most always present and working. The food is freshly prepared in the open kitchen and is always delicious. We highly recommend this Italian restaurant. It is a go-to favorite of ours.

    The perfect brunch! The service was fast and attentive. My teenage kids were the only “kids” in the restaurant besides one tiny baby and the wait staff didn’t blink an eye. The food was delicious, beautiful, fresh, and just perfect. In other words, a lovely morning out.
