This is old-school San Francisco. Hearty pasta with heavy sauce served in a cozy environment of dark wood and red leather seats. The antidote to those cold, foggy San Francisco nights.

Parks & Nature

Maybe the most popular park in San Francisco. A great place to see the skyline and to people-watch. It's also home to the "golden fire hydrant" that kept working during the earthquake of 1906 and enabled firefighters to stop the fire in the Mission.
