FIOR d' ITALIA - SAN FRANCISCO, CA

FIOR D' ITALIA
SAN REMO HOTEL
2237 MASON STREET
SAN FRANCISCO, CA
415-986-1886

With every visit to San Francisco we try to search out the best Italian restaurants.  I look at social media, reviews, Yelp and Best of lists and try to find gems.  Doesn't always work but we have enjoyed some decent food.  I thought Fior d' Italia was ok, but if were asked if I would return again, the answer would probably be no.  Nothing really popped here like Ristorante Milano.  We all did love the Calamari which was very lightly battered and cooked to absolute perfection.  Some of the best fried Calamari we have ever eaten.  Loved it.  We enjoyed the Tagliatelle Bolognese and Bucatini Pastas.  Good but not great.  Nothing we would want to come back for.  The Veal Piccata was just ok.  Again, nothing I would come back for.  Thought the Poached Pear was disappointing after enjoying a superior similar dish at Ristorante Milano.  We did enjoy our meal and family time here.

The third stop on my personal North Beach Food Tour was a stop at Original Joe's for Pasta.  We ordered the Spicy Rigatoni and Joe's House Made Ravioli.  Entire family loved the Spicy Rigatoni.  Great flavor with perfectly cooked pasta.  We also liked the Ravioli with Beef and Spinach but all of us kept going back to the Rigatoni.  Great service and pasta.

RISTORANTE MILANO - SAN FRANCISCO, CA

HOURS:  Daily 5:30PM - 9:30PM

Back to our fave Ristorante Milano in San Francisco for some great Italian food.  It is rare that we get to eat here twice in a year but since our Daughter moved to San Francisco, we now can enjoy it on every visit.  We were here in November and once again loved everything on the menu.  This visit was similar with a feast of some of our favorite dishes and a little vino shared with the Owner, Aldo himself.  Aldo is a great restaurant owner that really knows how to make his customers feel special.  Food here is always fresh and delicious.  The Calamari is a must and one of the best we have ever had.  The Gnocchi is also a must as is the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage and Butter.  Heck everything is good and that is why we order so many dishes.  This is one of the few restaurants that always make us feel so satisfied after the meal.  Always want to return!
