San Francisco Restaurant Tips by JMetro

Lupa Trattoria: Lupa Trattoria - Fresh authentic Roman Italian

The food has always been spectacular and fresh. The chef makes all the pasta and bread from scratch right there. They have great salads and appetizers as well as meat and seafood dishes. And the best tiramisu around. The service is friendly and fast. It is casual but nice enough for a business dinner or a date. I like that it is not too noisy.

Favorite Dish: My two favorites are the ravioli di zucca - stuffed with butternut squash in brown butter sage - freshly made and as good as anywhere in Italy. My other fav is the grilled radicchio with goat cheese with balsamic drizzled on it.
