A Taste of Peru in Bernal Heights
By Sarah Sung (Jun 22, 2007)
If you're not familiar with Bernal, just take Mission south past 30th Street, hang a left on Cortland, and you'll find yourself in this quaint, hilly neighborhood in no time. Open since March 2007 to critical consumer reviews noting frustrating service and high prices, Piqueo's -- with its zesty contemporary Peruvian food and homey atmosphere -- is now winning over a loyal neighborhood following and attracting foodies from across town. More

Classic Italian finds a home beyond North Beach
By genevieve robertson (Jun 14, 2007)
Italian restaurants open to much skepticism in this city. The standouts are definitely a cut above the rest and are hard to compete with. As one of the newest kids in town, Chiaroscuro faces a challenge to be sure, but this taste of Rome seems to have found a home away from the masses at the base of the Transamerica building. More

N’awlins Cooking in the Outer Sunset
By Chrissy Loader (Jun 7, 2007)
Next to a narrow shop selling vivid seashell necklaces and scarves sits Cajun Pacific Restaurant, a small slice of New Orleans in the Sunset. This little joint serves supper Thursday through Saturday, with a menu that changes weekly and includes classics such as gumbo ($6 cup, $7 bowl), bread pudding with whiskey sauce ($6), and andouille sausage corndogs ($8). Despite the intimate setting and the opportunity to don the Mardi Gras beads, we found the cooking uneven; the menu would benefit from a move away from the Pacific, and a concentration on the Cajun. More

This sleek and intimate sushi and sashimi bar is not for amateurs seeking California rolls. Fresh raw fish takes center stage. There is also an optional omakase tasting menu. Michael Black and Danny Dunham, former chefs of now defunct Midori Mushi, bring back the brilliant yet minimalist combination of tuna and lemon in the maguro roll. Sake selections from Beau Timken of True Sake, a sake boutique down the street, are sure to be winners and perfect matches to the delicious sushi. More

The U-shaped bar and ballpark-chic location creates a see and be-seen vibe at this wine bar and lounge, but the concept certainly attracts curious wine appreciators as well. With its group-friendly lounge setting, District has also become a designated spot for many a girls' night. The enticing wine flights, of which there are several, are nicely accompanied by a plentiful variety of small plates, including cheeses, salumis, and pizzettas. More

If I’m going to a vegetarian restaurant, it better have flavor and make me forget there’s no meat on the menu. Cha Ya (a favorite of many vegans in SF and in the East Bay, home of its flagship location) doesn’t exactly meet this requirement. However, it does offer a variety of meatless eats that make me hesitate before I sink back into my state of carnivoric bliss. Among the offerings, vegetable tempura, soba and udon noodles sway you into focusing on textures and flavors, while the vegetable sushi only convinces one that it could only be done right with raw fish. More

Located at the prime lower corner of North Beach’s Washington Park, Avenue G has the potential to be the local haunt for those seeking something other than straight up Italian. While there are a few pizzas, appetizers and mains roam the globe from Korean short ribs to a classic Cioppino, and further to that special Brazilian stew, feijoada. A definite plus is the late night menu offered until 12am on weeknights and until 12:30am on weekends. More

As the name suggests in its Italian translation, Chiaroscuro displays in its ambiance, and in its fare, a contrast of light and dark, simple and complex. The team that created this establishment hail from different corners of Italy, bringing influences that vary from Rome to Sardinia with a long menu that adds variety to regional cooking. You can’t resist the Italian casual charm that has given new life to the former home of Elisabeth Daniel and the angular Tartare. More

Open less than a year, Perbacco has already earned its name on the Chronicle’s Top 100 restaurants of 2007 with its house-cured meats and delectable pastas and an emphasis on flavors from the Piemonte and Liguria regions. There are plenty of options for dining on the well thought out items on the menu, whether it’s the inviting marble bar upfront, a cozy bar table, or the communal seating. More

In the now-fashionable-yet-still-sketchy Loin locale, Olive was one of the first swanky cocktail bars to brave the neighborhood. Though further gentrification has brought brighter, shinier bars to the area, Olive is still going strong with its short but solid drink list and choice small plates including calamari with chipotle aioli and pizzas to soak up that second or third martini with goat cheese-stuffed olives. Acquired in January 2007 by the fellows who own Rickshaw Stop, Olive maintains a comfortable vibe and a rotating art collection. More
