Booth Dining at Bruno's Nightclub at a Compassionate Price Point
Originally opened in 1940, Bruno's is a San Francisco landmark restaurant, lounge and live music club. Bruno's retro spirit starts at the building's facade, with the original sign and striped awning, and continues through the interior with high backed booths, multi-colored glass cylinder light fixtures, and a 10,000 gallon saltwater fish tank in the lounge. Live music is performed nightly in the Cork Club, considered one of San Francisco's premier "jazz pits" featuring both local and national acts. More

Café Riggio keeping it real
North Beach is inarguably the best place in the city for traditional family Italian, but sometimes we just don't feel like dealing with the parking, the crowds or the prices. On those nights, we walk over to Café Riggio, a moderately priced neighborhood Italian nestled between 5th and 6th Avenues on Geary's burgeoning "restaurant row." More

Cozies Up the Mission
In order to avoid reputation-harming clichés, it would be wrong to say that if you blink, you'll miss the cozy Caffe Ponte Vecchio. Instead, let's say that even if you know the address of the place, it will still take some searching to find. More

A Meal Worth Savoring
On an unassuming corner of the Mission, I had what I would undoubtedly say was one of the best meals I've experienced in San Francisco. It might have been the company or the welcoming candlelit room washed in turquoise and framed in dark wood that put me in this exceptional mood, but I'm certain the food had a significant role. At Alma, Chef Johnny Alamilla has created a menu of Nuevo Latino cuisine that isn't forced or pretentious and has been consistently stellar for almost three years. He uses local ingredients that match and mimic the traditional dishes while adding a hint of more character. More

A combination of classical training and Latin upbringing are what led Chef Johnny Alamilla to feature ceviche so prominently on his menu at Alma, the popular Nuevo Latino restaurant in the Mission district. His training taught him that a meal should be structured, and begin with a light, fresh palate cleanser. His heritage provided memories of summers in his grandmother's kitchen in Miami. The two come together in the logical conclusion that his menu should lead with ceviche. More

Hurry Out of Bed for this Brunch
It took about five seconds (tops) to polish off my melon aqua fresca ($2.50) -- each sip was like diving into the cool, blue ocean on a hot summer day. This concoction served as the perfect metaphor for my brunch experience: inviting, fresh, seasonal, and totally satisfying. You leave Slow Club wanting more, not because the portions are small (they're not) but because the meals are just that good. More

On the corner of Powell and Union, just off the main drag in North Beach, sits Iluna Basque, a swank eating place pushing itself into San Francisco's late night scene. Chef Mattin Nobile, formerly of Gerald Hirigoyen's Piperade, wanted to create a destination for his peers, a welcoming late night haunt with food and drink from or inspired by his Basque upbringing.
