Cotogna
Third night in a row eating out this week. This time we were revisiting Cotogna which we last visited here back in July. We had such a great meal last time we were very much looking forward to this meal. Menu had changed a fair amount since July which was nice since we could try

Fiorella
I’ve been dealing with the flu and pneumonia for the last couple weeks so we’ve been laying low, but I was finally up for going out again. We decided to go very low key and just eat at the newest restaurant in our neighborhood, Fiorella, the 4th location of this restaurant in SF and occupying

Esther’s Kitchen
Wednesday’s dinner courtesy of Steven was at Esther’s kitchen. Nice cocktails – I had a refreshing seasonal tequila and carrot juice based drink. Food was generally tasty. Grilled peaches was a nice starter. The bread and the butters were good, but not spectacular (give me some Tartine country loads or some Acme…). The tuna starter

Cotogna
Dinner at Cotogna before the Dear San Francisco show. This is the sister restaurant to Quince (at which we ate last month).

Penny Roma
We didn’t feel like cooking today, so we decided to try Penny Roma, at which we’ve been meaning to eat ever since they opened. Flour+Water has a pasta shop from which we had purchased a few pasta dinners since the pandemic, so we were familiar with many of the pasta dishes and Penny Roma is

Caruso’s
We’re here in SB, so checking out some of the places to eat of course. Last night, we had a very enjoyable casual meal at Corazon Concina in the Public Market. Today we were going for a fancier venue. Caruso’s is a Cal-Italian restaurant at the Rosewood Miramar with a beachfront location. We were fortunate

Acquerello (White Truffle Tasting)
This week’s dinner was at Acquerello. This is IMO the best Italian restaurant in SF (although I certainly haven’t tried them all). I know I’ve been going here since as far back at least as 2001 (have pictures) when I lived on Franklin St. just a few blocks away. Even though it’s had 2-Michelin stars,
