   Great chinese. Not upmarket, just the best your gonna eat. Don't use the menu if you want respect here. Just ask for what's good and you will be delighted!

The staff is friendly and enjoy what they are doing. The FOOD is what it is all about. They have been recognized and written up by several reviewers in Italy because they make a wonderful thin crusted Roman style pizza with top notch ingredients like imported prosciutto and fresh mozzarella. One of my favorite dishes are the thick grilled lamb chops with fresh herbs. They make all of their own pasta from scratch, with great results like squid ink fettuccine or delicious chestnut filled ravioli. They have a great wine list featuring moderately priced wines from both Italy and California. The large windows facing out on Columbus & Broadway create a nice "see and be seen" atmosphere. But if you want to hide from the street they have a cozy mezzanine section. Great for those who know what food in Italy is really like and won't settle for some of that stuff many pseudo Italian (American) places try to pass off as Italian. These young and enthusiastic guys were all born in Italy and really bring that gusto with them. The bread they bake fresh every couple of hours and serve with top grade olive oil for dipping is just one of the ways you can see they put their hearts into making their diners happy. They have only been open a year now and it is already a must on the lists of saavy diners who want top quality food at reasonable prices. Get there soon before it becomes impossible to get a table.close

   Really nice Italian Restaurant, located on Columbus Ave. Seating outside, really friendly staff, yummy food and nice wine! I tried the lobster ravioli and it was really good. Very busy too, you might have to wait for a seat, but we werent waiting long. Reasonably priced too.

   Sears has been around since 1938 and is an institution in San Francisco. It's so well known for its 18 Swedish pancakes with maple syrup and whipped butter that there is always a queue outside. Sear's is just next to Union Square so you can soak up the atmosphere and watch the cable cars going up... more Sears has been around since 1938 and is an institution in San Francisco. It's so well known for its 18 Swedish pancakes with maple syrup and whipped butter that there is always a queue outside. Sear's is just next to Union Square so you can soak up the atmosphere and watch the cable cars going up and down Powell St while you wait. And it is worth waiting for! Sear's is a bustling fun place and the food is great. I've only ever had breakfast here but they also serve lunch and dinner. The Swedish pancakes are light and fluffy and delicious! Whatever you do in San Francisco make sure to make a visit to Sears.close

   Do not go to San Fran without having breakfast at this diner!! It's about one block up the hill from union square. It gets busy at about 9am with tourists, but if you are alone, or perhaps a couple, you can usually skip the queue to eat at the bar.

    I love this place. Was in San Francisco for 5 days at ate there almost every day. They do great sandwiches and stuff but I went there for breakfast. Their lattes and bagels set me up nicely for the day. Friendly staff too.
