I ordered the ravioli served with an orange/rosemary sauce and it was light - for ravioli- and delicious. More

I tend to be leery of Italian restaurants on Columbus Ave. but glad I tried Rose Pistola. It's just far enough off the tourist route that actual San Franciscans eat there. Real crispy, thin crust pizza and attentive wait staff. More

There were many options listed, but I chose this one b/c of it's varied menu my wife could order from. It's in North Beach area which is of course the Italian haven of SF.

Fresho with open kitchen. I always want to go across town to Beretta or Delarosa but they are both so far away.

the garlic appetizer makes you smell for two days, but it's so good it's worth the odor More
