Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Haight

We hosted a birthday dinner for a group of 12 here last night, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. It is incredibly rare to find such authentic, traditional Pugliese dishes in SF—some of these plates are so hyper-regional they feel exotic even to native Italians! Our table was full of Italian expats with very exacting standards, and the food completely exceeded everyone's expectations. The meal was spectacular from start to finish. The traditional, high-quality cheeses and cured meats were the perfect start, and you can truly taste the care they put into sourcing their fresh produce—the artichokes, which come straight from a friend’s farm, were unbelievable. But the absolute standout of the night was the paccheri; it is made from the chef’s mother’s recipe and it absolutely shows. We finished off the night with a round of their decadent desserts, which were the perfect end to the meal. Beyond the incredible food, the service was flawless. The restaurant itself is such a warm, cozy space, making it perfect for a celebration. I also have to highlight how communicative and helpful the team was prior to the dinner. Coordinating a large group with various dietary requests is never easy, but they accommodated every single need seamlessly. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Every dish was delicious, service was warm and efficient and the space is lovely and airy.

Outstanding service and food. Would definitely recommend. Fantastic experience.

10 out of 10 experience! The service was friendly, warm, and knowledgable. Little touches like how quickly they refolded a napkin when a person got up from the table and how the kitchen was able to accommodate our group splitting the lamb chops with one being at a different temperature, really impressed me. This is an SF institution for a reason, and I can't wait to come back!

Delicious farm to table entree selection with unique combinations that were both substantial and delightful. Small plates were delicious and plated beautifully. We had the Zero Proof drinks and they were the best we’ve had. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer staff.
