Cioppino in San Francisco: What It Is and Where to Eat It - AFAR

"Opened by Croatian immigrants in 1849, this 175-year-old Financial District institution feels like the oldest continuously operating restaurant in California (save for a pandemic pause), and I find its cioppino—a tomato-wine stew brimming with clams, mussels, shrimp, whitefish, and Dungeness crab—delicious; the recipe dates back at least 60 years and decades of experience show. The spot is old-school yet vibrant and buzzy, with white-jacketed bartenders, and besides cioppino it also serves seafood classics like the crab Louie salad." - Serena Renner
