Precita Social

Bernal Heights’s Lowbrow-Highbrow Restaurant Precita Social Is a Winner | Eater SF

"More low-key than Greg Lutes’s nearby 3rd Cousin, this Bernal Heights newcomer, opened at the end of summer 2025, honors his nostalgic side with the same careful technique and precision and a menu that still maintains a level of class. A tonkotsu agnolotti special showcases a deeply rich broth while marrying Italian and Japanese cuisine; among the must-order starters, roasted baby carrots arrive in a little cast-iron pan atop tzatziki, with grapes and almonds adding pops of sweetness and crunch, and thin-cut disco fries come dressed in a salty gravy—I only wish there were more of that sauce. Don’t skip the Strauss Dairy soft-serve sundaes: choose between Dubai chocolate and a rocky road that leans strawberry and toasted marshmallow rather than chocolate, and each is creamy, huge, and well-composed. The room wears handsome blues and browns with little succulents and windows looking out to Precita Park; wear something nice, but don’t overdo it." - Paolo Bicchieri
