The Best Restaurant Patios In Oakland - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"There’s something a bit European about the sidewalk patios that flank either side of this Italian restaurant. Expect abundant people watching, a steady stream of cars rolling by thanks to a nearby major Rockridge intersection, and wine cocktails that inspire slow sips and catch-ups with friends. Opting for the patio also means getting a table much quicker, especially on colder days, since the dining room is small and typically packed. Go for the standout $10 spaghetti (add meatballs), and whatever seasonal vegetable dish is on the menu that day." - julia chen 1, lani conway
