The 16 Best Italian Restaurants In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation
"Original Joe's has two main draws. First, a dining room that's fun enough for birthdays, a wedding, and even the occasional rap video shoot. And second, the spicy vodka rigatoni, which is mandatory for every visit to this old-school Italian American spot in North Beach. The chicken parmigiana and gigantic meatballs are solid enough but not anything out of the ordinary. As long as your expectations are set to "a fun night out with one fantastic pasta," you'll be very happy you decided to brave the wait to get a table (unless you’re lucky enough to score a reservation)." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
