25 Classic Restaurants In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Yes, Scoma’s on Fisherman’s Wharf is a tried-and-true seafood classic, but Sotto Mare ultimately feels more like a party we want to be invited to again and again. It's a little divey and rambunctious, what with the life-size swordfish on the wall and tickets flying across the restaurant on a clothesline while the cooks grill scallops and plate humongous portions of linguine with clams. You're legally obligated to order the cioppino and wear the plastic bib that comes with it." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
