The 16 Best Italian Restaurants In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"What we love about Caffe Macaroni near Jackson Square is its rotating menu of typically hard-to-find Neapolitan dishes. One day you may have a squid ink risotto, and another, spaghetti studded with garlic, tomatoes, and olives and topped with crispy cod. While you eat, the only thing you’ll hear is the small talk between the chefs and the owner in the open kitchen that’s steps away from the row of tiny tables. Be prepared to be looped into any conversation and a complimentary limoncello shot to end your meal." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
