"This old-school Italian restaurant has been open for a few decades and is stuck in 1987, in the best possible way. It feels like somewhere you’d go with your whole extended family to celebrate an anniversary or a soccer championship. And having that many people would be a good idea so you can get every massive bowl of pasta on the menu, along with the veal saltimbocca. You’re definitely going to need to-go boxes when you come to this Russian Hill/North Beach spot, so make sure you’ve got room in your fridge before you leave." - will kamensky, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
