14 Excellent Old-School Italian Restaurants In SF
"There’s controlled chaos at Sotto Mare. The Italian seafood spot in the heart of North Beach is the rowdier, louder cousin of Scoma’s down on Fisherman’s Wharf. There are life-sized swordfish on the wall, orders flying across the kitchen on a clothesline, and as many tourists as there are locals tying on plastic bibs. You’ll need one, too, for the seemingly bottomless vats of cioppino and plates of good old-fashioned linguine with clams." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
