"Alioto’s, a family-run Italian-American restaurant known for its iconic turquoise-and-black signage and famous cioppino, is set to close permanently after nearly a century. The restaurant, which has been at Fisherman’s Wharf since 1925, has not paid rent since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in significant back rent. An agreement with the Port of San Francisco will allow the restaurant to end its lease, subject to approval by the Port Commission and the Board of Supervisors." - Lauren Saria

"A 1936 menu from Alioto’s has sparked discussions about historical prices on the SF ephemera Facebook group 'SF Remembered'. The 15 cent clam chowder from the past would cost about $2.70 today when adjusted for inflation." - Caleb Pershan

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food were quite affordable!! Managed to get some mains and soup at only 18.95. Ordered a pacific rockfish (first picture) and it turned out great!! Could taste the freshness of the fish! The other dishes were quite nice too, and as you can see the servings were quite generous too!

What an amazing place to eat! We were seated very quickly, the staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. My only regret is that I had the mussels, because they raised my expectations so high, I will never be satisfied with just any dish with mussels again. My boyfriend loved the chicken and fries, and the 7 year old loved the clam chowder, and sourdough.

Very busy restaurant serving seafood and Italian. Make sure to book as it can be hard to get a spot sometimes. The food is good and bad - both types of calamari were delicious, clam chowder very tasty and full of flavour, however the fish of the fish and chips were over cooked and the pan fried trout was too oily. Service was excellent as the waiter was very friendly.

Outstanding restaurant with excellent views. A good suggestion is to go for lunch. They do have an excellent lunch menu that is very reasonably priced for the quality of food and the location. Obviously dinner menu is going to be much more expensive and likely have larger servings, but you can really get a great experience and enjoy wonderful taste at lunch. The clam chowder soup is amazing, don't miss it.

Great location.. Really good tasting food. All preparations we ordered were really good. Good service. We went to the case on the ground floor. Other done in restaurant in the first floor also looked good. There were also lots of street food options in the side walk. Been service this area for a long time and the food explains how they sustained all through these years!

Ordered the steward seafood pot (I don’t remember the exact dish name) with a friend. I’d say that I expected something better. It’s not that it’s bad or what, it’s just not impressive (considering its price). And the service, when we arrived, we were lead to a table which should have been well sat up but was then got messed up by a random kid or else. The waiter just brought us there and we had to reorganize it by ourselves. But for else, the service is fine.

Besides the Louie dressing, everything was wonderful. Tasted very delicious. Wait time was only 5 minutes and seating was spacious with a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge. S.F. My city.

Beautiful surprise due to pier 39 closed for event prep. Came for early dinner just before sunset. Super classic ambience, every dish tastes so good, so this place is historical for a reason. Gorgeous view to harbour and hills. And proved my point that if you see lots of seniors dining here, you know it's a great restaurant.
