A16 Alternative near California and Presidio?

[dordogne]

We're going to an event at California and Presidio and would like to have an early dinner beforehand within walking distance in order to avoid two frustrating quests for parking. A16 is booked (and a bit too far in any case). Any suggestions for places of comparable style/execution?

osteria and garibaldi have been family staples for a while. haven't tried sociale yet

Ella's does dinner now. The menu looks good, and from what I have seen walking by, it looks delicious

Skip Osterio: It's solid but nothing special. Sociale is better and more intimate as well.

Sociale isn't far from there on Sacramento.

Tatertot had a good suggestion and I agree. Osteria is a good place and its at Sacramento and Presidio Streets. I tried gnocchi with gorgonzola cream sauce and it was thoroughly enjoyable.

How about Osteria? I really enjoyed dinner here. It has good Italian food. The atmosphere is more down to earth and cozy.

415 (on Presidio at California) is a good substitute. Although the food is with an Asian flare, not Italian, food is delicious topped off with a good sake list and a full bar.
