Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in the SF Bay Area (including Berkeley, Oakland, Napa, Sonoma, Marin, and San Jose)

dinner tonight (Sun) near SF zoo

Any recommendations? Best choices are Italian or American/California as I have 2 small kids with limited palates. Mix of veg and non-veg. Thanks!

  1. Has anyone tried Ristorante Marcello on Taraval?

    1. re: jessinEC

      I really like Ristorante Marcello but Pizza Place on Noriega is better for kids. Outerlands is only open for brunch on Sunday

      1. Maybe Outerlands? That's high on my to-try list but I'm seldom out that way. Lots of enthusiastic reports here.

        1. re: Robert Lauriston

          That looked awesome, but it didn't open until 6 -- too late for us. So, we ended up going to Park Chow instead. Really tasty (except for my husband's veggie burger) and very kid-friendly. Of course, it was the Folsom St Fair so traffic getting back onto the bridge was miserable, so we ended up being super late anyway!

            Thanks for reporting back.

        2. If pleasing the kids is a primary concern, I think the Pizza Place on Noriega is a good bet. Very casual but the pizza is solid.

            I had some less than stellar slices and a meatball hero at lunch recently, that made me wonder if the quality has slid or I should just avoid lunch and/or slices.

            Had a better experience at dinner with a whole pie a year ago.
