Prakash Nair: Hands down the best rotisserie chicken in SF. Don't miss their buccatini. Top 10 fav restaurants.
Esquire: Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Tosca’s is a monument to chrome and red leatherette and burnished wood. Good drinks, too.
6. The Old Clam House
8.1
299 Bay Shore Blvd (at Oakdale Ave), San Francisco, CA
Seafood Restaurant · 30 tips and reviews
Chuck Coulson: So happy to see this SF institution reopened! And the menu has kept many of the classics. Look past the exterior decor which are a bit reminiscent of a kitschy beachside seafood spot.
Peacheaz Brown: The place is under new management...food is not as good.
M K: Been coming here for 20 years with my dad. It's not nearly the dive it once was, but every meal still starts off with fresh French bread and a shot of clam juice.

754 Columbus Ave, San Francisco, CA
Chocolate Store · North Beach · 46 tips and reviews
Mark Kokanovich: Eat these wonderful truffles and share them with people that you care about. Don't miss the hazelnut truffles.
Brad B: Don't eat 20 truffles in one sitting.
Jeremy Bargar: These bad boys are handmade in-house (if you're lucky, right in front of your eyes). After tasting these wax-free delights you'll be hard-pressed to go back to anybody else's truffles.

Bakery · Japantown · 39 tips and reviews
Taminator: Incredible buttery aroma, great macarons and beautiful delicious baked goodies, and of course, D's Nutz (cronuts SF version) they have 60-70 daily except Tue. Sat. special flavor such as maple bacon!
Danny Nguyen: Check out the bake goods here at this ship on filmore!
Kiana Lynn: Cronuts are only made Wed-Sunday, available at 9am (usually gone by 11:30am)...and it's Tuesday :(
Bettina Pancho: MUST: lobster bisque and the popovers with strawberry butter. GET IT AND YOU WONT REGRET IT
Therese Gratia: Delicious cheese plate app. Tasty Ahi Tuna app as well! And of course, the bread and butter are unusually good.
Tony Ocava: The traditional chicken broth and fantabulous popovers are worth making the trip. Make the lobster bisque a staple. Unfortunately, for me, the fun ended with the appetizers. Ive had better pricewise.

Ice Cream Parlor · Inner Sunset · 59 tips and reviews
Grega Katalin: Favorite gelato in town! Try the goat cheese with strawberry or the lavender with vanilla bean and dark chocolate.
Jason S.: When you go, try these flavors: Condoleezza Rice Pudding, Tarmack, Honey Lavender. Then take your time perusing all the tea-related paraphernalia.
Sean Jacobs: WHAT?! Goat cheese ice cream! OMG. honestly mind blowing. a must try! such phenominal flavor options!

Rachel Weidinger: $8 zabaglione is the best I've had in SF so far. Perfect date dessert, worth going for that alone.
Jeremy D.: Hate to be this guy, but it's the truth: whoever the chef is could cook up human limbs and I'd still chow down. Incredibly delicious!!!
Pete Surber: Service is stellar-- the food? Not as awesome

Restaurant · North Beach · 107 tips and reviews
Barbara Stephenson: New brunch menu on the weekends is really good. They've upped their donut game but you'll find all your favorites like the salmon tartine, Joe's special, and the new Brunch Burger (get it).
Tasting Table: Keep with Italian-American tradition and have the obvious side dish of meat-filled, red-sauced ravioli: Read more.
Hana Na: Wednesday special: oxtail with veggies. HOLY. It's delicious!
