Italian food
#1
OK, it is easy to find middlin-to-bad Italian food, but hard to find really good Italian food. The Grrl and I have been to this place a few times and it was always good. Fresh specials that change daily, someone in the kitchen who still cares about the food, slow but convivial "Euro" service.

I ate there yet again this past Saturday, with a couple of friends in tow. One who has been to Italy many times, one who is half Italian and can cook. First time for both. Verdict: As close to Italy as you can get, food-wise.

Anti-pasti: Baby Octopus in a surprisingly delicate tomato sauce over a mild cooked sauerkraut. Oysters and papaya cocktail. Capaccio.

Mains: Mushroom ravioli with a mushroom reduction and truffle-oil, seafood risooto, pasta con olio (al dente, natch).

Good house wines (I'm told) and the espresso was damn good, too.

Where?

Caffe Macaroni. Bad name, great food. North Beach, Frisco
