Informal and fun atmosphere for this greek restaurant. We love the salads and the fries there. Yumi!

Delicious italian food in a cute neighborhood, just 10 minutes walk from the listing. Go early though as they don't take bookings so you have to put your name on a list. You can walk around beautiful Hayes Valley while waiting! Our favorite: the menu changes constantly, so hard to tell you, ah! Any kind of pasta they make, we love! Gian also likes the pizza there. It’s closer to traditional italian pizza - don’t expect US style pizza ;)

Lively Mexican eatery. Our favorite: the Quesadilla Roja con Chicharrón - Mulato chile-corn tortilla, crispy pork belly, salsa cascabel, jack cheese, queso fresco, onion and cilantro. It’s heavy though, you’re warned ;) Their housemade strawberry-limon beverage is great with that.

The hippie and civil rights movement were born here. It was a beautiful neighborhood then and it's just as beautiful now. However, now it's much more expensive to live there. Stroll along Haight Street and find all sorts of bars, exotic clothing shops, places to eat, Jimmi Hendrix' very own Red House and tons of other cool places.
