Sociale (say - "SO-SHEE-AH-LAY!") was born in the bistros of Florence and raised here in Presidio heights. Laughter and Italian music are heard floating up from the star-lit, heated patio greeting you from the discreet garden alley below. Families and friends leaving the frenetic pace of the city behind can experience a lighter and decidedly more Italian mood celebrating in our new private dining room, the traditional room or on the patio as the irresistible scents of warm pastas, herb-infused meats, and the sweet honey and nut coated sfingi with vanilla bean gelato shake permeate the surrounding space. Bewitching and eclectic wines from Italy and California complement the weekly changing menus that Chef Julio Mis crafts with joy and delight for our neighborhood friends!

    While the noise level is very high, the food and service is excellent!! The beet salad was possibly the best either of us have ever eaten, the agnolotti is exceptional, and the chocolate desert was rich without over doing it! What a fantastic evening we were able to share at a truly exceptional restaurant in SF. Thanks for making it special.

    We booked a reservation for two on a Friday night for our anniversary. We had passed by the restaurant for years and finally decided to try! Shelia at the hostess booth was warm and welcoming and got us seated at a cozy table away from everyone for our romantic evening. Delia, our server, took exceptional care of us. She offered very helpful insight to our order to make sure we were ordering things that complimented one another and helped so we didn’t order too much! Food was so nostalgic and good, everything we ordered was perfect. They were even sweet enough to bring us out a small dessert plate and two glasses of bubbly for our special night. We can’t wait to come back with friends !
