Neighborhood gem
Charming
Great for outdoor dining

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!

Jim, the sommelier, is fantastic. He has a knowledge that is impressive and never steers us in the wrong direction, Sometimes the servers are a little slow to start but always friendly. The food is solid and continually changes to reflect the season. The atmosphere is not special but there's something quite cozy about it all.

Food for one person was not good. Meatloaf was really awful. Should have returned it. Service was good and other food was good.

Sociale is one of my favorite restaurants. I have not been there since before the pandemic. The ambience and service were great. However, the food was bland tasting. It was nicely presented but it needed more spices. In fact, I told the server the dish I ordered needed garlic. I will continue to go there and explore the menu because I am confident this one dish was not indicative of how all food is prepared.

New Year’s Eve set menu with wine pairings. Dinner was 4 courses with many options. Delicious and portions appropriate for 4 courses. Service a bit rushed at the end.
