The Scene
This narrow spot with loft-like ceilings is located in a strip mall, making it feel tres L.A. However, it's the property of local restauranteur Pascal Rigo, the man responsible for Cortez and Bay Bread Boulangerie--the latter provides the cafe's pastries. A sign near the front door displays the rules: order at the counter, grab a number, then relax and wait to be served.
The Food
Fresh ingredients are used to create the delicious cafe fare. Ultra-thin, flaky pizzas made with pastry bread are works of art. For starters, order the juicy tomato pie with fontina and goat cheese; the Rigolo-signature pizza is more substantial--layered with spinach, mushrooms, pancetta and a baked, runny egg. If the kitchen is out of its popular pulled-pork sandwich, opt for an open-faced chicken offering. The melted white cheddar and thick, organic country bread does its best to cut the three-alarm spice of pickled jalapenos.

I have never eaten anything at Rigolo I have not loved! From the delicious French toast to the spicy chicken sandwich to the unbelievable pizzas to the lasagna and the tuna melt, everything is fresh and amazing. The décor is stylish yet comfortable and the staff friendly without being overbearing. I love that you can feel at ease whether you have children with you, are meeting friends for brunch or are swinging by to grab a quick but healthy bite to eat. Additionally, the fact that there is a plethora of parking makes Rigolo hard to beat in my opinion. It’s a perfect spot for any meal and any occasion!

Rigolo has, hands down, one of the best nicoise salads I have ever had and their Mac & Cheese is out of this world. I am a huge fan of their bottomless Nutella and their champagne-it's the best. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for an afternoon lunch or for a large, casual group for dinner. The service is great-they are very attentive even though it is basically serve yourself. You order from the counter and have a seat. The banana and blueberry pancakes are very tasty and full of fruit so basically Rigolo is great for all meals, at all times of the day.

Rigolo is one of my favorite places to eat! Everything is fresh and delicious. I love popping in on a cold SF day and getting a bowl of french onion soup. Or a great burger to fill me up! The menu is simple but it definitely doesn't detract from the quality of the food. The staff is super friendly and the inside is clean and modestly decorated. You order and the food is brought to your table.
