What People Are Saying About Joe DiMaggio's Italian Chophouse

In Short – Dark mahogany walls dotted with black-and-white photographs of DiMaggio and Monroe, quilted leather booths and elegant chandeliers create a masculine vibe in this New England-style steakhouse. Tuxedoed wait staff weave easily between the front bar area--which features live piano beginning at 7pm, a full bar and two TV screens--and the large, open-plan dining room. The menu consists of standbys like porterhouse steak and crab cakes, or adventurous choices like rabbit over polenta and pastas with oxtail.

Best Damn Chop House the City of SF!!!
by Johnnyddd at Citysearch
We loved the Joe Dimaggios' in SF. The food was fabulous, ambiance was authentic and the best!
Tracey Rice our Private Dining Mngr, is #1 in San Francisco and the service was incredible!! I highly recommend Joe's for the food, a party, place to meet or to go for great food, value for the money and service!!!
It was better than Harris, Morton's, Ruth Chris or Bob's Steak House. Also, JP at the Bar and Jared the GM treated us like VIP's! The party thanks to the expertise of Tracey and her staff was fun, hip, and delicious -- we picked the PERFECT PARTY PLACE!
We loved Joe Dimaggios Restaurant in SF as it is our new place to go for great steaks and chops, and the Italian part was great too! Keep it up!
- Pros: hosptiality, service, personalized attention
- Cons: none at all...

Great Food, Service -- Wonderful
by LoveTheMidwest at Citysearch
We visited Joe DiMaggio's on 8/16/08 while on vacation in San Francisco. The six people in our party found the food to be exceptional and the service wonderful. The food was wonderful ... from the glass of wine right down to the hot tea after dinner. It was one of the best meals we've had since moving to CA 6 years ago. If you go to Joe DiMaggio's and don't enjoy the food then your taste buds must be "off".
The restaurant called the next day to see how our experience was. When was the last time that happened at another restaurant?
We highly recommend this restaurant. We will visit again on our next trip to San Francisco.

Cheapens the memory of the Yankee Clipper - he would HATE it
by alexandradixon at Citysearch
I have not eaten here, but I walked in the other day and looked around, and I was appalled. As a San Francisco native, I would NEVER be caught patronizing this restaurant.
I grew up in San Francisco's Marina District and used to see Joe DiMaggio on the street sometimes - he was so private, dignified and elegant, I never dared to bother him or even acknowledge that I knew who he was.
Let me tell you, the HUGE blown up photograph of Marilyn Monroe on the walls of this restaurant must have Joe DiMaggio turning over in his grave. He would HATE that his name and private life is being commercialized and cheapened like this. It's like "the Yankee Clipper Disneyland ride."
The maitre d' told me that one of Joe DiMaggio's granddaughters is a partner in this restaurant. Well, I guess she didn't inherit his sense of class, is all I can say.
The Details on Joe DiMaggio's Italian Chophouse
Look Good:
A business casual dress code is required, which allows for jeans, but no tears and holes.
Parking:
Finding a spot in North Beach can be a headache, but the restaurant offers valet parking after 5pm; plus, there is a bus stop across the street (45 Union).
The Extras:
A banquet-style room toward the back accommodates private parties of up to 20.
