Excellent Fisherman's Wharf dining option. I travel to San Francisco regularly and always try to include a stop to this place when I stay in the wharf area. It is a great alternative to the glut of "tourist trap" type restaurants in the area. The service is prompt and attentive. The atmosphere is light and casual. Although there are several tasty dishes on the menu, I highly recommend the Caesar salad and the sea bass.…
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors. Located between North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf, this Italian trattoria offers a rustic menu of classics with an emphasis on seafood.
Uneven quality of food and service.
I live in San Francisco, not far from Cafe Pescatore, so I thought I'd try it out for dinner. I ordered the "crab" ravioli expecting it to be Dungeness crab, the SF delicacy. Instead, the
undercooked ravioli contained a strange catfood-like substance. I suspect it was fake crab or worse. Really not excusable at these prices or in the food mecca capitol that is SF. Also didn't love the tombo tuna - it had a vague metallic taste and was dry.
The service, while kindly enough, was not a fine dining experience. Our waiter was so busy trying to upsell us by going into a five minute speech about what he thought we should order that my girlfriend and I felt slightly exhausted and intruded upon.. I prefer a more subtle kind of service. Perhaps we simply got the tourist treatment.…
User review by bajaloie. While visiting the waterfront in San Francisco we happened on Cafe Pescatore. Sitting outside on the sidewalk patio we enjoyed awesome, yet casual service. The staff was attentive and ready to answer all our questions. After a wonderful lunch of seafood and pasta we finished with cappuccion and a delicious tiramisu. A special treat on our visit to the "City by the Bay".…
Loved It!. I stumbled on Cafe Pescatore while shopping at Cost Plus, what a find! My friends and I dined outside and sipped wine while munching on the best Calamari ever. We stayed for dinner and the staff was happy to oblige. The Cioppino was spicey and delicious.…
