Excellent Fisherman's Wharf dining option

by bhebdon at Citysearch

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.

Uneven quality of food and service

by scoobycat at Citysearch

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.

  • Pros: nice room
  • Cons: seafood not local

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.

  • Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Food

Many thanks to the great staff!

by curious_georgie at Citysearch

I stopped in on a whim after shopping and was extremely pleased with my experience at Cafe Pescatore. I wasn't really sure what to order, but the general manager offered some great suggestions, and everything was delicious! The staff was prompt and helpful, and being able to eat outside was a definite plus. A great find for the locals, who I think tend to shy away from the Fisherman's Wharf area. I'll be back!

  • Pros: friendly staff, great food, good value
