Locanda
San Francisco, California
Enjoy a bit of Rome right in the Mission district with a visit to Locanda. Food highlights include the fried sweetbreads and artichokes, the roasted squash, the lamb chops, and anything containing the pasta that's made fresh on-site. Equally impressive, however, is the cocktail list, sporting many drinks incorporating Italian elixirs, and the wine list, which boasts vintages from all around the ancient Roman empire. The only omission we saw? No Caesar salad.
