Four Barrel is the best overall, then it's Wrecking Ball and Ritual, then Sightglass and Ma'velous. Pick one that's convenient.<br /><br />Wine: Terroir, Arlequin and a tiny shop in the Dogpatch called Dig. Bi-Rite has a nice selection as well.<br /><br />Food: Aziza, Slanted Door, Nopa, La Ciccia, Swan's Oyster Depot (unless Marshal Store can be on the agenda), Foreign Cinema, there's a ton of pizza- Una Pizza and Tony's for magical proper styles, Gialina for something creative, A16 for a glass of Turasi. Bar Tartine, Presidio Social Club. There's a little chunk of Petrero Hill with several good restos namely Chez Maman, Chez Papa, and Papito, which stands out, serving delicious tacos in a metropolitan area with too much gringofied Mexican food. La Note for Breakfast in Berkeley is reason enough to start an East Bay excursion, otherwise Ella's for chicken hash. <br /><br />Dessert: Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous. If you see something called kouign-amann from Starter Bakery, eat it, then walk it off up some hill.

Let Lorella pick a wine off their list for you.<br /><br />Una Pizza Napolitana is great, but he moved from New York a couple years ago so you might already have eaten his pizza.<br /><br />Everyone loves State Bird Provisions, but we haven't eaten there yet.<br /><br />I second Zuni.<br /><br />Honestly, the most exciting stuff is going on in the East Bay right now. Camino is our go-to, so if you're interested definitely get a hold of Cory. Commis is amazing, as is Ippuku. The best wine bar in the Bay Area right now is The Punchdown in Uptown Oakland (right off the 19th Street BART stop). Hopscotch and Fusebox are also doing some really interesting things. Also, all the best taco trucks are on International in Oakland (only go for lunch and don't make eye contact with anyone).<br /><br />-Ms. Saignee<br /><br />PS. Only tourists say San Fran.
