About:Venetian-style cuisine is the specialty here and the decor reflects that city's Carnival festivities. Inside there is a cornucopia of colorful Italian art pieces that liven up the bright dining room tended by a personable and efficient wait staff. The menu is small, usually featuring fish and meat that are offered along with the antipasti, rich soups and crispy salads. The preparation of everything is vibrant, and the house-made breads and desserts are some of the finest to be found in the city. The wine list is small but select with Italian and California vintages.

    I can't comment on the food since my party did not stay long enough to eat. The service was so poor that after being left for 20 minutes after seating and w/o having our orders taken we gave up and left and the restraunt was not especially busy. the staff simply doesnt care at all. they are poorly dressed and indifferent at best. if serve means anything this place isn't for you.

    Best Italian in SF... no question: Finally getting some recognition among the all too mercurial restaurant press in SF, Da Flora has for years been serving up some of the most outstanding and inventive food (in any cuisine) that SF has to offer. The ambiance is outstanding with deep red walls, cat butler candle holders, old Venetian curiosities on the wall, and Flora and her helpers creating an almost familial setting. The fresh homemade focaccia as well as the gnocchi appetizer are without question the best in the city. All the more amazing given their location in a North Beach full of cookie-cutter pasta joints, their unique menu changes frequently, and the unspoken rule from regulars is that you should reserve an early seating since popular dishes often run out by 8:30.
