I had a wonderful experience! We were seated at a romantic table on the balcony, The service was great and our server was extremely knowledgeable, even telling us that our bottle of wine was corked. The food was delicious. I had a bread salad and salmon in an orange sauce, which was fantastic, and my boyfriend raved about the pork. all in all a perfect night out. more

Best I Will EVER Know - I miss it already! 9/10/2006

Remembering how good this place is makes me want to cry. This was 'our' spot - every meal we ever had here blew our minds - I don't think I will ever eat this good again. This was our #1 recommendation to friends, clients, colleagues, family, etc. and we will be back on our vacations. Our only regret is we no longer live in SF to enjoy this special restaurant, on a special street, in an incredible neighborhood, in the best city in the US. Advice: Make reservations a month in advance, ask for the upstairs seating (overlooking the kitchen if available), ask the waiter for a wine recommendation (they always pick the best one), and sit back and order the menu (cheese plate, dinner, desert, coffee). Everything about this place says class and San Francisco. Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere Cons: parking, parking, parking more

In spite of the parking this is a must go. 9/2/2006

Small and intimate, with an extremely friendly and experienced staff. The figs and prosciutto are the best we have had. Few entree choices, but all are wonderfully prepared. The wine list is well chosen and peppered with unusaul bottles (try the Browns Zin). No dinner is complete without the bread pudding. Pros: food was terriffic Cons: not cheap more

Great food, humble digs 8/6/2006

Just stumbled into this place taking some visitors around. Truly good cooking here. Great risotto, prawns that actually taste like prawns. Gnocchi with actual flavor. Low-key atmosphere. Great. Wine list could use spiffying up. more

Best romantic dinner/date spot 7/19/2006

abbylax3 Provided by Partner
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I've had dinners here several times and without fail it is always very delicious. Their duck entree is fabulous, so is the risotto, the pork loins... oh and their bread pudding is really very, very, DELICIOUS! I had a lovely dinner for 2 there this past weekend - we had a nice table for 2 upstairs. Our waitress was great - she knew the food and wine well and confidently gave suggestions that my guest and I much appreciated. The ambiance was cozy, romantic and in a way relaxing. I found out about this place through friends that live nearby and this is one of their staple restaurants; and I have recommended this place to other people, who have had great things to say about it, too. Hope you will enjoy as much as my friends and I have! Pros: Good wine, dessert, food Cons: It can get warm upstairs, but it's well worth it (I think) for the food. more

One of our favorite SF restaurants! 5/11/2006

Without fail, Frascati delivers a wonderful dining experience. The food is fantastic and the menu always offers an interesting selection. We had at least two different wait staff take care of us in addition to our waiter, so the service is exemplary. We are SF foodies, and this is where I choose to spend my birthday dinner celebration with my wife. Our blackberry cobbler even came with a candle on it! Our waiter always seems to have an interest in the food he delivers and what you might enjoy. We always try to get the table overlooking the restaurant on the balcony. It is a good people-watching spot. Frascati is a wonderful, romantic setting that always delivers pleasant memories. Pros: ambiance, wine list!!!!, food quality Cons: dark corners more

Good Food, Bad Service 5/6/2006

Went to Frascati on May 4 - hadn't been there for years. The food was great - we had the mussels and gnocchi to start, followed by the halibut, duck pork. Service, unfortunately, was lacking - after taking our order, our waiter was not to be seen again until after our entrees arrived, and then only to take our dessert order and drop off the check. We sat with empty water glasses for ten minutes and finally had to ask for refills. Butter was requested twice and never came. Not once did our wine glasses get refilled. Despite the good food, it's hard to want to return when the service is non-existent. Pros: food, portions Cons: service, loud more

Aweful Disabled Accessibility 3/3/2006

Let me start off by saying the restaurant is nice and somewhat humble in its decor; its astuter style present a power-trip atmosphere design to impress your company, through its over flatted price that are artistic while yummy! Disabled access is beyond horrible. The place is crowded with barely no walk way space for patroons for the waiters/waitress themselves. I was bumped by them throughout the entire night. The lavatory was lead by a downward narrow spiral stairs. The lavatory itself is EXTREMELY small as I barely was able to close the door while being inside--and I'm a small azn guy! Cons: parking, disabled access more

Well I live in the neighborhood, and I love Frascati. I've got nothing bad to say...it's a perfect example of dinning experience matched to the price range. So it's no Gary Danko, but it's not anywhere near as expensive. Get a reservation and enjoy. Pros: value, food quality Cons: parking more
