Ristorante Bacco - San Andreas

This is surely one of the best restaurants in San Francisco. The food was prepared imaginatively and with great care, and was absolutely superb. Our party decided to dine here because we planned to attend an event close by, and the restaurant was convenient. We were pleasantly surprised at the absolutely excellent quality of the food, the friendliness and attentiveness of the service, and the comfortable ambiance--not over-the-top elegant, but completely accommodating and pleasant. It was like dining in a friend's home. Though we came to Bacco out of convenience, we will certainly return, because it is a gem.

The food at Bacco is always very good. The manager is delightful--friendly, responsive and on top of all the details. The cooks and bussers are working hard throughout every visit. HOWEVER, the server we have had several times either has too many tables to serve or isn't interested in a deuce because the tip won't be as high as a table with more people. Whatever his reason, he does not take the order unless the manager follows up with him. On every visit she has taken our drink and first course order and when he delivers the first course, he does us a favor by taking our main course order. We were there Saturday night and my main course was luke warm, meaning he let it sit on the counter while he did other things. It took literally 15 minutes to get him to bring the bill and then handle the credit card. We could see him talking to other customers but he had his back to us and couldn't be bothered. We are thinking really hard about whether we want to go back anytime soon. It's a shame but indifferent service is a turnoff even when the food is good.

We are the Sclar party that ate on your beautiful deck last night (Sat. All was delicious generous portions too, we all appreciated. One of the best aspect of the evening was the excellent service. Sorry don't remember waiter's name but he had a great attitude, gave us good info. on the food (also appreciated , and served our party of 6 at a very good pace (with humor even. Thank you! We went to your previous location but this experience was actually much better!

Wonderful meal. They were out of the Fiano and I really appreciated the tastes of similar wines to help choose a different one. We love Bacco.
