Best Cozy Restaurants in Parkside

Our server was exceptional (table 56)! She was Warm, friendly, offered helpful suggestions and we never felt rushed… We live in the ‘hood and are glad to have such a wonderful restaurant among the many other West Portal gems!! We’ll be back soon! Congrats on being open almost a whole year (February 5th🎉🥳!!).

Totally amazing!!! Only comment I would say is that being a later seating 9:30 they really pushed food on us before we were done with the previous course. Not in such a manner that truly interrupted the experiance but we struggled to keep up with the two bottles of very special wines be brought to pair with the courses. Food was perfect and the server was spectacular! I love the policy of whosever card is first is the one that is charged it really keeps the arguing to a minimum. Sat at the front door with party of six and I was worried but never did we feel a draft or to much traffic really magnificent. Not sure if they have dessert but we were never offered a menu for it or ask about it. We did get a bowl of ice cream for the birthday which was very generous. Can’t wait to come back soon to see how this institution continues to improve! Truly can’t imagine many ways they could!

Che Fico is one of my favorite restaurants in SF. The service is always amazing and friendly and the food is amazing. Definitely best to go with people you can share with so you can try a variety of their offerings. Their focaccia, house cured meats, and the tritata salada are some of the highlights. You can't go wrong with their pizzas and pastas either.

I was so excited to make a dinner reservation at Dalida because I had watched Top Chef, and I wanted to support Chef Laura! My boyfriend and I celebrated his birthday there and Alta really took care of us. We got the chef’s menu, which we thought was such great value! They don’t really tell you what you’re going to get, until it has arrived at your table. It was really fun to keep trying every delicious surprise! All the food was very tasty and beautiful. I loved the stuffed mussels and the bread with assorted dips, in particular. We also got a few drinks, I got the Yogi Bear (NA) and my boyfriend got the Horse Warrior. Both were delicious and we were very pleased at how quickly the bar turned out our drinks. At the end, of course, they brought us a complimentary birthday dessert with a candle on it, in addition to the 2 desserts included in the Chef’s menu! Needless to say, we were stuffed. The ambiance was great, the room was well put together, and the service was all very attentive! 10/10 would recommend, for sure!

Casual and great ambiance. Generous portions for drinks and food. Staff was friendly.
