Charming
Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining

Sociale (say - "SO-SHEE-AH-LAY!") was born in the bistros of Florence and raised here in Presidio heights. Laughter and Italian music are heard floating up from the star-lit, heated patio greeting you from the discreet garden alley below. Families and friends leaving the frenetic pace of the city behind can experience a lighter and decidedly more Italian mood celebrating in our new private dining room, the traditional room or on the patio as the irresistible scents of warm pastas, herb-infused meats, and the sweet honey and nut coated sfingi with vanilla bean gelato shake permeate the surrounding space. Bewitching and eclectic wines from Italy and California complement the weekly changing menus that Chef Julio Mis crafts with joy and delight for our neighborhood friends!

Always a treat to eat outdoors with rain all around, but warm & dry in their covered patio. Service, food and ambience uniquely excellent. Wine list is extensive and the Som very professional. As mentioned, Sociale is a treat.

Imaginative food, ingredients combined with unpretentious wait staff. Wine list all Italian: maybe a few house wine bottles for the uninitiated would be nice

Beautiful dining patio down a cute alleyway in Presidio Heights. Christmas lights, heaters, comfortable yellow lighting, not too loud and great service. The ambiance was 10/10 for our group of 4. Food and wine pairings were fantastic, everything we ordered was delicious but especially recommend the fritto misto, rigatoni, and banana bread pudding.

Visited for my husband’s birthday and left feeling pretty underwhelmed. The ambiance is nice but the food was so salty. We got the meatloaf which was so expensive and just salty and dense and the sausage pasta which was just alright. The profiteroles tasted stale and they didn’t do a candle or anything for my husband’s birthday. Maybe it was just an off experience but it was disappointing.
