Last night I went with friends to a San Francisco Italian restaurant that has been open since 1956, but is sadly closing in about a week: Caesar’s. I’m posting this quick post as a suggestion to visit it while you can. It was packed last night (and noisy!) so make a reservation soon, and bring patience because it took a while to get our food and they were out of many items. Despite their business our waiter was efficient and helpful even while obviously rushed.
Art nouveau bar. I wonder where it came from, or what bar was here before Caesar’s?
The dining room has been remodeled recently but there are a few booths and the tables and chairs looked vintage.
I ordered the house specialty, Cannelloni Alla Romana.

Crab Cioppino
Petrale Dore
Ravioli
It’s sad to see another San Francisco classic close its doors.
Arrivederci, Caesar’s.

Peter, I can’t believe I had never been there before last night! It’s a race against time, huh?
