"This classic San Francisco haunt has recently been revamped, but the cozy cherry leather seats, open kitchen, and always-packed, rowdy bar up front remain as charming as ever. Tosca blends fresh Californian ingredients with an Italian sensibility. Order both the bucatini and crispy pig ears, and don't miss the tiramisu for dessert. Imbibers: Tosca is famed for its house cappuccino (not an actual one, it's made with cappuccino mix, cream, armagnac and bourbon). It's a prime spot for date nights, although the bigger booths make it a great option for larger parties, too." - Kimberley Lovato, Jenna Scatena
