Lived in Northern California and the Bay Area all of our lives and we never knew Sotto Mare existed till we saw your video. We there for lunch Sunday 4/30 and the Cioppino blew our socks off! It was that good. We watch your videos faithfully during lunch time. Hope to see you guys in Vegas on a trip there and hopefully get a selfie with you guys. 🤞 Joe and Rita

As a New Orleans native, only San Francisco can top my hometown when it comes to a combination of great food, run to ride cable / street cars and amazing views. I've had the cioppino at Palace Station but Sotto Mare's looks much better.

@maries1381 Жыл бұрын
Lisa I agree with you in regards to Swan's salmon being one of the best I have ever had!!! And I am a former New Yorker!!! :P There is definitely something special about theirs. The Shrimp Crab Louie salad is also a must order when I am there... and you must must must order that Sicilian sashimi next time you go!!! One of my kids went to University in SF and I had the pleasure of visiting OFTEN during her 3 years there (I live in Los Angeles so an easy escape). Being a foodie I definitely have my 'must go' when I am there (at least 1-2x a year now) and Swan is a must. For the best clam chowder and oysters I highly highly recommend Hog Island Oyster in the Ferry Building! What I love about their chowder is that is not thick... which for me allows to enjoy the deliciousness of their clams. They have an oyster farm in Tomales Bay ... their oysters are amazing and fresh! Oh, and one of the best bloody Mary's around!!! Their grilled cheese will also knock your socks off. I also love Sotto Mare for cioppino! Although, I have to say a few months ago I went to Betty Lou's around the corner from Soto and I actually like their cioppino a little bit better... perhaps it's because the owner use to work at Soto Mare and made it even a notch better! and Mike's wok crab is also an amazing and unforgettable dish! If you want yummy italian pastries go to Stella's Pastry also in Little Italy on Columbus and try a slice of their sacripantina cake. I am not a huge cake fan but this one is definitely on my top 3 list. Their cannoli's are a must too! So many great places to eat in SF! Now I'm craving Swan's!!!

Swan Oyster Depot is a cool, must-visit place. Just need to go there ONCE. I'd suggest ordering an Anchor Steam beer, a local beer. Philz Coffee is much better Starbucks. Get their iconic coffee drink, the Mint Mojito. Sotto Mare is an OK seafood restaurant. Good value though. A very popular place, especially tourists from S. Korea. I'd skip Sotto and grab couple slices of pizza at Golden Boy, a few steps away, or get focaccia from Liguria if you are in North Beach before 10:30am. Another a good place for lunch is Mario's Bohemian Cafe.

Aloha Bill and Lisa: Thank you for taking us along for the adventure to two iconic seafood restaurants. During these three years of the “pandemic-period,” I totally forgot about all of the delicious seafood served in San Francisco; we didn’t leave the East Bay much during this period. Now, we have to make-up for all the great fun lost. Looks like you both had a great time in San Fran; also, I am glad to see you both had a deliciously time dining on seafood. Interesting thought of mine: can you imagine pairing the salmon dish with a plain musubi - yummy to me 🤣! Best wishes and regards, to you and the family. Much 🤙 and 🧧!

Hello! I’m still convincing myself that every time I see Lisa eat oysters I am going to try oyster shooters one day!😅San Francisco is a beautiful city full of culture and amazing restaurants…but as a military brat we moved from the foggy weather (my Dad didn’t like the fog) to San Diego which has the best weather. Sourdough bread is best in San Francisco their sourdough culture strain has the best tang. I want to go to try the sashimi there…looks interesting with the oil drizzled…thanks for sharing the amazing treats and for another great video!

As good as the oysters look, still not for me. But, if you haven't tried it, go for it! The sashimi looked great, but would've put us over the top as we still had one more place to go. lol

You were right in my neighborhood. We call it North Beach (not Little Italy...that's more NYC). You're reminding me of all the excellent restaurants within spitting distance of my home in North Beach (close to the border of Fisherman's Wharf). Next time...be sure to go to Scoma's on the Wharf. Excellent food and killer location! I'm a SF native and I don't think I've ever been to Swan's Oyster Depot. I think the line was always daunting. Maybe I had it once during the pandemic...honestly that time is a bit of a blur. I leave tomorrow for a few months in NYC and when I return, I'm Swan's Oyster Depot bound!
