Ottimista Enoteca Cafe - San Francisco

Friendly staff and decent wine selection. I've been several times no at varying days and times. I've been noticing a slight decrease in quality of service and even the food. I recently got one of the pizzas and the sun dried tomatoes were burnt black beyond recognition and taste. Good spot to grab a glass of wine but there are definitely stronger wine bar options popping up in the Marina.

Great wine bar to take a date if you are in the marina/cow hollow. quaint atmosphere that has an outdoor patio area with heat lamps. great selection of wine and spirits with a friendly staff. they also have a full menu that is reasonably priced.

However, when sitting at a table, the service tends to falter; it can be slow and inattentive. On my latest visit, I was served a dirty plate, and when I requested a replacement, it came back with grime again! We found ourselves getting up several times to place orders and to settle our bill. That said, the food and drinks are excellent. The cocktails are top-notch, and the wine list is impressive. Don't miss out on the bruschettas or the arugula and prosciutto pizza—both are delicious!

The pepperoni pizza is straightforward yet delicious, offering great value. There are plenty of other pizza options to choose from, as well as an extensive selection of drinks beyond just wine. The cheese plate is also impressive, featuring Fontina cheese.

The food is delicious and the cocktails are fantastic. There is great outdoor seating, the staff is friendly, and they usually have the game on at the bar.
