Whatever, Bella’s gnocchi is the lightest in the city. The tomato sauce was neither too thick nor thin; it perfectly complemented the spicy sausage and coated the gnocchi without drowning it.

The first words out of the hostess’s mouth were not, “Hello, how are you?” they were “ do you have a reservation?” Despite repeatedly telling her we had a 7 pm reservation for which we were 5 minutes late, she kept clicking on someone else’s 7.30 reservation and asking us if that was ours.

Fortunately these guys did not, it was quite a well-balanced and flavorful combination of tomatoes, olives, and basil on lovely crisp bread. The spinach salad was not memorable. It was not well seasoned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For our entrees, my husband had the Pasta Norcina which was to be orecchiette with chicken and mushrooms baked in a bèchamel, They ran out of orecchiette, and it got substituted by rigatoni. This wouldn’t have been a problem except they decided not to inform us of this fact as a result of which when the entrees arrived, we spent some time wondering whether we got the wrong order and then trying to attract the attention of our server to confirm this. Still quite a good dish, bursting with rich deep flavor. I got the housemade gnocchi with sausage and tomato sauce, which was very good. The gnocchi was some of the best I’ve had, excellent light and fluffy, words which should be, but rarely are associated with gnocchi. It was in a well-balanced tomato sauce with just the right amount of heat and a tasty Italian sausage. This dish was the highlight of the evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For dessert we ordered the tiramisu and the panna cotta. The tiramisu was good, very light and soft, with just the right touch of espresso soaked ladyfingers as a base. The panna cotta, sadly, was not good at all. It had a rubbery texture and was devoid of flavor without the accompanying strawberries. We did not finish it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With just one standout dish, we certainly felt this was not worth the amount of money we spent here. I may do a take out of pasta the next time, don’t think we’ll return to the restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was in a well-balanced tomato sauce with just the right amount of heat and a tasty Italian sausage. This dish was the highlight of the evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For dessert we ordered the tiramisu and the panna cotta. The tiramisu was good, very light and soft, with just the right touch of espresso soaked ladyfingers as a base. The panna cotta, sadly, was not good at all. It had a rubbery texture and was devoid of flavor without the accompanying strawberries. We did not finish it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Could be missed easily if you’re not looking for it. The interior is a tall space with a few tables and a bar. It was not as noisy as other SF restaurants. Husband and I could hold a conversation easy. The lighting could be better. There was a couple sitting near us who were holding their phone up to read the menu. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The restaurant interior is grungy restaurant done up in an unfinished concrete style with partial pain, very much reflecting a boathouse or workshop interior which they were probably shooting for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My one issue with this restaurant was the layout. SF restaurants are notoriously cramped, but this one was just really problematic. Long rectangular space, a third of which is taken up along its length by a bar. Tables lining up on the other side and thrown in up front. The wait staff deserve medals for keeping their wonderful demeanors in a work environment where they are consistently skirting food around people. At one point when it got busy, we had people’s posteriors in our faces there’s so little room. No matter how great food is at a place, it’s not worth that. There’s one table right in front of the door that is pretty much packed around with people staring at you while you eat. In total there are about 8 tables inside and 4 out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from the food, which we loved, I’d like to commend the staff. They were great. We were seated within 15 minutes of our arrival without a reservation. The first table they showed us was right in front of the restroom. We asked for another and were allowed to wait until another opened up. They were quite gracious about it. The ladies were, there was guy a there who really was not too happy about us disliking anything. Our food showed up fairly quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regarding the food: One of the appetizers was bread and butter. Levain toast with butter. Good bread and good butter, but really, should this be served up as an appetizer you pay for? The answer is always no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My entree was a dish of spring vegetables with a roasted chicken bouillon broth. It was light yet extremely deep and flavorful with herbs. It had slices of kumquats, which offered wonderful piquancy. Crunch of snap peas paired wonderfully with chewy buckwheat orzo. Cilantro complemented the dish perfectly. Baby radish, mushroom, giblets, all worked wonderfully. I cannot give enough praise to the gorgeousness that was this dish. I also had the ginger-lemon apple cider, which was fantastic! It was a cold spring day and this really hit the spot. The ginger and lemon were well-balanced and played well together without overshadowing the cider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband had the duck confit. He’s not very much of a duck person, but he really liked the combinations of flavour of this dish. Rich, meaty confit paired very well with sweet and salty prunes and greens. The potatoes could have been better seasoned and were unremarkable. They would have added to the dish had they been crisper. He also had a glass of Sonoma Coast 2010 Pinot Noir County Line, which he did not like too much. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Desserts here were very creative and excellent. We shared the salted caramel pot de mousse which was amazing. Just enough chocolate as a top layer. It was served with crunchy caramel popcorn, which was an excellent foil for the smooth mousse. Sweet without being overtly so. We also shared the strawberry-almond shortcake, which was sort of like a deconstructed shortcake with the strawberry portion being served as a mousse on the side of almond cake. Loved the combination. Didn’t quite like the Meyer lemon slices on it. Didn’t feel like the dish needed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a good restaurant. Good, not great, but I realize it is the only one of its kind around where it is. This must be the reason for the hype. If anyone were looking for something in this area, it would be the first restaurant I’d recommend them to.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It is a vegetarian restaurant sitting in a wonderful warehouse type space in Fort Mason with large lofty ceilings and a beautiful view of the Marina, the Golden Gate, and its eponymous bridge. As far as space alone goes, few can compare with this. We’ve been here too many times to count in the years we’ve lived here, and this restaurant has yet to disappoint. It has a solid wait staff that is attentive and courteous. It helps to make a reservation since the restaurant is very popular. We had for this time that we visited yet again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the wonderful things we’ve found about the food here is that it is as fresh and wholesome as one can find at any restaurant. This time we visited for their spring menu. We had a cold appetizer of fresh spring rolls, a dish that showcases the flavor of the vegetable very well. It plays off with the flavor of the mint. This along with the peanut sauce is fantastic. The warm cauliflower salad was a revelation. Well-cooked cauliflower with some crispy edges tossed with a fabulous tarragon mustard vinaigrette. The salty capers and pine nuts just add good contrast to the dish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the entrees we tried was a butternut squash and sweet potato gratin, a very filling dish rife with many textures and flavors, all complementing each other superbly with a little bit of each in every bite. The texture of the gratin plays very well with the grilled polenta and kale and chard it is served with. The other entree was a red curry served with rice.

It is a vegetarian restaurant sitting in a wonderful warehouse type space in Fort Mason with large lofty ceilings and a beautiful view of the Marina, the Golden Gate, and its eponymous bridge. As far as space alone goes, few can compare with this. We’ve been here too many times to count in the years we’ve lived here, and this restaurant has yet to disappoint. It has a solid wait staff that is attentive and courteous. It helps to make a reservation since the restaurant is very popular. We had for this time that we visited yet again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the wonderful things we’ve found about the food here is that it is as fresh and wholesome as one can find at any restaurant. This time we visited for their spring menu. We had a cold appetizer of fresh spring rolls, a dish that showcases the flavor of the vegetable very well. It plays off with the flavor of the mint. This along with the peanut sauce is fantastic. The warm cauliflower salad was a revelation. Well-cooked cauliflower with some crispy edges tossed with a fabulous tarragon mustard vinaigrette. The salty capers and pine nuts just add good contrast to the dish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We chose an inside window table where we could enjoy both the Mission street scene as well as visitors to the local farmers’ market. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The small staff was very attentive and efficient. From the restaurant’s own description: “Loló was designed by Lorena Zertuche using many recycled materials… in an attempt to create an environment that is fun and without pretention.” We began our evening with a delicious and ample guacamole that we almost didn’t finish. For libations, we chose a Blue Moon brew and an agave wine margarita. The latter was quite refreshing. Since the agave cactus yields both tequilas and wines, this wine margarita offers a quite refreshing drink without the intensity of the tequila, but with its own special kick from the mixture of salt and dried chilies that rimmed the glass. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delicious crab and chorizo tostadas were next with a lovely sandia pepper aioli. In turn, these were followed by carnitas: pork “confit” beautifully served in a banana leaf, accompanied by roasted tomatillo sauce and guacamole, and easily transferred to blue corn tortillas. Some near us continued to sample more items, but we concluded with Grandma’s superb chocolate Mexican flan. The total cost before tip was $57. The parking logistics in the Mission can be quite daunting, but Lolo is fortunate to be a half block from a public parking garage. One needs to enter on 21st Street near Bartlet and drive to the far end of the garage and park where there is a pedestrian exit to 22nd Street. BART is within easy walking distance as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2012/10/taylor-marcus125x125.jpg\" alt=\"Taylor Marcus\" title=\"Taylor Marcus\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Taylor\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Strategist\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Sausalito\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Le Garage\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Loló Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Monday, May 14, 2012\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loló is a fun spot with good energy; it serves a variety of Mexican-style tapas. It’s a great place to go with a group, or if you’re in the mood for an array of small bites. While Loló is a Mexican-style restaurant, it’s a break from the more traditional taquerias in the Mission with variations on some expected (and even unexpected) dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We ordered a little bit of everything, and nothing disappointed. Of course there were standouts, but the entire spread was fresh and inventive. Of the 12 tapas, the major stars were lamb sliders, crab tostadas, and arugula salad. Whenever I go back, the lamb sliders will be on my must-have list. They were served on brioche buns with a rich, creamy mushroom sauce and slivers of porcinis. We ended up mopping up the sauce with our slider buns — it was that good! And there were pepperoncini to add the optional but always welcomed kick. The arugula salad, while basic, was a fresh mix of greens, goat cheese, pine nuts, and dried fruit. I could have asked for more goat cheese and pine nuts, but when isn’t that the case? We also had a round of the tamarind margaritas that were crisp, refreshing, sweet and sour and served with flavored salt! And the Pedro Papantla ice cream dessert tasted like a liqueur-soaked buttercream ball — decadent and delicious!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The space itself is brightly colored and welcoming. There are cute cowboy boot vases around the restaurant and somewhat bizarre tiny clothes hanging on the brightly painted walls. (Apparently, they’re Quinceañeras decor.) Also, the bathroom is quite the experience – with the sounds of birds chirping in what I imagine to be a rainforest or tropical setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The weak point was the occasionally sporadic service though it didn’t really affect our overall experience. The servers, who were all very friendly, continually brought our tapas that came in three rounds: first were vegetable dishes, then seafood, and finally meat. However it was occasionally hard to get their attention to order. This wasn’t a big deal overall though as we all were devouring the tapas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loló is delicious and fun and a good bang for your buck! Go with a group and try a little bit of everything. Especially the lamb sliders and the margaritas.\u003c/p>\n\n",

We chose an inside window table where we could enjoy both the Mission street scene as well as visitors to the local farmers’ market. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The small staff was very attentive and efficient. From the restaurant’s own description: “Loló was designed by Lorena Zertuche using many recycled materials… in an attempt to create an environment that is fun and without pretention.” We began our evening with a delicious and ample guacamole that we almost didn’t finish. For libations, we chose a Blue Moon brew and an agave wine margarita. The latter was quite refreshing. Since the agave cactus yields both tequilas and wines, this wine margarita offers a quite refreshing drink without the intensity of the tequila, but with its own special kick from the mixture of salt and dried chilies that rimmed the glass. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delicious crab and chorizo tostadas were next with a lovely sandia pepper aioli. In turn, these were followed by carnitas: pork “confit” beautifully served in a banana leaf, accompanied by roasted tomatillo sauce and guacamole, and easily transferred to blue corn tortillas. Some near us continued to sample more items, but we concluded with Grandma’s superb chocolate Mexican flan. The total cost before tip was $57. The parking logistics in the Mission can be quite daunting, but Lolo is fortunate to be a half block from a public parking garage. One needs to enter on 21st Street near Bartlet and drive to the far end of the garage and park where there is a pedestrian exit to 22nd Street. BART is within easy walking distance as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr size=\"1\" noshade>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/checkplease/wp-content/uploads/sites/40/2012/10/taylor-marcus125x125.jpg\" alt=\"Taylor Marcus\" title=\"Taylor Marcus\" hspace=\"4\" align=\"left\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Name:\u003c/strong> Taylor\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Occupation:\u003c/strong> Strategist\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Location:\u003c/strong> Sausalito\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Favorite Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Le Garage\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Reviewed Loló Restaurant:\u003c/strong> Monday, May 14, 2012\u003cbr>\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loló is a fun spot with good energy; it serves a variety of Mexican-style tapas. It’s a great place to go with a group, or if you’re in the mood for an array of small bites. While Loló is a Mexican-style restaurant, it’s a break from the more traditional taquerias in the Mission with variations on some expected (and even unexpected) dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We ordered a little bit of everything, and nothing disappointed. Of course there were standouts, but the entire spread was fresh and inventive. Of the 12 tapas, the major stars were lamb sliders, crab tostadas, and arugula salad. Whenever I go back, the lamb sliders will be on my must-have list. They were served on brioche buns with a rich, creamy mushroom sauce and slivers of porcinis. We ended up mopping up the sauce with our slider buns — it was that good! And there were pepperoncini to add the optional but always welcomed kick. The arugula salad, while basic, was a fresh mix of greens, goat cheese, pine nuts, and dried fruit. I could have asked for more goat cheese and pine nuts, but when isn’t that the case? We also had a round of the tamarind margaritas that were crisp, refreshing, sweet and sour and served with flavored salt! And the Pedro Papantla ice cream dessert tasted like a liqueur-soaked buttercream ball — decadent and delicious!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The space itself is brightly colored and welcoming. There are cute cowboy boot vases around the restaurant and somewhat bizarre tiny clothes hanging on the brightly painted walls. (Apparently, they’re Quinceañeras decor.) Also, the bathroom is quite the experience – with the sounds of birds chirping in what I imagine to be a rainforest or tropical setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The weak point was the occasionally sporadic service though it didn’t really affect our overall experience. The servers, who were all very friendly, continually brought our tapas that came in three rounds: first were vegetable dishes, then seafood, and finally meat. However it was occasionally hard to get their attention to order. This wasn’t a big deal overall though as we all were devouring the tapas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
