Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Noe Valley

We have been coming to Lupa for the past 18 years. Lupa Trattoria in San Francisco offers an exceptional dining experience with authentic Roman cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. We were particularly impressed by the amatriciana, which was as authentic as any you’d find in Rome, with perfectly balanced flavors that showcased the traditional preparation. Stefano's attention to detail in the dishes reflects a deep respect for Roman culinary traditions.

Each course was perfectly placed and presented. A very special meal and dining experience overall. The team were attentive to our timeframe and made sure we made it to our show on time. Truly excellent Michelin style service. Top notch.

Amazing service outside from a new waitress. From someone who is always cold, the outside seating was perfectly heated. The burgers were incredible.

Very cute, quaint little restaurant. Food was excellent and priced decent. Service was quick, and staff was warm and very hospitable.

a family holiday celebration evening. we had dec 23rd chef's tasting menu. we included a family share of risotto & pasta. five entrees in all. our family are world travelers & food connsoisseurs. i'm a self-taught international cook. able sons can cook. it takes culinary uniqueness to impress our family. it's the holiday. a full house on 1st hour. k, chef does best of ability. beginning entrees were tasty, but not about presentation like in restaurant photos, but we like it rudimentary. i sense kitchen staff became overwrought 2nd half. entrees became salty. a low salt person, i was dehydrated from salt. my hot water was not replenished. ah, chai was around the corner. boba drinks a block away. still highly commend front of house staff. a full house, and they work well as a team ensuring & assuring our family enjoyed our restaurant experience during our 1st visit. a rarity... they check in our outerwears & umbrellas.
