RAVE - SPQR

We revisited this non-North Beach Italian restaurant for only the second time in over ten years, and were reminded what we had been missing during that decade.

First, it's still hard to get a reservation, even with so much competition in the city, and particularly at the "good" end of Filmore. But we were with special friends, so with a little extra forethought and a month's notice, we got a Friday night table.

I don't remember exactly what we had. After our appetizers of suckling pork confitura, brassica and grains salad, hamachi crudi and the like, the dinner blurred into a feast of flavors and excellent Rosso di Montalcino.

The bustling atmosphere and great company did nothing but enhance the experience.

We're looking forward to 2024, when our regular next visit looms.
