Named for a bucolic hilltop town overlooking Rome, Frascati is a charming and friendly neighborhood treasure. Sidewalk tables enjoy the chimes of passing cable cars, while lovers prefer romantic mezzanine seating on cooler nights. The interior bursts with boisterous Russian Hill regulars who nosh on seasonal Mediterranean fare paired with wines from California and Italy. Begin with plump and tender russet Potato gnocchi mingled with leeks, peas, mushrooms, and white truffle oil; or sample a hearty Italian sausage risotto brimming with roasted tomatoes, spinach, and Parmesan. Other faves include pan-seared Bluenose bass with sweet corn, asparagus, and black olive butter; followed by a warm black-and-white chocolate bread pudding with hazelnut ice cream.
