Italian Restaurant · Mission District · 487 tips and reviews
Barton Smith: San Francisco has a consistent style of Italian food among it's many great Italian restaurants but Beretta is probably my favorite. I like the cocktails, meatballs and spicy Italian sausage pizza.
Barton Smith: Their cinnamon toast is the perfect reward for the bike ride out to Ocean Beach. Don't be put off by the price, just try it and you'll understand.
Dolores & Church St (btwn 18th & 20th St), San Francisco, CA
Park · Mission Dolores · 505 tips and reviews
Barton Smith: The perfect representation of modern San Francisco. A clash of hippies, hipsters, gays, Hispanics and plenty of white tech workers enjoying a rare sunny day and zero enforcement of booze and weed.
628 Divisadero St (btwn Hayes & Grove St), San Francisco, CA
Rock Club · Alamo Square · 107 tips and reviews
Barton Smith: The Independent is one of San Francisco's treasures. You get to see great bands before they're big, the venue is the perfect size and you won't find any screaming teens.
100 Christmas Tree Point Rd (at Twin Peaks Blvd), San Francisco, CA
Hill · 275 tips and reviews
Barton Smith: If you have a car, be sure to head up to Twin Peaks Summit on a sunny day for panorama views of the city. And the drive up is just as enjoyable as the view.
Barton Smith: Ride your bike across the bridge to Sausalito and then come here to sit outside, drink beer and eat amazing wood oven pizzas (the fennel sausage is my fav). Then just catch the ferry back home.
