Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Noe Valley

I was very pleasantly surprised by Mr Digby’s. The food was delicious, the atmosphere cozy and modern. My martini was exceptional. The service was attentive and warm. Our experience was positive and we will definitely be back.

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.

Got sat in side dining room right next to a service station at the bar, which was not a good place to sit. Waiter didn’t offer to change for clean plates until almost the end of the meal. Ask to be in the main dining room if at all possible.

We loved the welcoming staff and server. The food is delicious, and the drinks are original (not a full bar). But we were rushed toward the end of our meal because all the other patrons had left, and the staff wanted to close up. In total, we were in only for 56 min, and at 8:00 pm, we were in the street. I didn't have time to finish my drink. We will again, though.

We LOVED this restaurant. We sat inside so we couldn’t see the movie, but that wasn’t really an issue. The restaurant itself was stunning. Our server David was absolutely lovely. He really made our experience. The food was great, we got the smoked salmon, burrata with pears, sesame chicken, and pork chop. Everything was delicious. For dessert we got crème brûlée and a sort of chocolate mousse. Fantastic. It’s an expensive date but you pay for the food and the experience. Would go again!
