    We have always very much enjoyed dining at Ristobar, and last night was no exception. What a beautiful and welcoming place! The service could not have been more friendly and attentive, everybody enjoyed their drinks, and our salads and pastas were deliciously rich with nuanced flavors. We were also very appreciative of the many gluten free options available! This is very important for one of the folks in our party, and we're happy she could enjoy her meal without worry. Ristobar is a perfect choice for a pre-show meal before heading over to the Palace of Fine Arts. We very much look forward to our next visit. Thank you very much!

    I celebrated my birthday here on Tuesday night. My party needed a few special accommodations met and the staff fulfilled them all happily and efficiently. The food was amazing and the cocktails were exquisite! We absolutely loved our intimate nook on the street parklet with its cozy heaters and vibey chill ambience. The standout moment goes to our server LAURA! She was so warm, funny and entertaining, which is exactly what is needed to make an occasion (like my birthday party) special. She even snapped a photo of my party after the restaurant closed. Thank you LAURA!

    Beautiful setting inside the restaurant; happening spot. Delicious Italian food with great flavors. Lovely wine list. Only downside is that they don't have a hard liquor license so no cocktails outside of wine cocktails.
