Cassis
Address: 2101 Sutter Street, San Francisco, CA 94115 (Map)
Cassis is located one quiet block away from the frenzy and activity of Fillmore Street and is a good place to end a day of shopping. The Meloni brothers who own Cassis have conceived of this French/Italian hybrid restaurant in order to share with diners the cuisines of their French mother and Italian father. The restaurant’s Italian inclinations shine through in its pizza, pasta, and lasagna -- a house specialty. Its French roots are exposed when it pours wine, serves appetizers and desserts, and cooks Daube A La Nicoise, the beef stew specialty of Nice. Bon Appitit and Buon Appetito!
