About this restaurant

Romantic
Innovative
Good for special occasions

Da Flora is an Italian restaurant that sits just on the outskirts of North Beach in San Francisco. Locals cherish this beloved restaurant for the painstakingly prepared meals and romantic atmosphere. During dinner service, the Murano glass chandelier is dimmed to create the perfect ambience for an intimate dinner, while the candlelit tables invite guests to sit and relax for a delicious meal.

Da Flora's Chef Jen McMahon has traveled extensively through the Italian countryside and urban centers to perfect her special brand of cooking. Her dishes take the heart and soul from traditional recipes and infuse them with a personality all their own. House-made sweet potato gnocchi in a sherry cream sauce with bacon and sage as well as Sicilian rosa bianca eggplant caponata crostini are perfect examples of the unique perspective Da Flora brings to the plate.

This is my boyfriend’s favorite restaurant soooo for his birthday I had to take him here! I am vegan and he is not but the staff was super accommodating! I am still dreaming of the pea crostini appetizer! I gave them notice of my dietary needs and they made a delicious pasta with artichokes and asparagus !!! My boyfriend had spare ribs and he loved them! They also brought out a cake with a candle for his birthday! It was super great! The food was delicious, the ambiance is always lovely and it was super special!

A feel-good, taste-great experience -- will add it to the list of local SF, family-owned businesses I want to support. As a native and advocate of our city, I hope Da Flora flourishes and shines in its honor of tradition, personal-touch and identity. A real craft it is, to so authentically entertain and delight restaurant guests, that Da Flora masters.

My husband and I shared the Fava Bean Crostini.. very nice, overall, but could have used more salt, and cracked pepper, which was not on the table. I enjoyed the Risotto with Duck Ragu..but it was rather ordinary. My husband's dish, the Nettle Tagliatelle, had a truffle creme sauce, and was much better. We shared the Butterscotch Budino, $13, which did not have much flavor, and would not order again. Overall, nice atmosphere, and pretty good food.

Everything here is excellent. Last visit was shared a Cesar, Sweet potato gnocchi and Pesce en brodo. The Pesce en brodo was mind blowing.

All we ordered was delicious as usual, service is warm, friendly and professional. Old world Italian decor and small number of tables so pretty quiet.

This is the perfect spot to bring your friends who love good food and who want to be able to carry on a relaxed conversation. It's great to be able to hear one's dinner companions without shouting. Especially because you'll be hearing your friends say yummmmm as they enjoy their meal. The Sangiovese by the glass is SO GOOD, just get a bottle. It opens up beautifully and is the perfect complement to any dinner. Service is attentive without being obtrusive and the food, ah the food, every dish is just wonderful. I had the pesce en brodo, my friends had the risotto with duck confit and the manicotti with spinach and ricotta. We were all absolutely delighted and completely sated.

The food, wine, service, and ambiance were all wonderful. I was surprised by the final tally, though. Next time I'll take the 3 dollar signs more seriously.
