Aperto

Okay, I have a slight imbalance in my SF visitations. (I’m not sure that’s a word.) I spend a large majority of my SF time in potrero hill. To be remedied in the future, I swear! But it’s not *entirely* my fault. True, I have insecurities and anxieties about parking in SF, and potrero is far easier for that. But I also have a sister who lives in Mission Bay. So…there.

In any case, potrero has a small selection of decent/good restaurants, and I’m quite familiar with almost all of them. Last night, L & I ate at a pizza place (post pending) and then headed over to Aperto for dessert, wine and more fun hanging out (L, I’m so glad you moved to SF!). I’ve been to Aperto many a time with my sister and other friends, and it’s a good staple. It probably won’t blow you away, but the food is always good and reasonably priced (pastas in the teens, entrees in the low-mid twenties, reasonable wine list). I’ve liked pretty much everything I’ve tried there. Last time I had dinner there, I had their spicy pasta dish. (I think it has bacon in it.) It was delish.

It’s easy to get to, a laid-back, cute little place with good food and (for me) good company, so I vote for Aperto. Also, it has more seating than Chez Maman across the street.

P.S. My weird issues with potrero hill geography/orientation are slowly resolving. I’ll get there eventually.
