So tonight, the new grads of Airbnb all went out to dinner at a relatively nice place because it was San Francisco's Restaurant Week! We went to a place called Vicoletto in North Beach.
We all ordered the 3 course fixed price menu. The upper left corner is the appetizer, which was mozzarella burrata on top of arugula and tomatoes. It was really delicious burrata, although there was a little too much olive oil on the dish which made it feel greasy. The arugula also didn't taste great with the other two ingredients. I would probably give it a 5/10.
The next course is in the upper right corner, and unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the dish. Fortunately, though, after a quick google search it looks as though this pasta isn't on the normal menu. It was a vegetarian pasta, with ricotta cheese stuffed inside the little pasta balls. The sauce was creamy and a little nutty, but delicious. 8/10
Finally, the last (and biggest picture) is the chocolate lava cake and vanilla gelato. Hands down the best part of the meal. This lava cake was different in that rather than the lava being hidden inside the cake, you could actually see it from the top. So when you took your first bite, you got a little bit of lava with the cake, and you would see the lava gracefully falling over the side of the cake, just like an actual volcano. 9/10
I'm unsure if I would come back to this place during not SF Restaurant Week, because it was a little pricey, but it's definitely worth a visit.
