Ristorante Fior d'Italia

WELCOME TO FIOR D' ITALIA

Six buildings, a tent for two years, and The Fior is still great.
Fior d' Italia, America's Oldest Italian Restaurant, has proudly served the citizens of and visitors to San Francisco since 1886. Located in the North Beach section of San Francisco in the historic San Remo Hotel, "The Fior" specializes in traditional Northern Italian cuisine and old world hospitality. A favorite of locals and visitors alike, the restaurant is the ultimate San Francisco dining experience. It has been said, "If you haven't dined at 'The Fior' you haven't been to San Francisco."

Recently published, the full history of Fior d'Italia, complete with recipes from over the years, The Fabulous Fior -- Over One Hundred Years in an Italian Kitchen by Author Francine Brevetti, is now available for purchase at our restaurant.

Cuisine:

From the beginning, Fior d'Italia has served authentic Northern Italian cuisine. Today, Chef Gianni Audieri continues that tradition. He and owner Bob Larive agree that 'real' Italian should be the focus of the restaurant's menu.

"Traditional Italian cuisine has soul," says Chef Audieri, "too much of what is being served today in 'Italian' restaurants is not authentic ... Although there is always the temptation to chase some of the new trends, we think they are only temporary and don't serve us and our long term goals and run contrary to our traditions."

The restaurant offers close to ninety items on its very extensive menu. "The Fior's" customers rate the Calamari, Gnocci, Osso Buco and Caesar Salad as the best in San Francisco. Veal and pasta dishes are also highly rated. The restaurant makes most of the pasta it serves in house, along with all of the sauces. Essentially, almost everything served at the restaurant is prepared on site and is fresh from the Fior d'Italia kitchen.
