Sotto Mare – Seafood

Stepping into this bustling North Beach landmark feels like entering a lively seaside tavern where the air is thick with the briny scent of fresh oysters and the convivial clatter of crab crackers. Chilled platters of cracked Dungeness crab and bowls of steaming clams in fragrant broth take center stage, inviting diners to roll up their sleeves and dive into the ocean’s bounty. From the delicate saltiness of traditional baccala to the vibrant, creamy crunch of a classic Crab Louis, every dish celebrates the unadorned purity of the sea in a space that hums with authentic San Francisco charm.
