This was my second journey to this Italian tapas eatery. And if there's one hallmark of this Russian Hill restaurant, it's inconsistency. The service was spotty, lacking both the professionalism of a formal dining experience, but also the easy familarity of the place around the corner. It continued with the food. Some dishes, like the steamed clams, spicy corn and bread pudding were delectable. On the other hand, the oysters and swordfish rolls were just mediocre and the drunken tuna was terrible, tasting like microwaved Chicken on the Sea slathered in Bullseye BBQ sauce.
The wine list was suprisingly inexpensive, but I found out why when the first two bottles we ordered had all the complexity and body of a grape-flavored Capri-Sun. Then we asked the waiter to recommend a full-bodied bottle and he brought one twice as expensive as anything else on the list. That was annoying.
