Ottimista Enoteca-Café brings the Italian wine bar tradition to San Francisco’s Cow Hollow neighborhood. We feature a frequently rotating menu of 35-40 wine selections by the glass and quartino, a range of vertical and regional flights, and approximately 250 wines by the bottle. The wine list is comprised of primarily small, family-owned wine producers from Italy and California, with a small but thoughtful selection of wines from around the world to round out the offering.  All of our wines are available to purchase and take home as well. 

To complete the enoteca experience – and enhance the enjoyment of wine - we offer a seasonal menu of small bites and larger plates inspired by, and designed to complement, the extensive wine offering.

In addition, we offer an array of wine tasting and education events for guests, often featuring visiting winemakers, and a quarterly wine club.
