San Francisco, California, is a popular tourist destination. There are many activities for a diverse range of interests--theater, sports, music, the Alcatraz prison complex, redwood forests, the Golden Gate Bridge and famous sea lions. No trip to San Francisco is complete without a visit to Fisherman's Wharf. After exploring the wharf, enjoy one of the best restaurants in the area.
Tarantino's has been a favorite with the locals since it opened in 1946. The restaurant overlooks the harbor and is still owned and operated by its founding family. Its fresh fish and crabs come from two seafood distributors based right on the pier. Enjoy sidewalk dining or waterfront views. Try these classic San Franciscan items: fresh cracked dungeness crab, sourdough bread, and a glass of California chardonnay. Tarantino's is a featured restaurant on the Best of San Francisco, and it receives rave reviews on Yelp.com, Citysearch.com and Tripadvisor.com.
