About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining

Sociale (say - "SO-SHEE-AH-LAY!") was born in the bistros of Florence and raised here in Presidio heights. Laughter and Italian music are heard floating up from the star-lit, heated patio greeting you from the discreet garden alley below. Families and friends leaving the frenetic pace of the city behind can experience a lighter and decidedly more Italian mood celebrating in our new private dining room, the traditional room or on the patio as the irresistible scents of warm pastas, herb-infused meats, and the sweet honey and nut coated sfingi with vanilla bean gelato shake permeate the surrounding space. Bewitching and eclectic wines from Italy and California complement the weekly changing menus that Chef Julio Mis crafts with joy and delight for our neighborhood friends!

Nice restaurant but as other reviews have said, very very noisy. People have not learned what a restaurant voice is and continually shout. We were surrounded by two tables of shouters, and it kind of ruined the experience for us.

We celebrated my dad’s 65th birthday here and the Sociale team went above and beyond to make it special. They gave us a perfect table inside but with a view of the festive front outdoor area and our server was so kind. The host helped organize the cake we brought in and they brought it out with candles lit and everything. Noise levels were quiet which was nice for quality conversation. Food was yummy and they did special split pasta dishes for those of us who couldn’t choose between 2 options on the menu. My dad absolutely loved the whole experience! Thank you Sociale!!!
