A little piece of Mediteranean

Restaurant Review of Frascati


Frascati is a Mediterranean style bistro located in Russian Hill. The space is quaint and popular so you need to make reservations beforehand. The restaurant is bi-level with walls painted in neutral color and artwork that looks to change seasonally. We entered to a warm and friendly staff who seated us promptly. The waiter was extremely nice and brought several wine samples before we chose one. After we had found the right wine to pair with our dishes it was on to the ordering.

Starters

The Foie Gras Torchon with apple-currant compote, sauterne gastrique and toast points was an excellently composed dish with a melody of sweet and savory flavors.

The Mixed Greens with persimmons, toasted almonds, goat cheese and coriander vinaigrette was a nice refreshing addition to the meal.

The Russet Potato Gnocchi with Butternut Squash, Black Trumpet Mushrooms, Melted Leeks and White Truffle Oil was absolutely fantastic. This dish had amazing texture, flavor and taste. It was practically a flawless dish packed with flavor.

Entreees

The Maple Leaf Duck Breast with Herb Spaetzle, Arugula, Hearts of Palm Salad, Scallions and Huckleberry Sauce was another winner. The succulent and juicy duck breasts were covered in a delicious sweet and tangy sauce that really heightened your senses.

Overall I was thoroughly impressed by my visit. This is a fantastic restaurant with a great waiting staff, and food that really will surprise your tastebuds. I will definitely be back in the near future to partake in a different set of dishes.
