Restobar 1285

Specialties

If a taste of true San Francisco-​style Italian cooking and culture is what you’re looking for, you’ll find it here at 1285 Restobar.

When I decided to buy 1285 Restobar, which had been serving pizza since 1985, I saw it as an opportunity. The experience of living and raising my family for 35 years in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood, the heart of San Francisco-​style Italian culture, left an indelible imprint on my world. I wanted to create that culture here, on the Siuslaw river in Old Town Florence.

Trattoria, which means café in Italian, encapsulates my dream for 1285 Restobar. I had the opportunity to study trattorias and pizzerias in Naples during the year I was remodeling, and I was taken with the wonderful mix of sophistication and warm family-​friendly atmosphere I found in the trattorias there. That coupled with healthful, local, organic dining are the heart of my inspiration. I invite you to come and discover true San Francisco-​style Italian cooking and culture here at
