Vera Shtefanuka: Napoleon is a must!
Daddy said I'm special: Best place to introduce your fellows Americans to Russian and Ukrainian basics. Kvas, pelmeni, vareniki, pirozhki, and Napoleon cake.
Illia Syniuhin: Very delicious borscht and Napoleon, almost like at home 🙂

AskMen: A traditional French bistro situated where Duboce Triangle meets the Castro, the anything-but-dainty food (steak & fries, coq au vin) is delicious, the interior is dark & cozy, & the service is warm. Read more.

Alex Straus: The tequila Ocho here is magical. Also, try the ancho Reyes in anything. It's awesome. The Mandarine Napoleon makes the best margaritas too!!
PUNCH: ABV’s cocktail game is tight, but simple; you wont find dozen-ingredient drinks, just no-frills cocktails organized by spirit. The bar snacks are stellar, from mini fish & chips to potpie empanadas. Read more.
Will Bertelsen: Awesome new cocktail and small plates space from the owner of Hideout and an all star team of bar folk. I am fucking thrilled this exists.
J John: The good: Cannolis are great, Napoleons are also very well made. The bad: Custard eclairs are nothing to write home about, the gelato is so so, and the service curt and slow.
Carrie Higgins: Try a pastry- everything I've tried here is amazing. Favorites are the chocolate cake and cannoli. Enjoy them with an americano or espresso at a neighboring cafe.
Martini Mike: Cash only. Hard to find parking. Totally worth it! Try the raspberry ring.

Shelley McPeek: Menu changes daily, super cheap and always delicious. Get a cookie or pastry, you won't regret it!
Corey Pebler: They make amazing fully decorated or ready to decorate Gingerbread houses here. Stop by and grab one for some holiday fun!
Nick Robinson: the ice cubes in their iced coffee are MADE OUT OF FROZEN ICED COFFEE. THIS IS THE BEST THING!
Micah Shotel: The verdura lasagna is amazing (all the lasagnas are wonderful but verdura is my favorite). For a change from lasagna try the ravioli alla romana... And get some bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
David Bishop: Quite an amazing menu for lunch, their specialty, with a dinner menu 'to go' from 3:30-6:30.
Yasemin Ozcan: You can't go wrong with their truffle ravioli, any of the lasagna, and caprese salad. After the meal, enjoy espresso made all'italiana

ReeD: Vegetarian? Caprese or Harvarti Sandwich. Meat? Prosciutto Caprese. Excellent cheese, from an amazing Cave-Aged Gruyere to hard-to-find Appenzeller to Papillon Roquefort. Locals: Teleme and Baserri.
Kristen W: They used to stare at me blankly when I asked which cheeses were vegetarian, but now they mark which ones use vegetable rennet or microbial enzymes :)
Nishant Bhatt: Congrats on sfist top cheese shop list.
