Bourbon Steak has recently reappeared in the Westin Saint Francis. Deja Vu. We were last here about 15 years ago. Since then, prices have risen significantly. Steaks start at $70. it is Expensive, so let’s get that out of the way. The space is dark, clubby and loud with modern music. You can eat steak at Harris from a less. Frankly, I think it’s wise to order non-steak items. Yeah it is hard to cook a steak to high heat at home. But.. We saw one table sharing the lobster pot pie, $125 dollars for 3 people, for cheaper than the steaks here. You get a free fry appetizer, so don’t over do appetizers. We spend over $120 per person without drinks or dessert. We paid under $100 at Arquet the week before for a probably better meal. Michael Mina is all over this place, he was present when we were dining, shaking hands of several diners.

Why did we dine here? – Montesacro is a hidden Italian gem, located in an alley right off a hardcore scary block of 6th Street in downtown San Francisco. The name comes from a neighborhood in Roma. We were tipped off about this place from a friend. Gianluca Legrottaglie, who runs nearby 54 Mint, opened this stylish restaurant, that transports you back to Rome, in 2015. Pinsa’s are a flatbread that was once prepared by peasants living outside the imperial walls during the Roman empire. Montesacro is the first “Pinseria” in the United States. It presents a modern take on Pinsa that is made with a blend of rice, soy and wheat flour imported directly from Rome, All GMO-free. Insider Tip – Enter from 7th street, walking down Stevenson. Check out the bathroom Cuisine – Italian Location – Downtown San Francisco Opened – 2015 Service – Montesacro had friendly service that was adequate. They did forget to tell us about dessert. Verdict – Montesacro will transport you back to Rome. A hidden restaurant, that while not cheap, has decent food and is pretty cool. Is this restaurant worth a 5 minute drive? Yes. 30 minute? Yes. 1 Hour? Maybe. Montesacro […]
