Message from Magic Flute

Visit one of San Francisco's most romantic restaurants.
  • Romantic setting
  • Great for Parties and Weddings
  • Extensive Wine List

One of San Francisco's most romantic restaurants, the Magic Flute, has a new and exciting menu reflecting California-Italian Cuisine. Located in fashionable Presidio Heights, the restaurant with sponge-painted walls and hardwood floors is reminiscent of a family-run trattoria found in a small Tuscan village. Sunlight streams in through large picture windows in the front dining room, and after dark, Florentine wrought-iron chandeliers, imported from Europe, infuse the room with soft light. The equally beautiful rear dining room looks onto a lovely, flower-filled patio with white Italian marble tables and large Italian market umbrellas that make the heated patio the ideal spot for al fresco dining. Phil LaCavera sees to it that service is personal and attentive. The staff also takes great pride in making each party and wedding a memorable occasion.

Good food, cute place  4 Star Rating - Very good

Located in Laurel Heights on Sacramento St. Magic Flute has great brunch and other good food. The wait staff is friendly but service is a little slow. The inside of the restaurant is fairly small, but there is a nice outside seating area in the back. Very nice on a warm San Francisco day.

great food, so-so service  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

This is one of our standbys in the Laurel Village area. It's one of the few places that has an outdoor patio from which to enjoy those rare sunny days in SF. Enjoyed all the food we've had, but have to say that sometimes the service can be slow. The owner/manager (I think he holds both roles) is very nice and welcoming.

Cutesy, hip eatery with good food  4 Star Rating - Very good

Magic Flute is a wonderful restaurant for a girl's night out or just a Sunday brunch. It's located in the heart of San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood and has awesome food. There's a little patio area where you can have private parties or an indoor dining area which can hold about 30 people. I recommend the Quiche - I have never tasted a better one and it's the best!

What A Find! 5 Star Rating - World class

This place is great! We were welcomed in by the owner of the place and promtly seated. The lunch menu a great variety of selections, the food was great (large portions and very homestyle!). Best of all we got to listen to the owner crack jokes, and it seemed like he knew everyone who walked through the door. I will definately visit again, and this time opt fot the patio tables!

Pros: Service, Good Meal, Cute Place
Cons: Parking
