SPQR is a well established restaurant in San Francisco for close to 20 years. More recently owner/chef Accarrino also open just around the corner Mattina https://www.mattinasf.com/ - a full day restaurant with lunch, cafe and dinner options. It is more of a neighborhood restaurant than SPQR but still has the focus on high quality dishes, e.g. pasta made in-house, spiedini etc. Our first visit was very good and it is a bit surprising that the restaurant seems to fly a bit under the radar compared to some other Italian places in the city
