- CACAnative4lifeSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe were so delighted to be able to dine in the bar room. It was just the 3 of us and quiet, which made it really nice to have conversation throughout our dinner. So many restaurants pipe in music and the noise level is untenable. What a treat! BTW, the food was outstanding. I recommend the lamb shank.More infoIl TegaminoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Carmel•4.6
