Frommer's Review
One of San Francisco's oldest restaurants, run by one of the city's most prominent families, the Aliotos, this Fisherman's Wharf landmark has a long-standing reputation for great cioppino.
The curbside crab stand, Café 8, and the outdoor crab market are great for quick, inexpensive doses of San Francisco's finest. For more formal surroundings, continue up the stairs to the multilevel, harbor-view dining room. Don't mess around with the menu: If you're here, you're after Dungeness crab. Cracked, caked, stuffed, or stewed, it's impossible to get your fill.

"This family owned restaurant with a stunning view of the Bay turns out first-rate seafood and Italian dishes."
