Brindisi Cucina di Mare
Cuisine: Italian
Its MO: Italian Street Dining
Turns out it’s not actually necessary to hop on a flight to get a Euro-style dining experience. Instead, here’s a fitting alternative. This Italian joint may be in FiDi, but eating here sure feels like being transported to Europe. It’s located along Belden Place, a jam-packed alley filled with alfresco seating and strings of café lights. We’re also loving the venue’s super-charming gingham tablecloths and fresh flowers.

Brindisi Cucina di Mare, 88 Belden Place (between Pine and Bush streets); 415-593-8000.
