According to Zagat's: "After all these years" (since 1998), Craig and Anne Stoll's "sterling" Northern Italian in the Mission is "still the standard" for "simple and perfectly cooked" pastas and other "unfussy" but "divine" mains, matched by an "interesting wine list" and "polite", "real" service; there's a "hip crowd", but "waits" for the "too-close" tables "can be a drag", which is why those without a reservation often end up "seated at the bar" – or at their "amazing" pizzeria next door.
