Bringing the best of Italy to Bernal Heights


A Roman style trattoria in the heart of San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood, Palatino specializes in homemade pasta, ravioli, gnocchi and breads, and using local farmer’s market produce to prepare what Gourmet magazine calls "the culinary equivalent of Roman frescoes.”

Owner Aldo Blasi was born and raised in Rome, where his grandfather owned a restaurant on the Roman Forum. This is where Blasi learned to appreciate quality, which shows in every detail of this intimate, inviting restaurant — from the fresh ingredients to the attentive service.

An assortment of fresh seafood arrives daily, and every weekend offers a seafood menu along with the regular dinner menu.

Daily specials may include

Panzanella; Roman-style bread salad

Pizza with Pesto and Smoked Mozzarella

Butternut Squash Soup

Grilled King Salmon with Salsa Verde

Linguine with chanterelle mushrooms and cherry tomatoes

Open Monday through Friday for lunch, and nightly for dinner. Take-out, catering, and private parties available.
