I love, love, love Luella! It’s definitely one of my top 10 favorite restaurants in the city. I feel like it’s an untapped gem in the San Francisco restaurant scene. I constantly recommend this restaurant to people looking for a low-key evening with good food and good wine because every time I dine here, I’m never disappointed. Reid had never eaten at Luella so I was dying to take him - my treat! We walked into Luella and instantly Reid said, “I like this place.” It just has a warm vibe and just like Bacchus, not ostentatious at all. We wanted to try almost every appetizer on the menu but settled for two: the ahi tuna tartate tacos with lime vinaigrette and mango salsa (I’ve never not ordered these…they are amazing!) and the burrata with wildflower honey, toasted hazelnuts and grilled bread (who can pass up fresh burrata?).

Entrée choice for me: Roasted polenta cakes with wild mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, Parmesan, arugula and champagne vinaigrette. If you love polenta, I also recommend the crispy polenta fries with spicy tomato vinaigrette - pure polenta deliciousness. Entrée choice for Reid: Short rib lasagna with Parmesan béchamel and tomato puree. Reid will never pass up lasagna. It’s one of his favorite dishes (of all time) and we all know I’m not whipping up any gourmet lasagna at home so he had to take advantage of the option. No dessert for us, we were way too full.
Luella, 1896 Hyde Street, San Francisco, CA 94109.
