One of San Francisco’s most memorable restaurants, the Magic Flute Ristorante is located in fashionable Presidio Heights. The restaurant, with Italian art deco, is reminiscent of a family-run trattoria found in a small Italian village. Family owned and operated for over 40 years, the restaurant serves traditional Italian cuisine with a California flare. The outdoor patio is unique to this grand city and is a must try for Brunch or for any sunny afternoon.
“What a charming dinner spot! I came to have dinner with a friend and we were not disappointed. I ordered the pesto pasta and it was probably my favorite ive ever had. Will definitely be coming back!”
“We chose The Magic Flute for our wedding reception because we wanted something intimate, charming, and uniquely San Francisco — and it was absolutely perfect. From the start, the team was so easy to work with, accommodating every detail with kindness and professionalism. The evening itself was magical. The food and wine were incredible — our guests couldn’t stop raving about both — and the service was friendly, attentive, and fast. The restaurant’s warm lighting and beautiful ambiance made every photo glow, adding to the cozy, elegant feel we hoped for. We wanted our guests to experience the heart of San Francisco in an intimate setting, and The Magic Flute gave us exactly that. Our night was truly special, and we’re so grateful to the entire team for making it unforgettable.”
“Food was incredible, beautiful presentation, explosive and balanced flavors. Great atmosphere! We ate a little earlier dinner in the back patio and had the place to ourselves.”
“We came here on a cold and rainy night. The restaurant was nice and warm inside. The front room was full so we had to sit in the back. Our waitress was extremely nice and accommodating. They have a very simple menu. The garlic bread was light and fluffy and very garlicky.”
“I really love the old San Francisco atmosphere here and the service is good but I have to say that the quality of the food has gone downhill. This place taught me to love salmon but the salmon on spinach that I had the other day was so salty my mouth was actually burning. It was also incredibly expensive for a meal that was a bust to put it lightly.”
