Description:
One of San Francisco's oldest restaurants, run by one of the city's most prominent families, the Aliotos, this Fisherman's Wharf landmark has a long-standing reputation for great cioppino. The curbside crab stand, Café 8, and the outdoor crab market are great for quick, inexpensive doses of San Francisco's finest. For more formal surroundings, continue up the stairs to the multilevel, harbor-view dining room. Don't mess around with the menu: If you're here, you're after Dungeness crab. Cracked, caked, stuffed, or stewed, it's impossible to get your fill, so bring plenty of money -- particularly if you intend to order from Alioto's prodigious (and pricey) wine list. If you don't care for cracked crab, try the griddle-fried sand dabs or the rex sole served with tartar sauce.

Expensive, but good

We both had the risotto with shrimp and scallops. It was pricey-$24.95 if memory serves, and we got 3 shrimp and 2 large scallops, but it was delicious. Nice view of the bay.
