Short Reviews: Enrico’s

Enrico's packages up the essence of a European sidewalk cafe and plops it down in North Beach -- adding some good American live jazz for localization. Most people don't go to Enrico's for the food, although it is good enough that you could make that the reason for your trip. A table outside is a great place for Sunday brunch while watching the San Francisco Grand Prix. Or, you can sit inside on a foggy evening and listen to jazz. The menu is Italian, but is also influenced by the Alice Waters revolution. You can get fried calamari, shrimp risotto or homemade lasagna, but you can also get roasted chicken, pan roasted halibut and Niman Ranch lamb sirloin. Recommended
