Il Pollaio, a North Beach gem, has been serving up delicious grilled chicken and other tasty dishes since 1982. Founded by a Calabrian man from Argentina, this unassuming family-run restaurant offers honest, no-frills cooking that keeps customers coming back for more. The grilled chicken is a standout, perfectly seasoned and cooked over gas, with crispy skin and moist meat. The boneless ribeye and homemade lentil soup are also favorites among diners. The friendly staff and cozy ambiance make it a great spot for a date night or casual dinner with friends. With its affordable prices, including a half chicken for $16, Il Pollaio stands out in a neighborhood where pasta dishes can cost much more. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, this small restaurant with only 12 tables is sure to impress with its delicious food and welcoming atmosphere.
