Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store Cafe is a cozy and welcoming spot near Washington Square Park, known for its great atmosphere and delicious food. The menu features favorites like the meatball sandwich, made with fresh soft focaccia, perfectly melted cheese, and huge, almost charbroiled meatballs, all served with a side of peperoncino for acidity. Other popular dishes include the breaded eggplant, chicken panini on Liguria's green onion focaccia, and various salads with bacon or chicken. Customers praise the friendly service, which is efficient despite the small team managing both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating offers a good view for people-watching and is perfect on sunny days. Prices are reasonable, and the restaurant has been family-owned and operated for over 50 years, maintaining a true old-school San Francisco feel. Visitors often mention how Mario’s is a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike, with some coming back for decades. The restaurant is noted for its excellent drinks, including cafe mocha, and its dessert, tiramisu. Overall, Mario’s is more than just a café; it’s a piece of San Francisco history where quality food and a warm atmosphere make every visit special.
