Often spotted sipping wine at city favorite Cafe Zoetrope, owner, director, and winemaker Francis Coppola offers a European-style eatery that seduces diners with a welcoming ambiance, effortless service, and authentic Italian cuisine. Named after venerable production company American Zoetrope, Cafe Zoetrope channels Coppola’s ingenious films—including The Godfather and Apocalypse Now—boasting dramatic flavors in artful presentations.
Stationed at the base of North Beach’s Sentinel Building on the cusp of Chinatown and the Financial District, Cafe Zoetrope bears a casual atmosphere in a comfortably appointed space. One-of-a-kind movie mementos spanning Coppola’s long and celebrated career adorn the bistro’s interior while awnings and heated sidewalk seating allow guests to dine comfortably outside, even on a foggy San Francisco afternoon.
Highlighting an array of diverse offerings from sumptuous small plates and fresh antipasti to made-to-order pastas and rustic pizzas, Cafe Zoetrope’s menu pleases the most discerning of palates. Southern Italian recipes and fresh, local ingredients conspire to create house favorites such as the spaghetti and meatballs—a Coppola family favorite of beef, pork, and veal—while a generous selection of hand-crafted varietals complement every meal.
