Restaurant odd couple.
In New York, it's not unheard-of to find Italian and Mexican dishes sharing space on the same menu (probably a paper menu, like the napkins). In San Francisco, if you'd like garlic bread with your cha gio, or even pho before your fettuccine, this Italian-Vietnamese-classic American eatery may be just the place. But if your next stop is the Balboa theater, you'll have to choose: One screen or the other, unless you have time for a double feature.
