The Italian favorite has two legendary private dining areas: the Back Room, where <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/restaurants-travel/article/best-last-dive-bar-in-world">Sean Penn allegedly shot a bullet into the wall</a>, and the tiny Chef’s Room, tucked upstairs to overlook the plebes in the main space below. Plus there’s the fact that owner Anna Weinberg has more than a few <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEjqTenxJ1R/?hl=en">famous NBA friends</a>, like Bam Adebayo, Kevin Love, and even Lebron James, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEBxOisuQGo/?hl=en">who gifted her tickets</a> to a Warriors game in December, according to a post on Instagram. Tosca has tables open all weekend, plus there’s always the option to belly up to the bar for a boozy House Cappuccino.</p></div></div><dl class="Infobox_container__K3bn3" id=""><div class="Infobox_item__6Frug"><dt><span class="Infobox_iconContainer__p4FFV"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="22" viewBox="0 0 24 22" fill="none"><rect y="14" width="24" height="8" fill="#FFEB2D"></rect><path d="M12 12C13.6569 12 15 10.6569 15 9C15 7.34315 13.6569 6 12 6C10.3431 6 9 7.34315 9 9C9 10.6569 10.3431 12 12 12Z" stroke="#44403C" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M12 21C16 17 20 13.4183 20 9C20 4.58172 16.4183 1 12 1C7.58172 1 4 4.58172 4 9C4 13.4183 8 17 12 21Z" stroke="#44403C" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path></svg></span><span class="sr-only">Address</span></dt><dd><a href="https://maps.apple.com/?address=Tosca+Cafe%2C+242+Columbus+Ave.%2C+North+Beach">Tosca Cafe, 242 Columbus Ave., North Beach</a></dd></div></dl><hr class="my-5 max-w-full m-0 h-0 border-t " id=""/><div class="sm:hidden w-full h-full mx-auto flex justify-center items-center p-md sm:p-0 sm:!-mt-sm sm:!-mb-sm !my-0" data-target="advertisement-slot"><a href="https://sfstandard.com/membership/"><img src="https://content.sfstandard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/placement_300_250.png" alt="Ad for campaign membership" style="width:100%;height:auto;max-width:300px;max-height:250px"/></a></div><div class="article-body "><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-epic-steak-and-waterbar">Epic Steak and Waterbar</h2></div><figure id="" class="ImageBlock_ImageFigure__1WbbE grid-wide inset-image mobile-grid-full mobile-grid-full" data-align="wide"><div class="relative"><div><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:66.69921875%"></span><img alt="A vibrant outdoor restaurant by the waterfront features palm trees and string lights.

While both Embarcadero-front restaurants see more than their fair share of high-profile diners, the straightforward steakhouse tends to be slightly more popular with the athlete crowd. “Maybe they’re just meat eaters,” Sittnick speculates. Both restaurants have limited reservations available for All-Star Weekend, though walk-ins are welcome at the bars at both.</p></div></div><dl class="Infobox_container__K3bn3" id=""><div

class="paragraph-block article-body undefined text-left" id=""><p>General manager Bobby Caffese is tight-lipped about the high-profile diners who have come through the doors of FiDi’s Pabu, saying only that “chef Michael Mina is a high-profile individual himself, so we definitely see that caliber of individual.” One famous fan is <a href="https://sf.eater.com/2020/2/11/21133096/lebron-james-pabu-postmates-kowbird-michael-pollan">LeBron James</a>, who visited with then–teammates Anthony Davis and Quinn Cook back in 2020. A big draw of the izakaya is the layout of the dining room, Caffese says. The bar area has elevated booths from which diners can survey the room, while the sushi counter offers a more intimate experience. Semi-private booths provide the most solitude for notable diners looking to hide in plain sight.

(“There was a time when our pineapple pizza would be referred to as <a href="https://www.instagram.com/andersoncooper/p/BhLgu7VnlH2/">the Anderson Cooper pizza</a>.”) And with spinoff <a href="https://www.cheficopizzeria.com/">Che Fico Pizzeria</a> open in the Warriors’ backyard at Thrive City, athletes, coaches, and owners are regulars, he says. As far as spotting famous clientele, Che Fico offers the upstairs Celentano Room, accessed via private staircase, and the former Che Fico Alimentari space downstairs. “It’s its own private restaurant, basically, so we’re able to give complete and total anonymity to people,” he says. Che Fico is almost fully booked for the weekend, though the bar is available for walk-ins. </p></div></div><dl class="Infobox_container__K3bn3" id=""><div class="Infobox_item__6Frug"><dt><span class="Infobox_iconContainer__p4FFV"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 20" fill="none"><rect y="12" width="24" height="8" fill="#FFEB2D"></rect><path d="M10.197 10.906C10.5861 11.4262 11.0825 11.8566 11.6526 12.168C12.2226 12.4795 12.853 12.6647 13.501 12.7111C14.1489 12.7575 14.7992 12.664 15.4079 12.437C16.0165 12.21 16.5692 11.8547 17.0284 11.3953L19.7465 8.67721C20.5717 7.82282 21.0283 6.67851 21.018 5.49073C21.0076 4.30296 20.5312 3.16675 19.6913 2.32684C18.8514 1.48692 17.7152 1.01049 16.5274 1.00017C15.3396 0.98985 14.1953 1.44646 13.3409 2.27165L11.7826 3.82095M13.8211 9.09398C13.432 8.57381 12.9356 8.1434 12.3655 7.83195C11.7955 7.5205 11.1651 7.33529 10.5172 7.28889C9.86923 7.24248 9.21889 7.33597 8.61027 7.563C8.00164 7.79004 7.44896 8.14531 6.98971 8.60473L4.27165 11.3228C3.44646 12.1772 2.98985 13.3215 3.00017 14.5093C3.01049 15.697 3.48692 16.8332 4.32684 17.6732C5.16675 18.5131 6.30296 18.9895 7.49073 18.9998C8.67851 19.0101 9.82282 18.5535 10.6772 17.7283L12.2265 16.1791" stroke="#44403C" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path></svg></span><span class="sr-only">Website</span></dt><dd><a href="https://www.chefico.com/">Che Fico</a></dd></div><div class="Infobox_item__6Frug"><dt><span class="Infobox_iconContainer__p4FFV"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="22" viewBox="0 0 24 22" fill="none"><rect y="14" width="24" height="8" fill="#FFEB2D"></rect><path d="M12 12C13.6569 12 15 10.6569 15 9C15 7.34315 13.6569 6 12 6C10.3431 6 9 7.34315 9 9C9 10.6569 10.3431 12 12 12Z" stroke="#44403C" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path><path d="M12 21C16 17 20 13.4183 20 9C20 4.58172 16.4183 1 12 1C7.58172 1 4 4.58172 4 9C4 13.4183 8 17 12 21Z" stroke="#44403C" stroke-width="1.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path></svg></span><span class="sr-only">Address</span></dt><dd><a href="https://maps.apple.com/?address=838+Divisadero+St.%2C+Alamo+Square%C2%A0">838 Divisadero St., Alamo Square </a></dd></div></dl><div class="StickySharer_container__oTczX"><div class="content-grid StickySharer_content__gmWs_"><ul class="StickySharer_list__Lirqs"><li class="StickySharer_copyLink__8rSnj"><button><span class="sr-only">Copy link to this article</span><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="18" height="19" viewBox="0 0 18 19" fill="none"><path d="M7.50003 10.25C7.82212 10.6806 8.23305 11.0369 8.70494 11.2947C9.17684 11.5525 9.69866 11.7058 10.235 11.7443C10.7714 11.7827 11.3097 11.7053 11.8135 11.5173C12.3174 11.3294 12.7749 11.0353 13.155 10.655L15.405 8.405C16.0881 7.69775 16.4661 6.75049 16.4576 5.76725C16.449 4.78401 16.0546 3.84347 15.3593 3.14818C14.6641 2.4529 13.7235 2.05852 12.7403 2.04998C11.757 2.04143 10.8098 2.41941 10.1025 3.1025L8.81253 4.385M10.5 8.75C10.1779 8.31941 9.76701 7.96312 9.29512 7.7053C8.82322 7.44748 8.3014 7.29417 7.76504 7.25575C7.22868 7.21734 6.69034 7.29473 6.18652 7.48267C5.6827 7.67061 5.22519 7.9647 4.84503 8.345L2.59503 10.595C1.91194 11.3023 1.53396 12.2495 1.5425 13.2328C1.55104 14.216 1.94543 15.1565 2.64071 15.8518C3.33599 16.5471 4.27654 16.9415 5.25977 16.95C6.24301 16.9586 7.19027 16.5806 7.89753 15.8975L9.18003 14.615" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1.3" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"></path></svg></button><div class="StickySharer_copyLinkStatus__9bGWK null" role="status"></div></li><li><a target="_blank" aria-label="Send as email" rel="noreferrer" href="mailto:?subject=Where will celebrities be eating during All-Star Weekend?
