"Scoma's is the Wharf's long-standing staple for seafood. Expect classics like cioppino (seafood stew) and lobster thermidor – never groundbreaking, always good."

Jon Bonné

"A waterfront joint selling fresh seafood and the Italianate dishes San Francisco had made its own. Scoma's menu today retains that tack, whether offering the ever-scarcer sand dabs or a "poor man's" cioppino that hinges on a tomato-filled sweetness."

Zagat

"Locals and tourists alike laud these old-school family favorites that keep the quality up via top-notch Italian-style seafood, from wonderful crab to must-try cioppino."

Grub Street

"Many will argue that Scoma’s has the freshest seafood in the city. They should; they have their own fleet of fishing boats. Their cioppino is considered the classic incarnation: heavy, generously portioned and full of fresh crab."

Marcia Gagliardi

"The Lazy Man’s cioppino (with picked crab) at Scoma’s is a classic."

Elyssa Goodman

"Dungeness crab is the name of the game here: try it in a classic San Francisco Crab Louie salad (Dungeness crab, hardboiled egg, tomato, and asparagus on Iceberg lettuce with a mayonnaise/chili dressing)."

Alan Wulkan

"We love the Crab Louis, which comes with a generous portion of lump claw meat."

Island Miler

"It’s a MASSIVE salad filled with seafood and a tasty one too."
