HISTORY
- A View From The Past
Steeped
in tradition, operated with pride by the third generation
Alioto’s, the oldest restaurant on the Wharf was founded
in 1925. The restaurant is still owned and operated by direct
descendants of the original Alioto family. Depending on the
time of day, your crab cracker, waiter, greeter, or maitre’d
could well be a family member practicing the time-honored tradition
of Alioto service and San Francisco hospitality. Enjoy our photo
gallery of historic Wharf photographs in our lobby and as you
ascend the stairwell. Too tired to walk? Take the elevator up
to the third floor to enjoy our breathtaking views.
Our staffs are
trained professionals. Most of our service staff and our chef
have been with the restaurant for more than 20 years. In the
European tradition, restaurant service is a career, not just
a job.
