The rich story of Cioppino goes like this. As Fisherman came in from their expeditions, they threw various kinds of fish or "chipped into" steaming pots on the wharf to make this fresh and famous San Francisco treat. Ala the name Cioppino.
In addition to Cioppino, all of the items on the menu are the freshest you can get and the daily specials are always a great way to go. Of course sour dough bread goes great with the cioppino and all of the fresh seafood dishes.
From the web site:"Tadich Grill, like many well-known restaurants, likes to keep tabs on its famous customers, such as politicians. You could hardly be, or even run for, mayor of San Francisco without being a familiar face at Tadich Grill. Many other political leaders, from Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia to George H. W. Bush, have partaken of the Buich family’s fresh fish. Sports figures, such as Joe DiMaggio, were a common sight. And after battling each other on the gridiron in 1985, quarterbacks Joe Montana and Dan Marino had lunch there together. Hollywood legends have been seen at the tables over the years: Groucho Marx, Bob Hope, Lana Turner, Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Danny DeVito, Jack Nicholson, George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola, among many others. Herb Caen, of course, was a regular. But perhaps the most honored guest ever appeared in January 1949 to celebrate the hundredth year of the restaurant’s operation: ninety-four-year-old John Tadich. (His daughter, Ruby, ate there regularly until 2008 when she passed away at age 104.)
San Francisco treasures tradition, longevity, and the honoring of history. Few, perhaps no, other city establishments can equal Tadich Grill in exemplifying those qualities.
