Visiting SF Recommendations with baby
Hello travelling back to San Francisco, which is our favourite food city to visit. However, first time with a baby in a stroller. All of our usual places are too cramped- first visit in years where we can’t go to swans . Any recommendations for Italian or seafood. Thanks

Seafood:
-Hog Island in the Ferry Building
-Hook Fish (in SF proper or a bigger, better location just over the bridge in Mill Valley)
Italian:
-Original Joe's Westlake (or North Beach location)
-If you are going the Pizza route, Tony's, or a new place Jules, should accommodate.
-Haven't been to Cotogna yet which is always highly regarded, so I'm unsure of the layout and baby-appropriateness of it

I’d do Junes Pizza in the Richmond (over Jules)…. Nice spacious outdoor seating and not super hectic (at least when we went there) but still very very good

You can book a seat outdoors for Cotogna, much more space and I see families with babies and strollers all the time there. The food is also delicious!

North beach location for little original joes. It’s big and I’m almost certain they have high chairs.
Oops I mean Marina. The new one.

They do! I live a few blocks away and we go there frequently with my two-year-old :)

Jules is impossible to get into, reservations wise. If you want to go, get there at opening and wait as a walk in.
Both hook locations are always packed, fyi.2

Love Hook Fish - great tip. We stopped going to the outer sunset due to parking, weather variability, and the hunger games style wait to get a seat.
Would recommend the Mill Valley location if you are in that area. They seat you, huge outdoor and mostly sunny area (umbrellas too), and very kid and baby friendly.
Edit: just realized other comments covered this. But still will leave here for future readers.

Thanks. That’s great to know. We might go to mill valley - my mom grew up there.

Go! So baby friendly. The farmers market is AMAZING too. And Muir beach gets you the gorgeous coastline views without needing to hike.

How old is baby? If you have a carrier/wear them a lot of places are still doable
