Lots of good Italian restaurants in San Francisco. Last time I held a conference there, we hit a different Italian restaurant every night (for about a week) until someone said "enough."
But, alas, that was 13 years ago, so I have no recommendations.
jest don't get nuthin' with the "Alfredo" or "cream sauce..."
The only thing I really need to figure out is how to get down to the wharf easily, without driving there or taking a cab. It's a $100 cab fare... *each way* and that's a little steep. I could drive, but I've heard horror stories about how tough it is for a newbie to get around downtown. And parking is just not available.
I'll figger sumpthin.
