Today I had dinner at Ristorante Umbria, an Italian restaurant in SOMA (South of Market) San Francisco. I got the last open table in the restaurant and it has a cozy, conversational feel when it is crowded.  After dinner I thought I’d test their latte/mocha credentials, rather than dessert.

Ristorante Umbria's Mocha Latte

It was served more like a cappuccino, in a short, wide cup, with a mountain of frothy foam on top (um, see the title of the blog… no foam please…). Of course my main complaint about serving it this way is you had best drink it quickly or it goes cold.

But, on the taste front, Umbria passes with flying colors.
