Francis Ford Coppola: Cafe Zoetrope
Francis Coppola dreamt of becoming a world-renowned chef, but instead, he became a world-renowned filmmaker. After his jaunt in cinema, Coppola opened his family winery and Zoetrope in San Francisco, focusing on traditional Italian preparation techniques and ingredients, but Americanized far enough to be accessible to a pedestrian audience.
Cafe Zoetrope serves reserve wines from every Coppola winery, including a long list of wild fermented natural wines that Coppola holds near and dear to his heart. If you find yourself in San Francisco and you want a taste of traditional Italian fare in an extremely historic building, go check it out.
