The new restaurant/bar Dante's Table (544 Castro Street), located in the old Dancing Pig location, softly opened late last week. Jay Barmann over at Grubstreet SF setup a great slideshow of what the new restaurant's interior looks like. Custom murals from John Baden adorn the walls with quotes from Dante's Divine Comedy near the ceiling in the front dining area.

The menu consists of a variety of different Italian dishes with pizza taking center stage and a pasta dish and a steak dish rounding out the dinner selections. The restaurant will also be open during the day for breakfast, featuring coffee and pastries, and lunch service in the afternoon.
Owner Franceso D'Ippolito (also owner of Poesia around the corner) wants the place to be a "point of encounter" where you would meet friends for a cocktail and a bite to eat, decide what to do next, and then hit the Castro for a night on the town.
While the restaurant softly opened to the public this weekend, their official opening day is this Wednesday, May 1st. The restaurant will be open Tue-Sun for lunch and dinner with lunch from 11:30AM - 2:30PM and dinner from 5 -10PM with breakfast hours coming soon.
