Tucked away on Larimer St. the Red Square Euro Bisto is everything a Soviet ere restaurant wasn't! Great food in good quantities and a fun, lively atmosphere.

For starters, I had Schi, the classic Russian Soup made with cabbage, carrots, potatoes, red peppers, beef bouillon, and sour cream. For an entree, Grilled Rack of Lamb (served with sautéed baby zucchini, roasted shallots, orange-fennel reduction).

The staff was knowledgeable and well-versed in the menu. Most importantly, our water was able to guide us through the selection of vodkas on the menu. Our choice: Prazdnichnaya.

Fuzio Universal Pasta is a small chain (locations in the California, Nevada, and Missouri (one of these things is not like the other!).

I visited the Fuzio location on Chestnut St. in San Francisco. It was well after the lunch rush and my party had the full attention of the wait staff.

I had the soup/sandwich combo and selected the ginger carrot soup and Italian club. The soup was quite good, but a little heavy on the ginger (in case you're not a big ginger fan - but then why would you order this in the first place?). The Italian club was on grilled focaccia with chicken, salami, bacon, and cheese. Just the right seasonings (Caesar dressing) topped it off.

A tasty meal for a good price.

Dish: carrot ginger soup and Italian club grilled sandwich, "light tropical" ice tea
