Suisse::Italia Café & Catering Company is a casual dining restaurant and corporate catering service located on the spacious and beautiful plaza of 101 California Street in San Francisco. Established in 1980 by a husband and wife team (he�s Swiss, she�s Italian), Suisse::Italia has long been a popular culinary fixture in the City�s Financial District.

Our menu focuses on freshness and variety and our service philosophy is to guarantee complete and consistent customer satisfaction. Never losing sight of what we do best and understanding the needs of our customers has made Suisse::Italia a favorite dining spot for office workers and the most popular office catering company in San Francisco.

Our European-style cafe is a bright and colorful space with floor to ceiling windows that look onto the largest urban plaza in downtown San Francisco. Outdoor tables and chairs offer al fresco dining with a close-up view of flowers, flowing fountain and California Street with its historic cable cars.

The self-serve café features a 30-foot long display case brimming with a wonderful selection of salads, panini sandwiches and hot and cold daily specials. Service is professional, friendly and quick.

Suisse::Italia’s catering service can provide everything at your office location that we serve in our café: from a nutritious breakfast to a full evening hors d’oeuvres reception and all things in between. Our menu changes with the seasons and you’ll always find something new and creative at “Suisse.”

For over 20 years Catering Manager, Rhonda Price, has served the catering needs of our corporate clients–hundreds of businesses, both large and small.

Discover for yourself why San Francisco businesses rely on Suisse::Italia for all their food service needs. We invite you to visit our busy café for a delicious breakfast or lunch and to call Rhonda for your catering orders and requests.
