Julius Castle was built over a century ago by an Italian immigrant Julius Roz, who arrived in the City with nothing and lived to be the king of his own castle. There are few restaurants more famous and dear to the people of San Francisco than Julius Castle, and it is finally back.
After more than a decade of restoration — navigating a byzantine maze of City permitting challenges, legal proceedings, fire, landslides, and Covid — we have arrived at our goal: To welcome people back to this iconic castle and carry on its legacy. To provide a truly elevated and approachable dining experience. To embrace the diversity of San Francisco and make everyone feel like royalty. And to do all of this while striving to make our community a better place than we found it, one evening at a time.
Restauratore: Paul D. Scott
