Though Oola is housed in a somewhat cold industrial chic space in SOMA, the food is feelgood all the way. I love the decadent chicken and foie gras ravioli with truffle oil, offered in both appetizer and entree portions. Get it as an appetizer and then order the rigatoni with cured pork shoulder as your entree. Yes, this would be two pastas back to back, but I think those are the restaurant's best dishes. Also not to be missed are the fries with parmesan and truffle oil. If you require more meat than that, the baby back ribs are also a good bet. You can get better desserts elsewhere so splurge on your calories up front.

Date place?	Sure, and try to get the two-top upstairs that overlooks the restaurant.
