Peter Quartaroli of Sam’s Grill

Peter Quartaroli is the proud owner of the classic San Francisco seafood restaurant Sam’s Grill. Founded in 1867 by Irishman and oyster farmer Michael Bolan Moraghan, Sam's Grill is the fifth oldest restaurant in the country. Originally called “M. B. Moraghan’s,” the restaurant featured a classic San Francisco menu with Moraghan’s oysters as its headliner. It was later renamed Sam's Grill by owner Sam Zenovich, a change that has endured for over 100 years. Sam’s Grill has always maintained its beloved seafood specialty despite its many owners. Also an actor and producer, Peter is the heart behind the restaurant’s status as a traditional gathering place for San Francisco's iconic figures. His warm and charming personality ensures that every visitor feels like the most important person in the room. Thanks to Peter, Sam's Grill remains a cherished "clubhouse" for local SF legends.
