The San Francisco Italian Language Meetup Group

Benvenuti, Italian Language Lovers!!!!
Want to speak the Italian Language with other Italians and "appassionati" della Bella Lingua, make new friends and network with native and non-native Italian speakers?
You've come to the right Meetup. The San Francisco Italian Language Meetup group offers you that opportunity. We schedule a variety of events that provide our "soci" with the opportunity to speak Italian at an intermediate or higher level, meet other Italians and Italian culture lovers and participate in Italian cultural, recreational and language events throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area. *This is not a Beginner's Italian speaking group, as the idea is to speak only in Italian. If you do not yet speak Italian, we encourage you to maybe attend the film events, etc. and there are many other Meetups in SF for Beginner's. Of course, nobody is turned away, but we ask that you speak 'solo in italiano' at our events as that is the focus of the Meetup group, grazie!
We have multiple fixed, monthly meetups for caffe' e aperitivi...and also cene, film screenings, cultural events, and more. And if you have an idea for a venue/event/activity, please feel free to message the Organizer (Kelly) - events don't need to be Italy-related, we just speak in italiano. 
Here's a selection of events offered (events all take place in italiano):

• "Porta Da Mangiare e Bere" feste (pot-luck buffets)
  "Pizze Fatte Da Noi" feste (homemade pizza)
  "Cena e Cinema" (dinner & a movie)
  Ora Felice dopo Lavoro (Happy Hour after work)
  Grigliate (BBQs)
  "Mangiamo Insieme" (fixed price Italian restaurant dining)
