The look is modern and sophisticated
yet the California cuisine with rustic Italian influences is the
grounding element in this San Francisco dining experience. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner menus showcase the bounty of seasonal ingredients from the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market. Some highlights
include artichoke hearts with a salt cod "baccala" stuffing
and Meyer lemon aioli; house-made Maine lobster and ham hock ravioli
topped with a golden lobster zabaglione; and a New York steak
served with a bone marrow and lemon risotto, dandelion greens
and a Barolo sauce. The kitchen's handmade pastas and savory baker's
pies draw raves including the playful "Margarita" pizza
with nopales (cactus), pickled jalapeno, Fontina cheese, cilantro,
a sea-salt crust and a wedge of lime to squeeze over the top.
