The views of Mission Bay and the Giants' ballpark hit you before the menu does, which is saying something at this fine dining Italian in Mission Rock. The room leans into sun-faded Tuscan coastal tones, warm wood, and low light that flatters everyone. Pasta is the kitchen's clearest argument: hand-rolled pici in slow-cooked garlic and tomato, Dungeness crab orzo cooked risotto-style. Esquire named the martini one of the country's finest, which gives you somewhere to start.

-
Pici all'aglione
“Don’t miss the pici all’aglione, thick hand-rolled strands coated in a slow-cooked garlic and tomato sauce.”
Condé Nast Traveler -
Maine diver scallops
“Seafood is another standout: the Maine diver scallops arrive silky and delicately sweet, balanced by burnt pear purée, hazelnut, and Golden Osetra caviar.”
Condé Nast Traveler -
Dungeness crab orzo
“Equally compelling is the Dungeness crab orzo, cooked risotto-style until creamy.”
Condé Nast Traveler -
Tortelli Mugellani
“house-made pastas, like the tortelli Mugellani, filled with a silky potato puree, sauced with a hearty ragù Toscana and topped with an airy Parmigiano espuma, are a must.”
