At our restaurant, Chef Valentino connects his Italian roots directly to the vibrant bounty of the Bay Area. His menu balances classic Northern Italian tradition with a celebration of fresh, local coastal flavors.
From his homeland, he brings a masterful touch to classic Venetian fritto misto, comforting bowls of handmade pasta like pappardelle with slow-cooked ragù, and pillows of home-made ricotta gnocchi. He honors his deep connection to San Francisco by elevating local seaside staples, including a spectacular San Francisco-style Cioppino brimming with fresh prawns, clams, mussels, and calamari in a rich, aromatic wine-and-herb broth.
