During my stay at San Francisco, I found that there’re two very popular Italian restaurants in the same neighborhood that I was living in (Noe Valley). Both restaurants featured a dish I don’t see in LA: Sardinian Cured Tuna heart Spaghetti. I knew I have to try both before I came back to LA.
Wine Tasting. The wine label tags are a great idea!
Escarole, Pluot, Marigolds & Pepper Salad $7
Handkerchief Pasta with Rustic Pork Ragu and Duck Egg $12 Perfectly cooked and very tasty.
Spaghettini, Sardinian Cured Tuna Heart, Egg Yolk & Parsley $11 The cured tuna heart taste has a olive-y salty and umami flavor. The egg yolk added a nice creamy texture, I love it.
Duck Leg, Cabbage, Giblets & Hazelnuts $26 Tender and flavorful, very good.
Penna Cotta
Just like every restaurant in SF, there’re always lines even for the neighborhood joint. You have to make a rsvp for this place. Their dishes on the small menu are all very interesting and not your generic Italian flare, I wanted to try everything.
