Casual coastal Italian cuisine in Noe Valley.
Starting with the wine list, it consists of a fun unique selection of Italian, French, Spanish and Basque wines. Try the Txomin Extaniz Txakolina as a fantastic pairing with seafood.
While the menu is actually small, absolutely everything is excellent. The arctic char on top of celery root puree covered with a poached egg is wonderful, and the butterfish sealed in parchment is an absolutely an inspiration in richness and warmth.
I wasn't quite so fascinated with the desserts, I found the flavor balance a bit off compared to the main courses, and also a bit dry on the torte. The cannoli is probably the best choice here.
