San Francisco
Italian Restaurant

Although San Francisco offers a never-ending supply of Italian eateries, none will feel quite as authentic as La Ciccia. This rustic, Noe Valley spot is Sardinia’s culinary ambassador to the city, boasting a cuisine specific to that Mediterranean island. Traditional entrees include fregola with sea urchin and smoked pancetta, a glorious bottarga (salt-cured fish roe), and, for dessert, <em>truta de arrescottu</em>: Sardinian ricotta and saffron cake with honey and toasted almond.

Bottarga! Glorious bottarga. This delicious fish roe, salted and cured, is served at La Ciccia with spaghetti. The roe is basically a cross of uni and bacon in powder form. In other words: heaven. It’s the signature fishy seasoning of Sardinia that packs the flavor power of anchovy without the salty-brininess. La Ciccia is Sardinia’s culinary ambassador to our city, representing the oft-neglected island over 200 miles west of the mainland. Other dishes of note include the Artisanal Fusilli pasta with sea urchin, tomato, and grated tuna heart, and Oven-Roasted Whole Prawns with basil oil and parsley.
