This restaurant is a New York-Cali-Ital dream team in a quiet, constantly foggy neighborhood. Its owners worked with Mario Batali and at Brooklyn’s Franny’s, while chef Dante Cecchini is well-known from his days at Marlowe. He’s proving that pastoral Italian grandma’s cooking can be invigorating -- just try the al dente chitarra pasta and tomato braised chicken that, in other hands, could be boring. If the clam pizza doesn’t wow you, the family-friendly atmosphere might make Fiorella the happiest place in the city.

Pre-pandemic, Fiorella’s original Inner Richmond location’s dreamy back garden was one of our favorite spots for outdoor dining. That’s still true, but it has some serious competition from the newest Fiorella in the Inner Sunset, where they’ve made outdoor magic yet again with a plant-filled rooftop oasis (they’re also offering brunch and serving cocktails). Considering there’s delicious pizza at both locations, there’s really no going wrong here.
How to book: Make reservations online for the Sunset location. Reservations for the Richmond location can also be made online.
