This Week In Food: Seven Bay Area Spots Make North America's 50 Best
"This week we had news of the opening of Via Aurelia, the new fine-dining offshoot of Che Fico, coming next week to the Mission Rock development. The restaurant takes Tuscany as its inspiration, and you can expect plenty of pomp in the service, with the goal of making the dining experience a bit more theatrical, like it was in olden times."
"A new liquor store/bottle shop is opening in the same complex as Faletti Foods grocery store in NoPa, and it's called Bitters & Bottles. It's a second location for the South San Francisco-based business, opening at the corner of Fell and Broderick, and it will bring the neighborhood its first, upscale bottle shop when it opens hopefully this fall? We'll update you when we know more."
"Hoodline brought the sad news this week that Wilkommen, the indoor/outdoor beer garden in the Castro from the Black Hammer Brewing team, is shutting its doors as of October 3. Owners say they will be "focus[ing] our efforts and resources on the brewing side of the business," and this leaves a prominent restaurant space at Sanchez and Market up for grabs."
Via Aurelia will open next week at the Mission Rock development as a fine-dining offshoot of Che Fico. The restaurant takes Tuscany as its inspiration and plans theatrical, pomp-filled service modeled on older dining traditions. Joe Betz, the longtime owner of House of Prime Rib, died at 86; his son Steven continues to run the restaurant. Bitters & Bottles will open in NoPa at Fell and Broderick inside the Faletti Foods complex as a second South San Francisco location and as the neighborhood's first upscale bottle shop, likely this fall. Wilkommen in the Castro will close on October 3 so owners can focus on brewing. A Castro Starbucks on 18th Street will close as part of a nationwide wave of 120 closures. Burdell in Oakland will host the Grandma Series x Meet the Winemaker Dinner on October 12 featuring Darryl Bell and Matthiasson winemaker Steve.
