Description

Chic, whitewashed, high-ceilinged room in the Mission District, featuring the cuisine of Liguria, a region of Italy whose capital is the seacoast town of Genova. Farina Focaccia & Cucina Italiana's pastas are all house-made, and might include handkerchief pasta with pesto, and the pansotti in a creamy sauce with finely chopped nuts. The secondi could include filet mignon in a rich mushroom sauce, and carefully cooked tuna paired with burrata and heirloom tomatoes. Don't miss the extraordinary Italian desserts.
