Fior d'Italia
From the beginning, Fior d'Italia
has served authentic Northern Italian cuisine. Today,
Chef Gianni Audieri continues that tradition. He and
owner Bob Larive agree that 'real' Italian should be
the focus of the restaurant's menu.
"Traditional Italian cuisine has
soul," says Chef Audieri, "too much of what is being
served today in 'Italian' restaurants is not authentic
... Although there is always the temptation to chase
some of the new trends, we think they are only
temporary and don't serve us and our long term goals
and run contrary to our traditions.
" The restaurant offers close to
ninety items on its very extensive menu. "The Fior's"
customers rate the Calamari, Gnocchi, Osso Buco and
Caesar Salad as the best in San Francisco. Veal and
pasta dishes are also highly rated. The restaurant
makes most of the pasta it serves in house, along with
all of the sauces. Essentially, almost everything
served at the restaurant is prepared on site and is
fresh from the Fior d'Italia kitchen.
