FARINA Focaccia & Cucina Italiana in San Francisco serves an exquisite and uniquely Ligurian Sunday brunch. From 11 am to 3 pm each Sunday, guests of the San Francisco Italian restaurant can enjoy unique egg plates and traditional Ligurian-style dishes prepared by Chef Laboa and his team. Guests who sit at the Chef?s Counter can watch the chefs craft traditional Italian pastries, pizza and pastas.
?Guests of FARINA really enjoy the Chef?s Counter, where they can watch our chefs make pasta by hand,? said Jessica Anaya, Guest Relations Manager at FARINA. ?The quality of our hand-made pasta and pesto is unrivaled in the Bay Area.?
Inside the restaurant, guests of FARINA?s Sunday brunch can take pleasure in the lively jazz music selected from musicians all over the world. Or they may enjoy the hustle and bustle of the street and spectacular views of the murals that blanket the nearby Women?s Building in FARINA?s outdoor dining area.
According to Anaya, FARINA draws a different crowd each week. The Mission district location is blessed with sunlight and a slightly warmer temperature the many other areas in the city, this unique micro-climate draws sun-seekers to enjoy brunch street-side. Many of FARINA?s guests are neighbors, and so they often stop to have brunch on the way to Dolores Park. The San Francisco fine dining restaurant also hosts plenty of couples, groups of friends, and has a kid-friendly menu for children.
