On a quiet street in San Francisco, you walk through a small door… and suddenly find yourself in Sardinia 🇮🇹✨
@lacicciasf isn’t your typical Italian restaurant. This is not a place for show — it’s a place that tells a story through food. Chef
@maximum_conti and his wife Lorella bring the true spirit of Sardinia to the table. The menu may feel unfamiliar, but every dish carries depth and character.
From the first plates, the Mediterranean feeling hits you 🌊
Bottarga pasta… bold, salty, intensely oceanic.
Gnocchi… soft, simple, perfectly balanced.
Octopus… light, glossy with olive oil.
Even a simple arugula & parmesan salad feels elevated.
The philosophy here is clear:
few ingredients, maximum flavor.
And then comes the wine 🍷
@pc_bevco
Cantina Terlan’s Vorberg Pinot Bianco Riserva…
@cantinaterlano
From the high altitudes of Northern Italy, it brings minerality, vibrant acidity, and a subtle creamy texture. With seafood and bottarga, it’s simply a perfect match — each sip unfolding deeper with every bite.
What makes La Ciccia special is this:
No fine dining pressure, yet incredibly refined.
Small, intimate, real.
There’s a reason it’s been featured among San Francisco’s top restaurants ⭐
Some places don’t need Michelin stars to stay with you.
La Ciccia is one of them.
