A STREET NAMED DIVINE... (4 part series)

DIVINE FOOD INDULGENCE THAT IS,. WHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND A GOOD ITALIAN CAFE , PIZZERIA, A CREAMERY,  ONE OF THE BEST PATISSERIE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND A MARKET THAT OFFERS LOCAL GROWN ORGANIC PRODUCE, IMPORTED AND DOMESTIC GOURMET PRODUCTS..WITHIN 2 BLOCKS AND A SHORT STROLL FROM ONE ANOTHER BUT ON 18TH STREET BETWEEN MISSION AND GUERRERO. OH .. MY.. GOD..!!! ONE SHOULD BE SO LUCKY TO LIVE AROUND HERE AS FRIENDS AND I LITERALLY MAKE THIS A DAY TRIP, A FOOD CRAVING DESTINATION TRIP..AS A MATTER OF FACT, I BELIEVE THIS COULD VERY WELL BE LISTED AS A TOURIST ATTRACTION . OOPPPS I DIDN'T SAY THAT AS PARKING COULD BE A CHALLENGE AS IT IS ( I ALWAYS FIND ONE ON GUERRERO BY THE MISSION DOLORES CHURCH) AND THE LOCALS MIGHT BURN ME AT THE STAKE IN PROTEST TO PRESERVE THIS UNASSUMINGLY QUIET BLOCK FOOD LOVERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL BE DELIGHTED TO VISIT .

PIZZERIA DELFINA

 DELFINA, IS A SMALL, INVITING COZY ,CRACK ON A WALL NEIGHBORHOOD  PIZZERIA  WITH A  SOPHISTICATED BIG CITY OFFERINGS.  MENU  IS EARTHY AND BOLD  WITH A STRONG  INFLUENCE OF  SOUTHERN ITALY  CUISINE WHERE OWNER  WORKED AND TRAINED AS A CHEF IN THE REGION OF CALABRIA. (I GOT THIS BIT OF INFORMATION FROM ANDREA , MY VERY FAVORITER CHARMING, FRIENDLY AND VIVACIOUS SERVER. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

MY MOST FAVORED DISHES ARE:

PROSCIUTTO PIE. : OR A PIZZA BIANCA, THE CRUST IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION, I BELIEVE THIS IS ONE QUALITY THAT MAKES THIS PLACE  STAND OUT.  I MEAN YOU CAN PUT ANYTHING ON THIS CRUST AND IT WILL BE GOOD AND HERE THEIR PROSCIUTTO DI PARMA, IS JUST RIGHT, YOU TASTE HAM AND NOT SALT. AND THE PIE IS MADE CREAMY WITH FRESH MOZZARELLA,  CACIOCAVALLO , AND PANNA THEN TOPPED WITH FRESH ORGANIC ARUGULA. AND EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL , YUMMMM..... (I REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL ANCHOVIES , A VERY PERSONAL CHOICE)


ZUPPA SUNCHOKE- A DELICATELY CREAMY SOUP WITH SUNCHOKE, FLAT PASTA AND TOPPED WITH NOCELLARA OLIO NUOVO\OLIVE OIL  ( I DIE....) ANOTHER WINTER EARLY SPRING  MUST TRY TREAT.... A BIG YUMMM
