The Napa Valley favorite is newly reopened and better than ever, thanks to Christopher and Martina Kostow, who you may know from the Restaurant at Meadowood and the Charter Oak. Here, you’ll find pizza, pasta, salads, and so much more, all with a little Kostow twist.

The team behind the stellar Ungrafted has unveiled a new wine bar right next door to Chase Center. As at Ungrafted, expect top-tier wine and food options to mix and match as you wish. A crew of master sommeliers handles the wine, while chef David Aviles has built the menu around Mediterranean flavors.

A boulangerie and cafe by day and a full-scale restaurant by night, Troubador already has Healdsburg abuzz. You’ll want to grab a Resy for the evening affair, wherein the team produces a French-inspired, six-course prix fixe menu that blends classic and modern.

Now that Cassava has opened in North Beach, Yuka Iori and Kris Toliao have resurrected their beloved Richmond restaurant space as a wine bar, appropriately titled Wine Bar by Cassava. You’ll find a rotating menu of fun wines, plus a short-but-smart menu of snacks.

At this all-day restaurant from chef Matt Accarrino, expect similar California-centric Italian fare as SPQR, only with breakfast, lunch, and early dinner vibes. That means popping in for biscuit sandwiches and candy cap lattes in the a.m., and rolling through wood-fired porchetta skewers and other spiedini, plus handmade pastas (of course) like agnolotti with arugula pesto later in the day.

Once you find this spot, hidden on the former naval station in Alameda, you’re rewarded with French-American classics with a heavy California focus and cocktails as good as anything you’d find in busier locales. Have a few bites, like smoked trout rillettes and an excellent clam chowder, or go big with a meaty burger or green curry salmon. Freezer martinis and Manhattans are a nice touch.

After one bite of chef Paul Iglesias’ posta negra — a beef short rib braised in cola and panela — you’ll realize how glad you are to have a new local spot for Colombian food. Contemporary but rooted in tradition, Parche packs a wallop of flavor and vibes in a colorful space that feels like a party. And it kind of is, especially when dining with a group, so you can share everything on the menu.

After hitting with Khamsa in the Mission, the same family extends its reach with the Morocco-meets-California flavors L’Mida. The decorative space is transportative, as is the food: flatbreads from the oven, aromatic tagine, and grilled whole fish with homemade harissa. Order a lot, bring friends, and commiserate over mint tea.

Like its sibling Kaiyo, it’s hard to focus on anything other than the stunning wrap-around views from Cavaña’s 17-story perch. But the cocktails and dishes, all tinged with Latin and South American influences, will pull your attention away for a few moments. Think: flaky pastels stuffed with Brazilian braised beef, cool aguachiles, low-intervention wines from Mexico, and a milk punch made with Bolivian brandy and hoja santa.

The menu at this cozy corner Nob Hill charmer belies its modest decor. Taking cues from his Emilia-Romagna upbringing, chef GianMarco Cosmi creates ethereal pasta dishes, like ravioli carbonara with pecorino foam and passatelli with porcini mushrooms, among a smattering of antipasti. Don’t leave without at least one bite of panna cotta.

From the same team behind Novato’s Boca Pizzeria, Mamita celebrates the flavors of Oaxaca, from the chiles and spices for the mole coloradito to the wood-fired carne asada and vegetables tucked into tacos and tortas. Craving a margarita? A Tequila cart will bring the spirits right to your table.

The Pacific Heights corner of Fillmore and California is now home to Pinsa Rossa, which specializes in — you guessed it — pinsa, the Roman-style pizza sweeping San Francisco.
