"You won’t see a tagliatelle bolognese or spaghetti and clams at this Mission pot. Instead, you’ll find California-Italian pasta dishes made with interesting, seasonal ingredients on their often-changing menu. One day they might serve cappelletti with mint and artichoke, or triangoli with fava beans and preserved Meyer lemons the next. And since you’re going to want to try every dish from this pasta Hall of Famer, get their $135 tasting menu, which also comes with several small plates like mushroom arancini and creamy truffle sformato.
