"Lucca Ravioli Co., a treasure of San Francisco’s Italian-American culinary heritage, will close at 1100 Valencia Street (on the corner 22nd Street). The owner of the grocer, pasta maker, and Italian goods importer, Michael Feno, is selling the building, which his family’s business has occupied since 1925. Lucca’s final day is April 20. Lucca is best known for its pastas like ravioli and tagliarini, which passersby can watch employees make though a window from the street. The store also sells Italian meats, sandwiches, wines, and cheeses in an old-school atmosphere: Employees still don their Lucca paper hats, for example." - Caleb Pershan
