"Technically a Sonoma-based company, spinning off from the legendary restaurant Molino Central, this Ferry Plaza Farmers Market mainstay serves outrageously popular tamales all year long. There are classic flavors, as well as renditions with more pizzazz like the roasted pumpkin and white cheddar tamale. The woman-owned business has more than 30 years of experience doing the damn thing; if you can’t make it to the Ferry Building, you can find a pack in numerous local grocery stores." - Becky Duffett, Eater Staff

Morella

Italian restaurant · Marina District

"Italian and Argentine cuisine combine at Morella, opened early November on the corner of Chestnut and Fillmore streets. Our name, Morella, is a derivative of the word Morel, the earthy, nutty, and rare mushroom that is prized by chefs and restaurant connoisseurs, and is featured selectively in our menu who cousins make appearances in our vibrant decor. Morella celebrates the gastronomic influences that immigrants from European countries, particularly Spain and Italy, had on Argentinian cuisine in the decades following the mass migrations at the turn of the 20th century. Morella features traditional empanadas, wood-smoked meats, pastas and internationally inspired drinks — all meant to be enjoyed in a bright convivial space."
