Berkeley’s Five Makes Way for New Mediterranean Restaurant This Summer | Eater SF

"Set to open in late summer at the Hotel Shattuck Plaza (2086 Allston Way) after a thorough remodel by SF-based designer Anthony Laurino, Zino will be a Mediterranean restaurant led by executive chef Brandon Hicks, whose experience includes Michelin-starred Picholine and New York’s ilili and Brasserie 8 1/2. Hicks says the menu will feature dishes from the region’s 22 countries, with seafood, meat and poultry dishes, a selection of mezze, and tagines presented in big Mediterranean vessels; the bar program will include cocktails, beer, and wine. Renderings show the space’s high ceilings and layout largely unchanged but refreshed with new furnishings." - Caleb Pershan
