"I swung into La Connessa, the new trattoria from the Bacchus Group in that swanky Potrero Hill development next door to sourdough donuts and English muffin burgers, and found a pretty dining room in moody blues with geometric tiled floors. We dug into pillowy pizza and lemony spaghetti, and both agreed the smashed bird — the pollo al mattone — was the winner: brined until juicy, stripped of essential bones, and flattened to crisp up every conceivable inch of skin, arriving swimming in its own juices with a couple of sweet cipollini onions and pops of briny capers." - Dianne de Guzman
