Former SF Fire Commissioner and Subject of April Attack Has Ties to Upcoming FiDi Restaurant | Eater SF

"I'm noting a forthcoming restaurant arriving in FiDi from an unlikely restaurateur: Don Carmignani, a 52‑year‑old former San Francisco fire commissioner, who has applied for a beer-and-wine liquor license for Il Porcellino Grasso at 214 California Street. The name translates to “the fat piglet,” and the Carmignani family owns the building where it's being installed — which also houses the 2ONE2 California Dispensary and once housed chef Dave Kurtz's cafe Homage. The extent of Carmignani’s operational involvement is currently unclear; he has also been in recent headlines after being attacked, with the assailant claiming self-defense over unrelated pepper‑spray incidents that Carmignani denies." - Dianne de Guzman
