"The hyper-seasonal dishes at Piccino in the Presidio will make you want to gently embrace a garden box—and the housemade pastas, boiled and salted with laser-precision, are the standouts. The menu changes often, but our favorites are the fusilli with pistachio pesto or the chiocciole with fennel sausage and buttery braised kale." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
