"Aurora Centro had a brief stint in Salesforce Park before moving to the Mission and becoming Studio Aurora, a loungey Italian-ish lunch restaurant (for now—extended hours and a longer menu of tapas and wine are in the works). And just like its former version, Studio Aurora continues the panini legacy with crusty sandwiches layered with mortadella, curried chickpeas, and tuna confit. Music is still a focus, too—not only is the lofted space home to a local radio station, but the restaurant also sells records. Or, if non-perishable fish is more your speed, head to the stock of imported tinned sardines and anchovies available for purchase." - Patrick Wong
