Barberio Osteria

"Dish: Whole oak coal roasted mackerel  The whole mackerel roasted over oak coals at Barberio Osteria in the Mission is perfectly charred on the outside and juicy within. It’s a flaky masterpiece, surrounded by salsa verde, Calabrian chiles, green olives, onion, herbs, and a charred lemon. Squeeze the lemon, coat it in salsa verde, and chase your forkful with a Calabrian chile for the ideal acidic, herbal, and spicy bite. The other great news is that you can choose from three different fish options, depending on your group size and appetite: mackerel (1-2 people), petrale sole (3-5 people), and chili pepper rockfish (2-4 people).

"This neighborhood Italian restaurant comes from the team behind Altovino including chef Nick Kelly, wife and AltoVino wine director Calli Martinez, and business partner Saul Magana. As at the sister spot, they’re letting the menu rotate regions with the seasons so while winter might mean triangoli stuffed with squash, mascarpone, Parmigiano, and warm spices, summer should bring Southern Italian island food to the table. Don’t skip a glass of wine; the entire list comes from Italy save for a few bottles of French Champagne." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff

"At Barberio Osterio, Chef Nick Kelly prepares anchovies with salsa verde and buffalo mozzarella whey-poached white asparagus, Calabrian chiles, caperberries, and mustard greens." - Dianne de Guzman
