Fiorella Noe

"Noe Valley is now home to Fiorella’s fourth San Francisco location, with some unique Noe-only additions to the Fiorella formula. Those who like to be close to the action may enjoy the six-seat pizza bar with a view of the kitchen, and it’s worth taking advantage of the pizza bar-only snacks, such as panuozzo, a sort of pizza dough sandwich. Delve into the location’s pizza and pasta menu while also taking advantage of the restaurant’s spritz-heavy drink lineup, and if you’re more in the mood to eat at home, a convenient to-go window will certainly help with that." - Dianne de Guzman, Lauren Saria

"Local Italian mini-chain Fiorella has opened their fourth city location, this time in Noe Valley. They’ve got the same menu of wood-fired pizzas, housemade pastas, and weekend brunch as their other locations. They also have 12 different spritzes on offer, like a Strawberry Sbagliato with strawberry-infused vermouth and a Purple Rain with blueberry amaro. There’s also a six-person pizza bar where you can watch the pizzas getting made. " - ricky rodriguez

"Wood-fired pizza, pasta, and lots and lots of spritzes land in Noe Valley with the debut of Fiorella Noe on Wednesday, June 26. The restaurant’s fourth location takes a page out of the Fiorella playbook with pizza, seasonal dishes, and a standout bar program — plus that popular Bay Area toile wallpaper — but there are a few notable additions that make the new location all its own. Fiorella Noe will start with dinner service during its opening week, but on Friday, July 5, the restaurant will begin hosting lunch and brunch through the weekend. Fiorella bar director Daniel Burns is introducing a “spritz station” with plenty of aperitivi and amari bottles at the ready. The restaurant will also feature a convenient to-go window for neighbors to pick up a meal for home. Fiorella Noe will be open 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, and 4:30 to 9 p.m. on Sunday. Starting Friday, July 5, the restaurant will launch lunch and brunch options for the weekend, opening from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Friday, and 10 a.m to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday." - Dianne de Guzman

"Fiorella's fourth location in Noe Valley offers the same favorite Italian food, a deep selection of spritzes, a six-seat pizza bar, and a convenient takeout window." - Dianne de Guzman

"Fiorella is no longer an if-you-know-you-know type restaurant in San Francisco. There’s the original Clement Street outpost with Bay Area legends depicted on the wallpaper, plus the double-decker Inner Sunset location with its hidden bar, and even an outpost on Russian Hill. But that popularity is well-earned, as the hospitality and ambiance at all locations are dialed-in, professional, and high-caliber. Plus, this luxurious Roman-style pasta is available at all three. Sharp black pepper, primo pecorino, and butter is a tough trifecta to beat on just about any starchy dish. It’s been said many times: Salt and pepper with cheese just tastes good. Of all the iterations sampled in research for this highly scientific article, nowhere was that truer than with these gluten-free noodles at Fiorella. The house-made, gluten-free chitarra, a staple for cacio e pepe, was more or less indistinguishable from conventional noodles, and over-the-top creaminess makes it an ideal style for gluten-free noodles anyway." - Paolo Bicchieri
