La Connessa

"La Connessa, an Italian trattoria from the restaurant group behind fine dining staple Spruce, debuted in the Potrero Hill neighborhood in 2023 along with sister spots Magic Donuts & Coffee and Louie’s Original. It’s a stunning and spacious dinner destination, where the kitchen pushes out plates such as tagliatelle bolognese and local rock cod en brodo. Antipasti include focaccio di recco, chicken liver crostini, and tuna carpaccio, while entrees cover pasta, rib-eye tagliata, and five kinds of pizza." - Eater Staff, Flora Tsapovsky

"That would be the new trattoria from the Bacchus group (Spruce, the Village Pub, etc.), in that swanky new development over in Potrero Hill, next door to sourdough donuts and English muffin burgers. I swung in with a chef friend on a Monday night, and it’s a pretty dining room filled with moody blues and geometric tiled floors. We dug into the pillowy pizza and lemony spaghetti, and both agreed the pollo al mattone was the winner. That little chicken was brined until juicy, stripped of essential bones, and flattened to within an inch of her life, to crisp up every conceivable inch of skin. She arrives swimming in her own juices, with a couple of sweet cipollini onions and pops of briny capers." - Dianne de Guzman

"The group will also open Italian restaurant La Connessa on September 25 on the ground floor of the development, alongside Magic Donuts & Coffee, which will debut on October 2." - Paolo Bicchieri
