Next time you’re in San Francisco, consider a detour to “an under-the-radar part of town,” said Charlotte Druckman in BonAppetit.com. In what’s arguably “the most food-obsessed city in the U.S.,” little Dogpatch has become the place to find new culinary talent in first blossom. Artists, designers, and entrepreneurs currently dominate this “micro-enclave” of factory buildings and waterfront warehouses, but exciting new restaurants, bakeries, and chocolatiers are growing roots right alongside them.
Piccino A neighborhood trailblazer, this 6-year-old restaurant recently relocated to a big yellow Victorian and is now “a light-filled haven where both residents and artsy-chic visitors break for long lunches of Italian-inspired fare.” Try the pancetta pizza with broccoli shoots, garlic confit, and Meyer lemon. 1001 Minnesota St., (415) 824-4224
