FOODIE FRIDAY: il PARCO
Come for the bites and brews and stay for the billion dollar views at Il Parco , a new spot in San Francisco's Presidio. As Chef told me “this is a Focaccia house and everything stems from there with an emphasis on local”. The focaccia based pizzas are delish and decedent featuring toppings from housemade stracciatella and mozzarella, Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt. Tam cheese and Cypress Grove’s Humboldt Fog.
Cured meats from Berkeley’s Fra’ Mani, a marinara sauce made from Northern California's Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes, California pistachios, and more.
Don’t leave without one of their dreamy desserts:
- Banana Blueberry & Chocolate Bread
- Cinnamon Pudding Bread
- NY Cheesecake
Bay Area brews and NorCal wines are also on the menu as well as soft drinks, coffee & tea.
See you in the park just by Tunnel Tops. Il Parco is open Sunday to Thursday: 8:00 A.M.– 6:00 P.M. and Friday to Saturday: 8:00 A.M. – 6:00 P.M., no reservation required.

Created by Tony Award®-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage , MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status. In the lead role of “MJ” is Roman Banks (Broadway’s Dear Evan Hansen and “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) and he is spectacular. He has the moves, the voice and the presence too of The King of Pop.
