On Monday, January 15th, San Francisco will welcome Il Parco, an Italian-inspired cafe and pizzeria. Owned and operated by the Buen Rallo Group and led by restaurateur Eduardo Rallo, Il Parco will have a fresh take on Italian classics, reimagined with California’s seasonal bounty. Open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, happy hour and dinner, this establishment invites patrons to embark on a journey from daybreak to twilight, complete with a full bar and a wine program. Guests may enjoy their food at any number of public picnicking locations nearby, taking advantage of the park’s Golden Gate views and open green spaces.
The pizza menu at Il Parco was created with the help of Pizza Consultant Anthony Falco, who worked with Chef Daniel Gomez to develop a menu that celebrates the essence of Italian cuisine with a Californian twist. Since 2017, Anthony has been an International Pizza Consultant, helping businesses around the world translate their pizza dreams into reality. Anthony has crafted pizza programs and built world-class food brands. Il Parco patrons can expect salads filled with fresh, seasonal produce, focaccia pizzas featuring a variety of Italian and Californian sourced toppings, pastries, and locally sourced coffee from Equator Coffees.
“Opening Il Parco within the historic Presidio neighborhood is a privilege I hold with immense pride,” said Eduardo Rallo, The Owner of Il Parco in a statement. “We’ve meticulously crafted a menu that celebrates Italian cuisine reimagined with California’s freshest seasonal ingredients. Beyond the exquisite focaccia pizzas, you’ll find a love letter to handcrafted excellence, expressed in every plate.”
At the heart of Il Parco’s culinary journey lies a focaccia, crafted to serve as the foundation for pan pizzas bursting with seasonal toppings and sandwiches filled with fresh, artisanal ingredients. Guests can enjoy Il Parco in several different ways, including:
- The Cafe: Serving brewed Equator coffee, paired with scones or creamy yogurt parfaits layered with berries and granola.
- Cocktail & Wine program: Serving Il Parco’s canned cocktails, including a margarita, aperol spritz and negroni. Also serving a selection of local and Italian wines.
- Lunch & Dinner: Italian classics reimagined with California’s bounty, from Mortadella Pistachio and Muffuletta paninis to Potato Rosemary and Spicy Soppressata and Honey pizzas. If you’re looking for greenery, Il Parco offers Calabrian Ranch, Sicilian Fennel and Stracciatella Tomato salads.
Il Parco is supporting local businesses and partnering with purveyors who share its commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients. In addition to using a combination of California and Italian-based ingredients, Il Parco is also collaborating with La Cocina, a champion of diverse culinary voices, furthering its commitment to the San Francisco community.
