Sausalito meets the Italian coast at this handsome restaurant overlooking Bridgeway and the Sausalito marina. Peter McNee takes an artisan approach to cooking -- grilling lamb's tongue over oak wood, making his own burrata, crafting light potato gnocchi and tossing it with a rabbit ragout. He also gathers much of the produce from the restaurant's garden to use in such recipes as long-cooked spigariello soup. Owner Larry Mindel, who brought the Il Fornaio chain to prominence, opened this all-day restaurant seven years ago, installing a timeless interior featuring terra cotta floors, marble baseboards and mahogany arches.

 
Specialties: Menu changes daily but includes ribollita (twice-cooked bread soup); Dungeness crab salad; agnolotti with braised pig's trotters; wood-fired pizza; whole roasted petrale sole; lemon mousse.
