Palio D'Asti
our comments
Palio d’Asti is one of San Francisco’s great historic restaurants. It is housed in a building built one year after the great 1906 earthquake. The restaurant is named for the bareback horse race “Il Palio” held once a year since medieval times in Asti, Italy. The interior is sophisticated and warm, centering around the working chefs. Even with the 7,000 square foot space, the restaurant achieves intimacy. The front dining room depicts a dramatic triptych mural of “Il Palio” commissioned by owner Gianni Fasio. Chef Daniel Scherotter’s cuisine reflects the earthy foods of Tuscany and the Italian Northwest regions of Liguria and Piedmont. Sample menu options include the Insalta di Frutti Stagionali, the Chef’s stonefruit salad of peaches, plums, cherries, butter lettuce, arugula, red onions, toasted almonds, black peppered sheep’s milk cheese and nectarine vinaigrette; Mezzelune alla Monferrina, house made almond and Fontina filled half moon ravioli in broth with spinach and white truffle oil.- April 2005
