- Food, Restaurants, Cafes:
We are proud to offer this ever-evolving selection of wines, beer, sweet and savory bites, and soft drinks. Curated by three local standouts, the inspiration here is drawn from the history and location of the venerable building that houses us. The building was built by John and Johanna Fugazi and given in trust to the community of North Beach. Today we sit at the intersection of Little Italy and Chinatown and you will see offerings of both in our list. We also have prioritized gifted local purveyors to hopefully create a diverse and vibrant mix of options equal to the diverse and vibrant talents on our stage, and one that invites you to explore these businesses more deeply on your own.
Chef Auden Golder (Jardiniere) and Pastry Chef Michelle Golder (B-Patisserie) curate our offering of small and shareable plates.
- Bars & Lounges:
- Vito Passero (Vivande, Oliveto) curates the wine, beer, and soft drink offerings.
