"The restaurant is named for an ancient road through Tuscany that connected Rome with Pisa, and Nayfeld said back in April that he envisioned the restaurant as a throwback to the old-world style of fine dining that has been largely erased from American restaurant culture in recent decades. "I'm trying to give San Francisco a reason to dine [out] again," Nayfeld told the Chronicle. "We want the country to stand up and be like, 'San Francisco is still taking major swings at restaurants.'""
"Via Aurelia remains the largest restaurant in the mix, with 216 seats and 8,000 total square feet in the base of the new Visa headquarters, and views overlooking McCovey Cove and the Bay."
"As the Chronicle reports today, the menu will be centered on a classic bistecca alla Fiorentina ($225) a 30-ounce American Wagyu porterhouse served with a Sangiovese jus and a green salad that will likely serve three or four people."
Via Aurelia opens September 30 in Mission Bay at the base of the new Visa headquarters. The restaurant occupies 8,000 square feet and seats 216, with views overlooking McCovey Cove and the Bay. Owners David Nayfeld and Matt Brewer of Che Fico conceived the concept as a throwback to old‑world Tuscan fine dining. The menu centers on a classic bistecca alla Fiorentina: a $225, 30‑ounce American Wagyu porterhouse served with a Sangiovese jus and a green salad intended for three to four people. The venue is the partners' first fine‑dining venture and the largest restaurant in the Mission Rock development.
