## La Connessa: A Modern Italian Gem in San Francisco
Step into La Connessa and be transported to a world of culinary delight. This modern Italian trattoria, nestled in the heart of Potrero Hill, offers a vibrant atmosphere and a menu that celebrates the best of Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist.
The space is a feast for the eyes, boasting a stunning slate blue and metallic gold palette, an expansive illuminated bar, and exceptional art deco design. High ceilings and a beautiful, elevated vibe create a perfect setting for both special occasions and casual meals.
The menu, crafted with the finest hand-selected ingredients, features a range of classic dishes reimagined with modern influences. From expertly blistered wood-fired pizzas to hearty secondi selections, including hand-made pastas, bistecca, and local seafood, La Connessa promises an unforgettable dining experience.
Start your journey with delectable antipasti like roasted jimmy nardello peppers and roasted artichokes. Then, indulge in the signature Spaghettino al Limone, a symphony of flavors with fresh lemon, garlic, and parmesan. For a truly special occasion, savor the succulent bistecca, grilled to perfection and served with seasonal vegetables.

Everything was great. I made a reservation for 6pm but their computer system had us listed for 5:30 so we had to wait a few minutes for them to get a table set up, but the staff were very accommodating and made it with the wait.

I absolutely love La Connessa. I have been there many times and it’s definitely a go to restaurant. The ambiance is swanky, the wait staff is professional and friendly and the food is consistently delicious. Everything on the menu is delicious but whatever you order make sure to include the focaccia di recco and spaghettino al limon. You won’t be sorry!! (Oh and the chicken is freakin amazing…)
Absolutely LOVE this place!!

Amazed that a SF restaurant is so busy on a Tuesday night! Our server was very friendly and efficient. All the staff works well together. Good selection in all the menu categories. Everything was served hot. Fresh pastas especially good. We reserved to celebrate 2 birthdays. Received a nice card at the table. We will return again.

Great spot for a date night. Intimate, great ambiance, and food is great. staff is nice but can be a bit slow, probably due a limited kitchen rather than their attentiveness
