I spent Monday and Tuesday of this week in San Francisco at the O'Reilly Velocity conference. After scouring Yelp for a little while, Mark, JJ and I decided that Tommaso's in North Beach looked like a fun place for dinner on Sunday night. Luckily, we arrived just ahead of the rush and were seated almost immediately; by the time we left, a crowd of people waiting for a table spilled out onto the sidewalk.We had a couple of pretty good pizzas, a plate of assorted cured meats, and some pickled vegetables. While not insanely great, it was good value, everything was pretty cheap.
This wine, recommended by our extremely effficient server, may have been the highlight of the meal. Nero d'Avola is a grape cultivated in Sicily, originally near the town of Avola in the south of the island. This bottle was light and easy to drink, with soft tannins and a lovely floral nose.
