Review: KEIKO à Nob Hill.
I’m always on the hunt for great restaurants especially whenever I’m back in the Bay Area. Over this past summer, I kept reading reviews about KEIKO à Nob Hill, a one Michelin star restaurant located in the Nob Hill area of San Francisco. What interested me the most about KEIKO à Nob Hill was that the restaurant served modern Japanese cuisine with French influences. Continue reading
Review: Mourad.
I was very excited and intrigued to try the hot new restaurant called Mourad that just opened up six weeks ago located inside the PacBell Building on New Montgomery Street in San Francisco. The chef, Mourad Lahlou from Marrakesh, actually has another restaurant in the city called Aziza, a one Michelin star Moroccan inspired restaurant (you can read my review here under my San Francisco post, be sure to scroll down towards the end of the post).

Review: Bouchon.
Anyone and everyone knows of the famous American chef Thomas Keller, a culinary god. He’s the only American chef to own two three Michelin starred restaurants, The French Laundry in Yountville and Per Se in New York City. Now I would have died to go eat at The French Laundry again (too bad I was five years old when I ate there) but the restaurant is currently closed for renovation! So I decided to have a relaxing lunch in Yountville at chef Keller’s one Michelin star restaurant, Bouchon, a classic French inspired bistro. Continue reading
Review: SPQR.
Since being back in California, I’ve actually been craving Italian food! After all, I have been living in Florence for almost four years and I’m used to eating pasta three to four times a week or even more! Now SPQR, a one Michelin star restaurant in San Francisco, isn’t exactly the type of Italian food I might be eating back in Italy. Continue reading

State Bird Provisions has been the hotspot in San Francisco since their opening back in 2012 and earned a Michelin star in 2014. State Bird Provisions, a New American/Californian cuisine restaurant, is so popular that they are booked for two months straight! Therefore, getting a reservation here is almost impossible but the restaurant does keep a portion of available seats open for walk-ins. Continue reading

Commis, a modern New American/Californian cuisine restaurant located on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, was established back in 2009 and received its Michelin star four months after its opening. The restaurant offers one prix fixe nightly menu, that changes frequently depending on what products and ingredients are available, with multiple small courses showcasing beautiful refined food.

Review: Metamorfosi.
After spending a great summer in California, I headed back to my second home in Florence. My boyfriend, Tommaso, had been doing a culinary stage at Metamorfosi, a one Michelin star restaurant in Rome. Continue reading
Review: Sons & Daughters.
Sons & Daughters, a one Michelin star restaurant, located in the Nob Hill area of San Francisco serves New American cuisine with a Californian twist. This quaint farm-to-table restaurant provides a tasting menu as the only dining option.

Amalfi Coast and the Island of Capri.
Lush green mountains and multicolored buildings make up the landscape of the coastal gems of the Amalfi Coast and the island of Capri, located in the Campania region of Southern Italy. I’ve been fortunate to visit both of these places twice and every time I visit it’s absolutely breath taking. The Amalfi Coast is made up of small towns all situated along cliffs. The main towns and most visited ones are Amalfi, Positano, and Ravello, all beautiful in their own way. Continue reading
