SF’s Oldest Wood-Fired Brick Pizza Oven and Friends

Written by admin on August 5, 2009 – 12:23 am -

Two weekends ago, Azusa’s good friend, Kanako and her boyfriend, Wataru, visited us all the way from Japan! Wataru was running in the SF Marathon that weekend so we got a chance to see them for a few days.

On Friday evening, we went out to an excellent pizza joint in Little Italy called, “Tommaso Ristorante Italiano,” best know for “the first wood-fired brick pizza oven on the West Coast”. The line was almost 45 min. for us and it was around 5:45pm! It was well worth the wait and I can’t wait to go back. Most everything we had was delicious, especially the clams and definitely their famous pizzas!

I had forgotten my camera so pics are courtesy of Kanako.

On Saturday, Kanako, Azusa, and I went out to downtown Berkeley for the day. Wataru stayed in to rest for his marathon race early Sunday morning. We ate some lunch at the Berkeley Farmer’s Market and also some sushi later on that day!

*On a side note, Wataru ran the SF Marathon in 3:08 hours! Congrats!

Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market

Written by admin on September 20, 2008 – 6:07 pm -

This morning we took a trolley out to The Embarcadero where the Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market is held every Tuesday and Saturday mornings.

Merchants set up tents outside the building with fresh produce from their own farms. Farmers from Petaluma, CA, Santa Cruz, CA, and even Southern CA farmers were there with their products. Most were all organic produce and fruits. We also found farmers selling eggs, honey, bakeries, and other specialties.

We had a taste of some tomatos from Santa Cruz and they were so sweet we had to buy some. Grapes were plentiful and peaches/plums/pluots were a hit.

Cool place to go if you ever need some super fresh items for your cooking.
