Best 27-Year-Old Pasta

Starstruck by the infusion of haute rustic Italian being served in SF, we can sometimes forget what’s been here since the get-go. For the last 27 years, Carlo Middione at Vivande has rolled and pulled some of the finest pasta around. One bite of his ethereal scrigno di venere, a “beggar’s purse” of thin pasta filled with ham, peas, onion and bechamel sauce and set on a bed of cream and prosciutto, and this just may become your favorite Italian joint—all over again.
