Modern Italian Restaurant Itria Expected to Open In the Mission This Spring — Bringing With It Square Pizzas A pair of seasoned restaurateurs from notable Bay Area eateries, like AL’s Place and Rooster and Rice, is set to open a new modern Italian restaurant in the Mission District this spring. (Nonetheless: expect Hawaiian-style pies at the new restaurant.) Nature is, in fact, healing — and San Francisco's beloved dining scene, too, is coming back from the brink. New taprooms are opening. Additional, yet-menued Mexican restaurants are expected to grace the Castro. Watering holes are finding continued success in offering to-go cocktails. And sometime in the coming months, San Franciscans can expect a new Italian restaurant to make its way on the scene — pizza-centered Itria, which will take over the former space belonging to now-closed Obispo at 3266 24th Street.
