"Chef Brad Kilgore's restaurants have only been open a short while Ama for just seven months but after the tower and the adjacent buildings were sold in February, it sounds like the new owner wanted the businesses out and jacked up the rent. Also now closed as of a few weeks ago, but just confirmed this week, is Hamburger Project's Mission location. The Divisadero original location remains open, and the team says that the Mission restaurant in a notoriously cursed restaurant space had not found enough traction with diners."
"SFist earlier reported on the opening, at long last, of Polenta, at 803 Fillmore Street in Alamo Square. The Friulian restaurant features a menu of specialties from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, along with an all-Friulian wine list. The place is still in soft-opening mode, and does not have a website, but you can reserve by phone at 415-875-9404."
"Del Popolo's final night of serving pizza on Nob Hill is tonight, and the Chronicle sat down to talk this week with owner and acclaimed pizzaiolo Jon Darsky about his decision to close. Despite the restaurant still doing good business, Darsky has decided to focus on expanding the frozen pizza business he launched during the pandemic, hopefully nationwide. He also reveals that he, his wife, and two sons relocated to Los Angeles in 2019, which has meant him commuting up to SF every other week or so to oversee the restaurant, as well as his SoMa frozen pizza production facility."
Ama and Cafe Sebastian closed in a building adjacent to the Transamerica Pyramid after the tower and adjacent properties were sold, with rent reportedly increased and businesses pushed out. Hamburger Project also closed its Mission location, while the Divisadero original location remains open. Polenta opened at 803 Fillmore Street in Alamo Square, offering Friulian specialties from Friuli-Venezia Giulia and an all-Friulian wine list, with reservations by phone during soft opening. Del Popolo served its final non-frozen pizzas on Nob Hill, with owner Jon Darsky choosing to focus on expanding the frozen pizza business launched during the pandemic, including plans for larger production facilities. Pacific Cafe in the Richmond District is listed for sale.
