New Additions in the Dog Pound

Cane Rosso just opened, a Ferry Building Marketplace project from chef-owner Daniel Patterson and chef de cuisine Lauren Kiino of COI, with chef Doug Borkowski. On the menu: pasture-raised meats (chicken, porchetta, and more) on the rotisserie or braised overnight, local ingredients, lots of vegetables, sandwiches, salads, and soup. Breakfast (like a fried egg panino) and lunch are served, plus early supper. It’s all kind of home-cookin’ in style (if your mother was Italian and only shopped at the farmers’ market), with primo ingredients, and it’s easy to take home. As for the name, it’s inspired by Kiino’s three-legged and totally precious red dog, Cody. There are 10 seats at the counter inside, 25 in the hallway, and 30 outside. Kiino will now be busy focusing on Bracina in Oakland, which is looking like the end of the year. Open Mon–Sat 8am–8pm, and Sun 10am–8pm.
