The places we are talking about--and making reservations at--this month

California: In San Francisco's up and coming Dogpatch neighborhood, the chic Piccino ("small space" in Italian) attracts a nonstop lunchtime flow of artists, cementmakers, boatbuilders, and FedEx drivers; later on local cognoscenti line up for dinner. The thin crust pizzas are about as unfussy and appealing as they can get, and the brief list of seasonal dishes--Pecorino, salami, and bright green fava beans; crisp confit duck legs--is extremely well edited.
