(more)"La Ciccia is famous for its "Prupisceddu in Umidu", or stewed octopus.
SFoodie picked it as one of the 92 best dishes in SF, noting "in the wrong hands, octopus tentacles can end up having the tough, rubbery texture of an over-abused kid's toy. At La Ciccia, however, they are stewed slowly until they are meaty, chewy yet pliant, bathed in a rich, piquant, brick-red tomato sauce."" — The Sōsh Concierge
"The "bottarga" is absolutely unbelievable, downright addictive. The pizzas are crisp and light and every other dish is superbly prepared. Hands down my favorite place in Noe valley." — Willem Vonk
