Job Details

About us :

Welcome to Via Aurelia, a new landmark in San Francisco’s dining scene—an elevated Tuscan restaurant in Mission Rock, developed by Back Home Hospitality in collaboration with the San Francisco Giants and Tishman Speyer. As the anchor tenant of VISA’s global headquarters, this 8,500-square-foot restaurant offers an immersive journey into the heart of Tuscany, blending revered culinary traditions with California’s vibrant produce and dynamic spirit. Designed by Jon De La Cruz, whose award-winning collaborations with us at Che Fico have become iconic, the space will seamlessly combine elegance with a subtle homage to Tuscany’s rich cultural heritage. With expansive, weather-protected outdoor seating and stunning waterfront views, this destination invites guests to enjoy a memorable experience year-round. Inside, two large private dining rooms create an intimate setting for private celebrations and corporate events, while a thoughtfully crafted business lunch menu will cater to Mission Rock’s bustling professional community. Our cuisine delves deeply into Tuscany’s coastal traditions, presenting flavors shaped by the region’s storied maritime history and centuries of trade. Guests will savor a coastal menu that celebrates the simplicity and depth of Tuscan seafood—from fresh, simply grilled catches to delicately battered selections and robust seafood stews. The menu further highlights Tuscany’s celebrated ingredients, including the prized Cinta Senese pork with its distinctive flavor, the iconic Bistecca alla Fiorentina, and a vast selection of handmade pasta dishes that honor Italy’s rich culinary heritage. Seasonal Tuscan truffles will feature prominently throughout the year, lending depth and complexity to various dishes. Our produce-forward offerings also reflect the agrarian soul of Tuscany, showcasing a bounty of vegetables prepared with the respect they deserve.   Our world-class wine program perfectly complements the cuisine, emphasizing Tuscan and Italian wines while featuring top selections from France and California’s premier producers, each curated to enhance the dining experience. The restaurant’s design nods to Tuscany’s artistic history with a curated selection of art that respects the region’s legacy without direct imitation. Each piece and design element has been chosen to evoke elegance, sophistication, and an appreciation for artistry—honoring the legacy of Italian masters while capturing the innovative spirit of San Francisco.

More than just a dining destination, this restaurant is a beacon of San Francisco’s resilience and potential. By bringing Tuscany’s warmth and richness to the heart of Mission Rock, we aspire to redefine excellence in dining and community engagement. This project is a testament to San Francisco’s upward momentum, with a bold statement of growth, community, and world-class hospitality
