A native of Milan, chef Piero Premoli does a daily specials menu that provides the only change you're likely to see over the years in these offerings. Very good house-baked bread comes with a fluffy mélange of goat and cream cheeses studded with fresh garlic and bathed in the lightest possible tomato sauce. Made from carnaroli rice, risotto is served al dente, never mushy, so expect to wait for your order. Pastas may be enjoyed in half portions, ideal for a light entrée. Among the menu standards are the "crazy" lasagna, made with veal and beef bolognese sauce and prosciutto, and topped with besciamella and a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Ditto the seafood stew, the veal chop and the spinach-stuffed chicken breast. Pricci’s open kitchen produces a variety of pizzas baked in a wood-burning oven. To conclude, sample "zuccotto," a chocolate-hazelnut bombe, or any of the house-made ice creams. The wine list carries mainly standard Italian and Californian choices. Reds are served too warm, though, and we miss being able to enjoy a rosato.
