Business of the Month
Don Antonio Trattoria
Instead of taking a trip to Italy, why not go down to Ark
Row and have dinner at Don Antonio Trattoria? This casual,
new restaurant at the end of the Main Street Parking lot
now is offering a real deal – arrive between 5 and 6 p.m.
and have a three-course dinner, including a complimentary
glass of wine, all for $29.95.
This is an Italian restaurant that everyone in the family can
enjoy, and it includes a children’s menu. It gets even better!
After co-owners, Antonio Volpicelli and Eduardo Pizzuti,
talked to Dean Jones about their interior noise problem, the
Tiburon architect searched and discovered a new process
where a panel can be installed above the existing ceiling
that reduces the noise level by a whopping 80-percent.
Plans are to have this job completed very soon.
Antonio, who not only is a co-owner but also manages
the Tiburon restaurant, is a native of Naples, Italy.
Before he went into his family’s food business, he was a
professional soccer player until he broke his kneecap at
age 18. The family business was a factory that provided
food for hospitals, schools and airlines plus a restaurant
and culinary school, giving Antonio a wide range of
experiences.
Coming to San Francisco in 1990, he worked in a number of
Marin restaurants, including being host at Salute, manager
at Baci and Frantoio and finally general manager at Joe Lo
Coco’s.

Owner Antonio
Volpicelli.
Against the wall
behind them is the
new gas fireplace.
His co-owner, Eduardo Pizzuti, came here from Italy in
1958 and has owned 18 different restaurants over the past
35 years. The pair agreed at the very beginning they wanted
their restaurant to be “for the local people.”
The pair installed a totally new kitchen, added a cozy, gas
fireplace and a bar in the dining room, put a cork backing
under the new wooden floor and attached a piece of carpet
under each of the 18 tables to absorb noise. “We want our
restaurant to be as comfortable for locals as being in their
own homes,” said Antonio.
The food is as organic as possible, with free-range meat
and locally grown vegetables. On the menu are dishes the
owners know, from experience, that most people like the
best – homemade lasagna, tortellini, pappardelle, seafood
rocata, plus a wide choice of wines and beers.
Don Antonio Trattoria is at 114 Main Street, open Tuesdays
through Sundays, 5 to 9:30 p.m., validated parking in the
Main Street lot. Reservations are advised. Phone, 435-0400.
