Morella in the Press
Morella's opening arrived during a period when many stories about San Francisco focused on restaurant closures and economic challenges. Morella wasn't simply another Italian restaurant or another steakhouse. It introduced an Argentine-Italian concept built around the historical influence of Italian immigration on Argentine cuisine—a combination that food writers repeatedly highlighted as something the Marina hadn't seen before.
