Benchmark Pizzeria & Portavia

Spaghetti Arrabbiata: spicy tomato sauce with eggplant, basil, breadcrumbs, Grana. So good!

Making the #chai in house now for our #chailatte over at 380 Colusa. We've steeped Chai Masala and Assam black tea from Oaktown Spice Shop to make the concentrate. We steam it together with vanilla syrup and your choice of milk. Best chai latte in town!

Bomba is back! This delicious relish from #calabria has pickled mushrooms, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, artichokes and eggplant mingled with herbs and vinegar. We dollop it on a pizza with fresh mozzarella and roasted cauliflower. Not one to miss!

Come and try our soft serve from local Double 8 Dairy.... pictured here is chocolate & vanilla swirl. Top with roasted almonds, whipped cream, and an Amarena cherry to make it a classic Benchmark sundae!

Wild mushrooms are back! Chanterelle & lobster mushroom cream on a pizza with lemon, parsley, olive oil, and Grana.

Frozen pizzas & gelato stocked at Portavia!

Anina Eggplant 😍 Roasted in the wood oven and served on the Nduja pizza tonight.

Latest pasta & cocktail: housemade rigatoni with morel mushrooms and snap peas. Rosolio & cocchi americano on the rocks with vodka & orange.

New #antipasto plate at Portavia complete with our house-stretched mozzarella, Salumi, and marinated olives.

@JanelleBitker Surprised no one has asked Chez Panisse how they will deal with this change.

California restaurants have been hoping this official word on the surcharge ban wouldn't come sfchronicle.com/food/restauran…

Marinated olives. Great way to start a meal.

Come and get an expertly crafted espresso at our retail shop Portavia, 380 Colusa Ave!

Holiday vibes.

Rigatoni with spicy lamb ragu.

Kale & Ceci bean soup 😍

@JaredBlanton @CCCounty Thanks so much for the support, after our Instagram post the county invited us to reapply and so I’m hopeful the parklet will be back soon!

My wife and I loved this extra outdoor space at @Benchmark_Pizza in Kensington. Nice place to bring our dog, eat fresh pasta and have a nice glass of wine. Always lively neighborhood crowd. But that was selfish. @CCCounty says that space is needed to park one — MAYBE two — cars.
