RISTOBAR

05/27/2026

A new chapter is coming to Chestnut Street.

After many wonderful years as Ristobar, the space will soon transition into a new concept in partnership with ERIA focused on hospitality, events, community, and bringing people together.

Over the years, this space has hosted countless dinners, celebrations, gatherings, conversations, and memories. We’re grateful to everyone who made Ristobar part of their lives and excited to see the next chapter continue that spirit in a new way.

ERIA Marina will bring a new mix of dinner parties, wellness events, creative gatherings, speaker series, dance nights, celebrations, and community-driven experiences to the neighborhood.

The space is now temporarily closed for renovations as the next chapter begins, with opening events beginning June 5th and a larger launch celebration planned for June 13th.

Thank You for 22 Years on Chestnut Street

After 22 unforgettable years in the Marina District, Memorial Day will mark the final service of Ristobar.

From the days of Emporio Rulli Gran Caffè to the restaurant Ristobar became, this space has been filled with celebrations, friendships, family dinners, anniversaries, and memories shared around the table.

We are deeply grateful to every guest, neighbor, friend, and staff member who has been part of our story over the years.

A heartfelt thank you to Chefs Angelo Auriana, Michele Belotti, and Alberto “Berto” Chan Bautista, whose passion and talent made every meal memorable.

And special recognition to Mattia Ballarini, whose warmth and hospitality made so many guests feel at home.

While this chapter comes to a close, the space will continue in a new direction through a partnership with Eria Events. We look forward to sharing more about what comes next soon.

Thank you, San Francisco, for 22 beautiful years on Chestnut Street.

With gratitude,

Gary Rulli and the entire Ristobar team

Did you know our bread uses the same sourdough starter found in Emporio Rulli's panettone?

A touch of this 100-year-old lievito madre is what makes our bread so crispy and irresistible.

Come try it tonight.
