About Us

VIXI means “I have lived”. This classic Roman expression has a special personal meaning, because I’ve “lived” much of my life working my way up in restaurants in order to make my own dream a reality — a lovely, family friendly, pristine and traditional Italian restaurant that would become a wonderful addition to my San Francisco community in the heart of Laurel Village.

I always envisioned a charming neighborhood atmosphere where people of all ages and appetites could stop in to relax and enjoy authentic, delicious cuisine made with fresh, locally grown ingredients — our artisan pastas are handmade daily, and our crisp greens and organic vegetables come from Pacific Produce, a local women-owned produce collective. Our large crystal-clear cafe windows open to the vibrancy of the local street scene for our guests and treat passersby to a mouthwatering view of the delights that await inside.

I am living my dream, and it is my great pleasure to invite you to now sit back and dine in comfort, and to enjoy our warm and welcoming contribution to our community.

Your Host,
