Sorella di Zza's chefs crown linen-topped tables with Italian dishes true to the recipes of the owner’s Grandma Fanny. Diners can nibble on house bruschetta, piping hot pies, and handmade potato gnocchi as they gaze through broad windows onto the shores of Lake Merritt just across the street. In the adjoining wine bar, more than 40 international wines from Italy, Spain, Germany, and Australia wait to be enjoyed by the taste, glass, bottle, or repurposed beach bucket.
