Concierge.com's insider take:
Some would say that frying gnocchi is gilding the lily, but not the regulars at Albona, who polish off platefuls of the addictive crispy puffs. Chef Bruno Viscovi, the anti-Christ to Atkins dieters, dishes up intriguing food inspired by his childhood in Istria (part of Italy until WWII). The menu includes dishes such as three-cheese ravioli in a sauce of browned sirloin tips; the genial Viscovi will happily help you choose what to order. This homey, old-fashioned restaurant decorated with photos of Istria is set in a slightly dodgy area at the edge of North Beach, but don't worry about your car: Valet parking is complimentary.
Open Tuesdays through Saturdays 5 pm to 10 pm.
