Antoni’s Italian Cafe
Hawaiian Grown TV – LE Gelateria – Café Sistina – Segment 2
Sergio Mitrotti has always exhibited an adventurous spirit, first as an avid sailor and scuba diver in the Mediterranean, then as a successful graphic artist in his native Italy, then as a proprietor of a high-end clothing store in Beverly Hills.
But for this Renaissance man, food has always been the most natural of all avenues for exploration. “In Italy, you eat well from the moment your born,” he says. “When I was a teenager, I didn’t think twice about making gourmet food for parties.” The decision to cook professionally came in 1987, hand in hand with the desire to leave Los Angeles and its fast pace and move to Hawaii, which he saw as the perfect place to pursue his many passions. “I was ready to open a restaurant,” he says. “I was an amateur cook, but a sophisticated eater. My background is really good eating, and there’s no school to teach you that!” he says.
He traveled Italy with a passion to understand the traditional roots of Italian Cuisine. He learned the principles of his present art from fisherman in the Mediterranean Islands, housewives in the local Southern markets and from watching and helping his mother and grandmother in the family kitchen of his native northern city of Turin. His incorporation of these techniques elevates his cuisine to something more than that of just a commercial Italian restaurant but to a showcase of earthy authenticity and creativity
This culinary Marco Polo has brought to Hawaii two successful restaurants. Cafe Cambio in 1987 and in 1991 Cafe Sistina, a trendy restaurant known for it’s live late night jazz and linguine ala puttanesca. His popularity has given Hawaiian’s a strong whiff of authentic Italian cooking, as in his spinach ravioli with gorgonzola or his gnocchi with lamb sausage. He continues to explore new worlds with his version of Spanish paella and Middle Eastern couscous. In the past several years Mitrotti’s food has taken on more exotic overtones such as duck sausage with orange fettuccine and shrimp with a spicy mango sauce, chicken breast with African spices and many other local favorites.
In addition to being a fabulous chef this truly remarkable man is also a consummate artist. The walls of Cafe Sistina double as Mitrotti’s canvas – he has painted replicas of parts of the Sistine Chapel on every possible restaurant surface – and he’s still painting. “I cannot stop being a designer,” he says. “I have to keep creating. It comes from within me!”

Flirting Dance @ Italian Cafe
Steps of Rome, San FranciscoSan Francisco – Delicious pizza @ Caffe Roma
Day 2 (February 22, 2008) of our San Francisco adventure began more promisingly: bright sunshine greeted us as we made our way by public bus to Washington Square, the heart of San Francisco’s Italian North Beach neighbourhood. We set off to meet Tom Medin, who runs Local Tastes of the City Tours, who was going to take us around this neighbourhood and introduce us to all sorts of interesting culinary treats.
Tom explained that San Francisco is a city for foodies – high quality fresh food plays an enormously important role in the locals’ lives. Shopping habits are very similar to the old European ways: people go shopping on foot in their local neighbourhoods and visit all sorts of specialty stores such as bakeries, pastry shops, vegetable stores, delicatessens, butcher shops and many more. Food is bought fresh almost every day, and a home-cooked leisurely dinner is an important part of the social agenda. Cafés and coffee houses also thrive here.
Our first stop was Caffe Roma where owner Toni Azzolini explained to us the coffee roasting process and had us taste some of his famous capuccino. Coffee is roasted freshly on site and their most popular blend includes four different coffee varieties from different countries, all purchased from small-scale farmers who don’t use pesticides or fertilizer. We then went to XOX Truffles where we saw the truffle-making process in action. The owner Jean-Marc Gorce graciously equipped us with a little paper bag full of some these French delicacies.
After a brief visit to the Saints Peter and Paul Church where Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio had their wedding pictures taken, Liguria Bakery was next where we had a chance to taste some real Italian foccaccia bread, the only type of bread that is made at this bakery.
Up the road we continued to the Italian French bakery where we saw a century old bakery oven in action and got to taste various home-baked goodies. At Palermo Delicatessen we got to sample two different types of olive oil and some real Italian salamis, copa meat and fresh mozzarella. The Victoria Pastry Company welcomed us with a free sampling of fresh canoli and at Caffe Trieste we got to admire the place where Francis Ford Coppola wrote the script for Godfather III. Lots of other local and international celebrities have visited this popular neighbourhood café.
This 3.5 hour culinary tour gave us great insight into the San Francisco mindset and strengthened us for a steep walk to our next destination: Coit Tower.
