WHAT: Burrata bruschetta, hazelnut and honey / $7

WHERE: Delarosa Restaurant, 2175 Chestnut Street, San Francisco, CA

I feel kind of bad sharing the information about this dish with you, because at $7 it is pricey for an appetizer, and tasting it would require a trip to the well-manicured neighborhood of the Marina, which has an annoyingly wealthy suburban air about it. The interior of Delarosa, with its canteen-like atmosphere, is not among the most appealing in town, but the food is top notch, and the bruschetta pictured above is the most exciting item on the menu. One serving consists of two pieces of toast with big squishy lumps of burrata (mozzarella + cream). The taste contrasts intriguingly with the sweetness of the honey and hazelnuts. Even though Delarosa is not exactly a romantic place, the burrata bruschetta will make for a terrific appetizer for a date.
