Two veterans from popular Bay Area restaurants AL’s Place and Rooster and Rice are bringing a modern Italian restaurant to the Mission this spring. Itria is taking over the former Obispo space at 3266 24th Street, Thad Vogler’s colorful and short-lived rum bar, which sadly permanently closed during the pandemic, leaving the prime Mission location empty for more than a year.

Now, Itria is a new project from Daniel Evers, a chef who came through the kitchens of vegetable-centric AL’s Place and pasta-obsessed Cotogna. He’s teaming up with Min Park for the new restaurant, an industry expert with experience managing operations and marketing for restaurants like the popular fast-casual Rooster and Rice, as well as international Korean fried chicken chain Bonchon.
