While the parking in this nabe can cause heartburn, the food and service at Luella make it worth the frustration. Better yet, hop aboard the Powell & Hyde Street cable car for a little old-fashioned and stress-free commute. Ben and Rachel de Vries run the show at this charming, if often raucous, place. From Coca-Cola-braised pork shoulder and salt cod brandade with lemon aïoli, to duck confit imperial rolls with a spicy pomegranate sauce, and lamb tortellini with favas, tomato, and Parmesan, this menu covers it all. But, casual pizzas, pastas, and a children's menu prove that Luella doesn't take itself too seriously. Desserts like banana cream pies with Valrhona chocolate sauce are worth saving room; and the three-course prix-fixe is a real deal.
