baia

Set within the former home of the iconic Jardinére in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley neighborhood, Baia is a plant-based Italian concept - and Chef Matthew Kenney’s first foray into the Bay Area restaurant scene.

​

The vintage décor, brass accents and simple material palette are the backdrop to an opulent custom-made chandelier of hand-blow glass stars and gold leaf which drops from the central dome above the bar and serves to unify the two floors of the restaurant.
