We are pleased to announce that Specchio will now be  serving the award-winning Italian Merlot Alto Vanto. Specchio is the only restaurant outside of Italy serving this exquisite wine which name translates into “Big Pride”.  Created by Federico Aldrovandi, this rare red wine has a velvety texture and is packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure.

Fresh off a stellar win over the Miami Heat, the streaking Los Angeles Clippers dined at Specchio last week during a visit to play the Golden State Warriors.  A wonderful evening of food and fun was had by all including amazing rookie Blake Griffin, who along with his teammates spent the evening enjoying some of Chef Gino Assaf’s specially prepared dishes.

Did Blake Griffin Dunk at Specchio

L.A. Clippers rookie dunking phenom Blake Griffin (in blue sweater) with teammates at Specchio. In town last week to play Golden State, the L.A. Clippers ― including human highlight reel and latest cheap-shot target Blake Griffin ― slipped into Specchio for dinner (not the first NBA team to do so, incidentally, which makes us wonder about the reputation of Mission Street dining among ballers). What they ate, according to chef/owner Gino Assaf: spaghetti di farro all`amatriciana, beef filet with radicchio, other stuff. Desserts reportedly included tiramisu, pancotto, cannoli and flourless chocolate cake. No word if Griffin actually dunked any of them in his Moscato d’Asti.
