Kitava

Buck Wild Beer is bound to become a favored destination for people with Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. The taproom is a partnership with Kitava, an SF 'clean food' restaurant.

"Buck Wild Brewing Taproom is a partnership between California’s first gluten-free brewery and Kitava, a San Francisco-based ‘clean food’ restaurant." https://www.berkeleyside.com//everything-to-eat-and-drink-

Thanks Eater! "A former McDonald's space transformed into a gluten-free, paleo-friendly, healthy dining establishment? That's inspirational enough to attract plenty of better-eating converts, who come in for Kitava's Cuban bowl with heritage pork shoulder, zoodles (zucchini noodles) with red sauce, and even General Tso's chicken, which is fried with healthier-than-usual oils at lower temperatures." https://sf.eater.com//best-gluten-free-restaurants-food-sa

Received this feedback from a loyal customer yesterday. With all the work we do to create a welcoming space for EVERYONE in the Mission, this warmed our heart! "Dear kitava, thank you for everything!... As an "invisible middle aged woman" I clean a house in SF every Thursday, And deposit my checks next door. When I first saw your place, I rolled my eyes And thought you were a bullshit techie place. Then , one night , I actually looked at your menu. I saw the lower cost neighborhood option. Wow, how cool. I went in, and your Tiffany was so graci The food I brought home was damned delicious. When I returned the next week to order the full on Cuban bowl, Tiffany actually remembered me by name! I've returned several times. And your gal Quince , is just as warm and Remembers me and my order. Congratulations on hiring great people. And thank you for your delicious food."

Kitava's mission is to nourish people and the community we serve through healthy food and conscious sourcing. A big part of that is ensuring EVERYONE has access to the healthy food on our menu, which includes working class neighbors that live and work in the Mission. We introduced our permanent Locals Specials to make sure there's always an option available for guests looking to eat healthy, even on a budget. This video explains the origins of our Locals Specials, what they are, and how we came up with the pricing and portioning.

Most restaurants use the cheapest oils they can find, but Kitava takes care to source oils from natural sources, that hold up at high cooking temps, and have nutritionally beneficial properties. This video explores how and why we focus on high quality fats and cooking oils. KITAVA OIL SOURCING... Palm Oil - Natural Habitats Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Veronica Foods
