Michael Sabella is a fourth-generation San Francisco restaurateur whose family story stretches back to Sicily. He grew up in his family’s Fisherman’s Wharf restaurant, where food was never just food: it was work, memory, and a way of bringing people together.
His books explore that inheritance from two directions: the suspense of historical fiction and the warmth of family stories, kitchens, and recipes.
