Elbowing its way into the 18th Street Gourmet Ghetto, Farina Focaccia & Cucina Italiana, an airy Italian that just swung open its casement windows, is already attracting a Mission crowd as good-looking as its modern decor (dark woods, marble tabletops, designer light fixtures); authentic Genovese-style focaccia reigns here, but its all-day menu also includes housemade gnocchi, pastas, cured meats and seafood; N.B. a full bar is in the works.
