Alioto’s became the first building on the Wharf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Alioto’s death in 1933, his wife Rose expanded the restaurant. Offering sweeping views of the historic Fisherman's Wharf inner lagoon, the fishing fleet, and the bustling San Francisco Bay, diners flocked to the establishment for the views and for its Sicilian-influenced seafood and pasta dishes, made using Alioto family recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beloved establishment survived a fire in 1957 and continued to attract generations of San Franciscans and tourists for decades. However, it closed in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic and did not re-open. Its permanent closure was announced in 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, crews demolished the landmark three-story restaurant as part of work on a new $10m public plaza.
