The Port of San Francisco announced the demolition of Alioto's Restaurant, a historic establishment at Fisherman's Wharf, after nearly 100 years in operation. Citing the building's deteriorating condition and its inability to attract new tenants, officials determined it would be replaced with a new public plaza. The project is part of a multi-year, $10 million effort to rejuvenate the Wharf. Port Director Elaine Forbes commented on the need to move toward the future, even as they recognize the restaurant's historical significance.
As Port Director Elaine Forbes noted, "It's just a relic, essentially, a relic of an important history, but it is not the future."
The demolition of the restaurant and the plaza construction are part of a multi-year, $10 million project to shore up and revitalize the Wharf, following on several years in which other large restaurant spaces nearby have sat empty.
