At Mulberry Street Pizzeria, we consider ourselves proof that happiness is never about where you start or end. It is about how you bring the best things in life together along the way. Our menu starts with the freshest ingredients, authentic family recipes, and a passion for food that pushes us to make every dish from scratch. It ends with mouthwatering artisan soups, salads, pastas, and hot pizzas loaded with flavors from around the world. But good food only becomes great when it brings the family together. It is sharing our menu with the community -- being here to bring old and new friends together every single day -- that makes our story a happy story.

We are centrally located off Hwy. 101 in San Rafael, across for the famous Frank Lloyd Wright Marin Civic Center. La Toscana is a family owned and operated Italian restaurant and bar located in Marin County. It was established in 1985 by Paolo Mori, his wife, Marilyn, and Michele Quilici. The owners all grew up in Lucca, Italy and immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1950s. They wanted to create an atmosphere that reminded them of home – a place where locals would gather to eat, meet friends and family and celebrate with food and wine as every Italian family does. Chef and co— owner Giovanni Racanello joined La Toscana in 1986. Paolo and Marilyn’s daughter, Laura Mori Riella, and youngest son, Michael Mori, joined the La Toscana team in 1992 and 2002, respectively. Paolo loved to make people feel welcome and, just like all the Moris, enjoyed his food and wine and loved to see others do the same. This is the proud tradition that La Toscana carries on.
