San Francisco's iconic 99-year-old seafood restaurant, Alioto’s, at Fisherman’s Wharf will be demolished as part of a $10 million renovation.
Efforts to revive Alioto’s failed due to its age, deterioration, and costly repair needs, leading to plans for a new public plaza at the site.
The renovation project aims to provide direct access to docked fishing boats for visitors to purchase fresh fish and crab.
Longtime establishments like Fishermen’s Grotto and Tarantino’s have closed, while new venues like Chasca Rio and Everett & Jones are set to open in the area.
