​​2024 Year-end Reflection

November 2024

​“Privacy is a kindness of the soul that we ought to show both to those we know and to those we come across. It is also a right we are entitled to, and it’s never pleasant to be forced to demand it, since that spoils the charm of its pure sincerity. Privacy safeguards our intimate sphere; we need the right amount of privacy in order to harmonize our public and private spheres. Both our public and private lives are essential, but they benefit our well-being only when there is an appropriate balance between the two. The wise Epicurus clarified better than many others that the right balance is lost when our public life becomes predominant; discomfort arises because we are deprived of our leisure time, which we need in order to rest our soul. We need time to rest. For our ancestors and for the Romans, idleness - or the time spent away from public life - was a great opportunity to be alone, to lift one’s spirits, study and elaborate one’s thoughts. It was a time used for developing ideals, because everything that took place during those idly active moments was free from the need to achieve something. For us too, idly thinking, writing, and reading are like buds of knowledge, and food for the gods. When our privacy is infringed on, “otium in litteris” (the pleasure of literature and erudition) vanishes like a daydream."

Thoughts by Brunello Cucinelli for the “Consulentia 2018” conference, Rome, 6 February 2018

--
Over the past year, I found myself revisiting this reflection about Human Privacy by Cucinelli. Our work challenges combined a deteriorating social sciences around the world and a prolonged hospitality and tourism slump passing through San Francisco. These driving forces pushed our team’s capacity to the limits and increased our desire to focus on our balance of human privacy. Personally, I felt the need to move slower while working within a complex social economic and geo political environment. I also recognized that my family and I needed to feel more settled in our sanctuary in the Mission District. ‘Los Misioneros’ is what we playfully call ourselves and, like the missionaries, we enjoy time to reflect, study, practice, and connect in more meaningful ways. Despite all the challenges, our family and our team continue to learn from our challenges and remain positive, allowing us to build on what we accomplished the year prior.

Laura is in her second year teaching high school Spanish in San Francisco. I am proud of her decision to accept more responsibility while maintaining her commitment to her excellence around the quality of her work. I find the way she internalizes the gifts she receives to be powerful and I am grateful for the awareness. Milan is two years old now and he likes Mickey Mouse, Gelato, Futbol, Tennis, and his cousins and friends. The list continues to grow. I have been more confident to activate experiences at both Zingari and Ula. Our team activated DJ Negroni After Party every Wednesday at Zingari and DJ Ula-la Apéro every Thursday at Ula. Earlier in the year, the renovation of our Wine Cellar at Zingari was completed and we welcomed our first wine producer dinner with Emanuele Musso featuring Barbaresco Wines. As we approach our 3rd year anniversary Ula and 30th year anniversary at Zingari, we have a deeper vision for our food, drinks, and music at our Italian and Mediterranean Seafood restaurants.
​
At the end of this reflection, we invite you to visit our Restaurants during the holidays for an adventure at your dining table or bar.  Remember to turn off your phone, come restore, and have fun connecting with your guests. You will see more exciting updates from our wine cellar, bar, and kitchen during the coming weeks. Many thanks for your support and we look forward to welcoming you and your guests.

​2023 Year-end Reflection

​November 2023

"Los que me conocen saben lo mucho que me gusta el mar. En el mar, la vida es diferente; no hay horas, hay momentos. Al fin del este año, siento que vivo en el mar." (Translation Below)

"Those who know me know how much I love the sea. In the sea, life is different; There are no hours, there are moments. At the end of this year, I feel like I live by the sea."

--
I started this thought last year, and now have the mediation ready for discourse. Every year we wrestle and sweat intensely to curate and optimize the positive experience we wish to achieve around our family, our community, and our business. We achieve it partly because we believe it is important and partly because we have compassion. Krishan reached 70 years of age and celebrated by the sea in Greece and Portugal. On this birthday I wish here to express to express profound gratitude for my father, who has always demonstrated the real wealth of someone happy and content in their own skin. Arti continues to be generous in her service to others and reminds me to be there for others in service, even when our own villages continue to grow. Nehika has completed graduate studies from Columbia University and launched, with her co-founder Kadeisha Pinkney, NEHXT, at-home beauty services for everyone, everywhere. This was my shameless moment to be the big brother cheerleader. Amar is more settled with his hospital posting and continues to share his important work life balance experience with me. Laura has found a new home teaching at a high school in San Francisco and maintains her high standards and joy around language pedagogy. Milan is wild and free while throwing “pelotas”, or anything resembling a ball, and enjoying life by the sea in San Francisco.

We spent the last year in San Francisco slowing down from the rush of post pandemic enthusiasm to welcome back old experiences. What shows is the resistance to old experiences. There is a necessity to meet new requirements and speak to the noticeable shift in spontaneity and how or when social experiences occur. We have indulged in exquisite menu changes at both Ula and Zingari. Our Jazz Room at Zingari has become the Artist Room where we curate dinner shows around musicians, comedians, and DJ’s. Many thanks to Paul Robertson (@timetotalktopaul), who curated our sold-out Zingari Comedy Showcases and is a steward of the mantra, “It feels good to do good.” The renovation of our Cellar Room and the upgrade of our sound system at Zingari has beautifully influenced the art of hospitality we have been able to share with our guests. Chef Victor Cedillo, director of culinary at Ula and Zingari, has been a leader in maintaining a responsible and fulfilling culture in our kitchen. Ula welcomed two wonderful additions to our team, Avi Mishra (general manager) and Paolo Grassi (operations manager), who continue to push our standards in the right direction. We are filled with gratitude for all our guests who choose to celebrate their family and friends with our teams at our restaurants.

We invite you to join us for winter dining and aperitivo in our bars, dining rooms, cellar rooms, and private rooms. It feels good to be an Innkeeper, and we are at our best when we share hospitality with you.

Big hug.

2021 Year-end Reflection

November 2021

"Fall in love, stay in love and it will decide everything. What is guiding your decisions these days?" Repost from @fuchilafresheners.

What's guiding my decisions these days? Love for my family and Love for hospitality.

“Nothing is more practical than finding God, than falling in Love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, whom you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in Love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.” Fr. Pedro Arrupe S.J.

--
Over the past two years - where we saw a virus destabilize our lives, our habits and our certainties - our parents have proven to us that Love is the answer. Krishan has avoided retirement with the opening of our new restaurant, Ula - Gems of the Sea (www.ulasf.com). Arti has just been recognized as one of the leading 100 Realtors in the Bay Area. My siblings continue to move through their life phases where something funny or unusual is always happening. Our family has celebrated our growing village with Amar and Leah welcoming their son, Jay. Nehika has moved to New York to pursue graduate studies and welcome new opportunity and friendship. Laura has found a new home teaching in a middle school in the Bay Area and is embracing both the expected and unexpected chaos of establishing a new home. I wish here to express particular gratitude and understanding for my wife since the world of a hotelier or restaurateur is all-consuming and we are working together to make that quality time.

I returned from Taiwan earlier this year and am thankful Laura moved for me. We settled in our home here in San Francisco and I went back to work immediately. We re-opened Zingari for in-door dining and live jazz everyday. We helped some Austrian wine enthusiasts in the East Bay find wine from Tscheppe, Werlitsch, and Muster through our wine shop. We filled our Piano Room with trios and good vibes every night. We welcomed our kitchen and service team back and are currently hiring for Chefs, Servers and Managers. We are making bookings for holiday parties and holiday dining. We opened our new sister restaurant, Ula Mediterranean Dining & Cocktails with Chef Ryan Simas.

Many thanks to Chef Victor Cedillo and our kitchen and service team who makes all this possible. Many thanks to Alan Hopkins, San Francisco Area Manager for Wyndham Hotels, and the Wyndham corporate team who supported us as we pivoted in every direction during the pandemic shutdown periods. Many thanks to our guests who continue to dine, support, and share our restaurant with friends and family. Bottom line, we are filled with gratitude and we look forward to serving you.

My passion is deep and sincere, and I want nothing more than to share this with others. "The more I give to thee, The more I have." William Shakespeare. With Love from Zingari & Ula, we wish you a happy holiday season and new year.

Big hug.

​2020 Year-end Reflection

December 2020
​

“Just as the First World War precipitated the society of that time into the twentieth century, it could well be that the year 2020 brings us a similar disruption. A microscopic virus managed to destabilize our lives, our habits and our certainties. One year ago, who could have expected such a turmoil? This virus has managed to traumatize many of us with long queues of coffins, putting a short term to what we considered as standard, economic growth and prosperity taken as a given? The punitive journey of this little monster followed an erratic trajectory, hitting regions that did not expect its visit and hence were badly prepared for its arrival. The impact made us collectively rediscover the relativity of things.” Claude Béglé, SymbioSwiss.
--
The ‘New Normal’ is unclear. One thing, however, is clear— Asia is slated to come out stronger from this crisis and the world has ‘speed-dated’ with the Digital Revolution. We limped to this checkpoint while debating society’s values and losing patience in our inability to jointly address a global problem. Long-term consequences have yet to reveal themselves. 

Don’t be discouraged. Think about it. In your lifetime, you may have not had many instances where you had to drastically and quickly innovate based on society. With that being said, nothing you are doing is futile. This crisis reveals who we are. I remember the words of my friend, David Gonzalez of Bella Trattoria San Francisco, who said, “Idea Number 4,317!” A few months into the pandemic, after consistently trying new ideas each day, he had just turned part of his restaurant outlet into a beautiful Salumeria to showcase and sell his quality inventory. It’s up to each family, to each one of us, to reinvent its sustainability model, meet the challenge, and reinforce ties.

For our family, I wish to share deep gratitude and love to my wife, parents, brother and sister for the relationship and awareness we work to have and value. This year has surprised and blessed us in different ways. My sister, Nehika, has set plans to shift her life from San Francisco to New York City where work and graduate studies are in the horizon. My brother, Amar, is in South Carolina completing his medicine fellowship and will proceed to give to his care and passion to his work and patients, as he always has done. My mother and father, Arti and Krishan, are in the San Francisco Bay Area and have been an important element fueling our actions of good and forward thinking. They, also, supported me in our decision to follow Laura, the love of my life, to Taiwan while she completes her teaching contract, after seven years, at an international school in Taipei. I admire Laura for her passion and philosophy of teaching. Her work and her family’s wisdom and care are also important elements that give me inspiration. I wish here to express particular sympathy for my wife’s family and community since Latin America has been one of the most affected regions hit by the coronavirus crisis.
​
For my work, I have had the joy to create a beautiful Rooftop Ristorante with our General Manager, Victor Vargas, and my partner (and mentor, father), Krishan Miglani. We had a beautiful six-month run during the in-door dining shutdown. Many thanks to our Landlord Partners, Alan Hopkins (General Manager of Wyndham Hotels San Francisco) and Club Donatello. Their gracious support and freedom allowed us to make it nice for our guests. Furthermore, we were able to provide work for our team of 20 service and culinary professionals.  The Ristorante, Rooftop Ristorante, and Jazz Bar will be back and we look forward to sharing good vibes with you soon.

I am dedicated to a few new projects. We have launched our Online Wine Shop. Zingari brings wine country to San Francisco with a selection of sensibly priced, quality wines – from the large to the small wine producers – of Italy, California, and beyond. I look forward to sharing knowledge, stories, and laughs with you as we explore the beautiful selection of wine in our cellar. I will continue with my Italian wine and wine service education. With knowledge and a sensible price comes enjoyment. Hope you agree and will browse our shop online or in person.

Being in Taiwan has been a privilege and enriching experience. I have observed a new style of commerce and felt a new culture. I have taken on Mandarin Chinese, met different restaurant owners, traveled around the country, and learned to live like a local. On our restaurant blog and social media, I’ll share more about the things learned, the people met, the hospitality concepts tried, the new ideas in mind, and the laughs felt.
With the unusual year behind us, global ties resetting under new leadership, and having reflected quite a bite, let’s welcome 2021. Laura and I wish you all the best in the year ahead. Big hug.

Neeraj Miglani
