Primo Patio

It's looking like a revival might finally be in sight for The Patio, the Castro cafe that's been closed since 1999. The space was remodeled and brought up to code, but aside from the occasional pop-up (including the recent appearance of the Under One Roof shop), it's remained closed. Now, owner Les Natali is going before the Planning Commission on Thursday, and if he gets approval, hopes to reopen "very soon." [SocketSite via Castro Biscuit]
