This simple and rustic trattoria style restaurant offers spectacular food in a casual yet elegant atmosphere. The menu features a good selection of antipasti like the ubiquitous frito misto, wood-fired meatballs and roasted octopus. As far as main courses go, Marzano really focuses on their wood-fired pizzas like the calamari with spicy tomato sauce, gremolata, hearts of celery, red onion, radicchio and pecorino, or more traditional pizzas like the margharita, pepperoni and sausage. In addition to the pizzas they do also feature a couple delicious "main courses" and desserts. Don't miss out on the specialty cocktails.
Located in Oakland's quaint Rockridge neighborhood, Enoteca Molinari is a cute, modern and clean little wine bar. In addition to the selection of Italian wines, Enoteca Molinari has a small but delicious menu of Italian small plates like Osso Bucco Stuffed Arancini, a selection of crostini, cured meats and cheeses, and larger plates like Tagliatelle al Ragu. There is also a small but sweet selection of desserts. This neighborhood favorite is rather small, so its perfect for more intimate meetings rather than large gatherings.
