Beef brisket (chadol), Pork belly (samgyeopsal), Marinated short rib
What Makes it Special: AYCE Korean BBQ with fast pacing and crowd energy.
A scratch-pasta Italian kitchen run by three Italian-born owners since 2006, built on daily handmade noodles and a dedicated pastry program that has kept Tri-Valley regulars coming back for two decades. The main dining room runs loud when full — poor acoustics make conversation a project, so request the Barolo Room if the table is for a date or birthday. It works best when you lean into the pastas and close with the tiramisu.
Must-Try Dishes:
Salmone Livornese, Calamari, Caesar Salad
What Makes it Special: Three Italian-born owners and a chef making pasta from scratch daily since 2006, with a devoted pastry chef behind what regulars call the valley's best tiramisu.
