Cal-Ital Italian
The building was once a post office, and the beamed ceilings still carry that civic grandeur, now filled with the noise of a Cal-Ital neighborhood restaurant doing brisk, happy business. The open kitchen anchors a room that works equally well for a date or a loud group. Focaccia arrives complimentary and is the kind you actually remember. Freshly made pasta leads into mains grilled over almond wood, the whole menu moving at an easy, convivial pace.

Hamachi crudo
“Begin with a sampling of small plates, like hamachi crudo topped with dollops of Meyer lemon relish.”

Tortelloni with herbed ricotta
“Then move on to freshly made pasta, like tortelloni with herbed ricotta in a lemon butter sauce before enjoying the chicken grilled over almond wood and served with a slightly spicy aji panca sauce and griddled potatoes.”
