1. Mama

    Italian

    A Bib Gourmand prix-fixe in a genuinely pretty room on Grand Ave, Mama Oakland keeps things bracingly simple: pick one of two options per course, eat well, pay a reasonable tab, and go home happy. No reservations, so you show up and roll with it like the regulars do. The house-made pasta in braised pork and beef sugo is the whole origin story of this place, which tells you everything. The wine list, naturally, is excellent.
