MAMA Oakland
Italian
Dark green ceiling, brass chandeliers, and live plants spilling overhead set the scene at this chic little prix-fixe spot near Lake Merritt. The deal is a three-course Italian dinner, two choices per course, no reservations. House-made pasta with a slow-braised tomato sugo is the constant around which everything else rotates. The wine list leans interesting and uses symbols so you don't need a sommelier. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which tracks.
Three honors, in evidence:
