    The copper-topped bar fills up early with Rockridge regulars who treat this neighborhood restaurant like a second living room. It's Italian-inflected California cooking in a rustic room, the kind of place where the charcuterie board arrives before you've fully settled in. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and surrounded by bookshops and antique stores, which tells you pretty much everything about the crowd.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Pork rillettes

      “a "butcher block" of well-prepared charcuterie — pork rillettes seasoned with Aleppo pepper, sumac, and lime — is a prudent way to start your meal”

      Michelin Guide
    • Pan-roasted half chicken

      “Bucatini with a beef and pork ragu bolognese or pan-roasted half chicken with fingerling potatoes are comforting choices”

      Michelin Guide
    • Crème brûlée cheesecake

      “End with crème brûlée cheesecake with yuzu curd.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
