Must Eat Spicy Italian Sandwich and Oreo Mousse Cake at V. Sattui Winery in Saint Helena

September 11th, 2012 by Jonas / Filed under Bakery, Dessert, Food, Italian, Must Eat, Napa Valley, Travels / Leave A Comment

As a responsible DD during my recent Napa trip, I had only option to do – eat. The deli at V. Sattui Winery offers a lot of freshly pre-made (oxymoron?) sandwiches. My favorite was their spicy Italian – ham coppa, saluma & mozzarella in a ciabatta bun makes for a perfect combo. Their sides were [...]

Must Eat Meatball Gigante at Tony’s Pizza Napoletana

October 20th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Italian, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

When people go to Tony’s Pizza Napoletana, they think of pizza, but I think of their meatballs, preferably their giant meatball. It’s as big as a softball, tender, moist, and the marinara sauce it’s covered with is amazing. Get it with burrata cheese on top or a fried egg or get it as is. It [...]

Must Eat Portobello Fries at Bottega Louie

September 22nd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Italian, Los Angeles County, Must Eat, Travels / 1 Comment

Everyone makes such a big deal about the macarons at Bottega Louie, but I’m still not impressed. They just don’t taste fresh to me. However, I do like dining here. My favorite dish of theirs, as is the same with most people, is their portobella fries, battered and fried, served with a side of aioli. [...]

Must Eat Fresh Cannolis at Romolo’s Cannoli & Spumoni Factory in San Mateo

August 14th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Dessert, Food, Italian, Must Eat / 2 Comments

Here’s the scoop: Family-owned business Romolo’s Cannoli & Spumoni Factory has been around in San Mateo for almost half a century, producing possibly the best cannoli in the Bay Area. Each cannoli is pumped to order, unlike most other bakeries where they’ve been sitting in the refrigerated display case for too long and have turned [...]

Must Eat Margherita Pizza at Tony’s Pizza Napoletana

July 8th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Italian, Must Eat / 1 Comment

Best thin crust pizza ever at Tony’s Pizzas Napoletana? Quite possibly, with their margherita pizza deemed 2007 World P pizza Cup winner in Naples, Italy, and it doesn’t end there. Their appetizers are must-eats themselves too, such as the giant meatballs, or the mussels with chorizo. The food is definitely a five-star experience. 1570 Stockton [...]

Must Eat Margarita Pizza at Pizzeria Delfina

June 3rd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Italian, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

There are so many new Neapolitan pizza joints in the city now, but Pizzeria Delfina remains my favorite. I always have to order their margarita pizza, which has just the right amount of tomato, cheese and basil. The crust is consistently thin and crispy, such that you can actually pick up a slice of pizza [...]

Risotto at Mona Lisa Restaurant

April 2nd, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Italian / Leave A Comment

I always imagined Mona Lisa Restaurant to be one of those North Beach/Little Italy tourist traps, but it was a nice, sunny Thursday and they had seats outside on the shaded side, so why not try it? I ended up really liking it. The Don Mario pizza had a very thin and crispy crust with [...]

Must Eat Tagliolini Pepati at Aperto Restaurant

I try to lay off pasta when order food because it’s always so heavy, but I can never resist the Tagliolini Pepati over at Aperto Restaurant in the Potrero Hill, good for any meal – brunch, lunch or dinner. Tagliolini pepati literally translates to noodles peppered. It’s a flavorful pasta dish with pieces of smoked [...]

Thin Crust Pizza at Gialina Pizzeria

February 17th, 2011 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Italian / Leave A Comment

I consider Gialina Pizzeria to be a hidden gem for thin crust pizzas. Not many people know about it because it’s far off in the Glen Park district where most of the people who go there live around there. The restaurant is always packed and they don’t take reservations, but they do take same-day phone-in [...]

Must Eat Slow Roasted Shoulder Porchetta Sandwich at Barbacco

December 20th, 2010 by Jonas / Filed under Food, Italian, Must Eat / Leave A Comment

Barbacco may be my new favorite lunch joint in the Financial District, and just for their one item: the slow roasted shoulder porchetta sandwich. It has the perfect blend of sweet from the roasted grapes, savory from the asiago cheese, and juiciness from the pork itself. (Happy birthday, Lina!) 220 California St (between Front St [...]
