Rockridge (from yesterday's post: Oliveto, Filippos):
Uzon: only get take-out, good sushi, cute space, agree with Anonymous
Rikyu: more good sushi, expensive but tastier. Boringest location in all Rockridge?
Garibaldi's: Where your parents might eat if they were rich here.
Pasta Pomodoro: Like its siblings, big pasta plates, outdoor seating, does job.
Crepevine: Hard to get behind crepes, big lunch menu, good lemonade
Ben 'n Nicks: Every Saturday, kid-filled bar, love the nachos and beer.
Cactus: Allegedly Chez Panisse spin-off, delicious Mexican, no table service. Great.
Khana Peena: Wierd dome, great tikka masala, cost too expensive for Indian.
Currylicious: Bad name, hard to find, really fresh, tasty, they deliver.
Okay, that covers all the places that I have eaten at between Rockridge BART and the intersection of College and Broadway. Many many shops in that stretch too, if shopping is your bag.
As an aside, I fully endorse Anonymous (actually, its just Pat) on Barlata and Dopo. Dopo and Cesar are located on Piedmont Ave, another shop-filled neighborhood. Barlata is in Temescal, near Pizzaiolo.
Barlata: good tapas, house wine in a small carafe, totally awesome.
Dopo: nice owner, great Italian food. Again with the small portions?
Dona Tomas, Temescal: High-end Mexican by Flora owners, where Pizzaiolo rejects eat.
