Picks:
Spaghetti Con Cipollotti Gamberoni ($14) Spring onion, prawns, Trebbiano wine; roasted garlic “mollica” had tasty home made, hand made noodles in a garlicy sauce that was on the zesty side. Five good sized prawns pre cut.
Pizza Margherita ($10) Tomato, basil, oregano & fresh mozzarella cheese was excellent. Nice very thin crust, not soggy, crispy edges, flavorful cheese. Some of the best thin crust pizza on the Peninsula.
Tagliata DI Agnello ($19) Marinated grilled & sliced Colorado lamb top round, “aceto balsamico” was a nice meaty dish full of high quality lamb cooked to a rare, making it a little chewy. Not gamey. Included a pretty healthy polenta made with buckwheat and some veggies underneath. If you do not like rare, let them know.
OK:
Biete E Fave ($7) Half Moon Bay fava beans, roasted Chioggia & golden beets salad looked nice but was fairly light and had a little too much olive oil. Nice fresh beets and beans.
Pans:
None
Donato Enoteca had good service. Bus boys kept our water full, the server was friendly but not knowledgeable on the food’s special details. Additionally, their home made bread was excellent. Prices are reasonable and quality is high, making this an easy bet for superior Italian food on the Peninsula. Nice select of glasses of Wine from $7, bottles from $30.
