Best Cosy Restaurants in Occidental

Great locals restaurant with delicious food. Especially the pastas

We went to celebrate my partners birthday. The remodel of the outdoor seating was spectacular. We sat in a corner booth, comfortable cushions and lovely warm overhead heater!! The food was spectacular and exceeded expectations. The cheese ravioli with red sauce yummy, root vegetable lasagna fabulous and the clam linguini best we have ever tasted. The gem salad was the best salad we have ever had!!! We loved very thing and the starter of knot bread was chewy and full of garlic and had amazing dipping sauce sauce. The colors, texture and delicious flavors along with fresh ingredients made the food spectacular. 91 y/o momma loved house made Italian soda and we loved the house cocktails very yummy. The perfect spot for a fabulous birthday dinner.

Our server, Thimas, was great! The food was impeccable! Highly recommend!

The exec chefs are a married couple, one from Brazil and one from Argentina. Their food is so brilliant and just tasted so good! The sourdough is incredibly soft and the crust is so delicate but crunchy. We loved the scallops and the polenta. Everything tasted so special and different than how we've had it before. Meghan was our server and we felt so cared for! She brought us out so many different types of tastings of wines and we settled on an amazing Argentinian Chenin-Blanc! The only note we had was one of the servers (not Meghan) came by and asked us to identify our ethnicities and proceeded to share tropes that she identified with them. We felt extremely uncomfortable. Meghan kindly came by afterwards to apologize and check in on us. But we did hope that other diners in the future will not have to experience that. We would love to come back and experience the food in the future but hope that this is addressed.

What a hidden gem! From the service to the food, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
