Enzo Rosano grew up in a town just outside of Naples, Italy. His fondest memories of his childhood are centered around his mother’s cooking and the spirited meals he shared with his eight siblings. Mama Carmela’s amazing cooking kept her children close to home throughout their childhood and young adulthood. Her culinary influence also played a role in Enzo’s decision to enroll in the Scuola Alberghieria Culinary and Hospitality program in Naples. Upon completion of his culinary training, Enzo landed a job as bartender at Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Vong’s in London. Next was a stop as bar manager at The Berkeley Knightsbridge, a luxury property also in London. When he came to the Bay Area, his first stop was in Half Moon Bay where he helped open one of the town’s most popular restaurants, Mezza Luna, with family friend, Roberto Giovanni. At Caffe Riace,Enzo joined his brothers and worked alongside them as they made plans to open AquaPazza in San Mateo in 2008

Traditionally inspired from dishes, ingredients & techniques spanning the Malay archipelago, namely Singapore & Indonesia. Regionally influenced by Northern California’s palette of producers, produce, and presentation. Essentially: expressing these tropical, cosmopolitan island flavor profiles through the abundance of what thrives in Northern California’s Mediterranean climate and terrain. Nusantara cuisines could be characterized as intense, rich, spiced (more than spicy). Steeped in time and layers of complexity, both in the kitchen and in the long history of diverse peoples in this part of the world. Chef Nora Haron draws from this wealth of culinary knowledge, plus contrasting Californian influences, which some could say to be the polar opposite: that deconstructed-composed, whole-ingredients-laid-bare simplicity, the lightness that has evolved in California eating through the few decades of this relatively young place.

Love the new menu! Food is always super fresh and tasty. We had a margherita pizza, tuna bowl and curry entree. Delicious and great service as always. Look forward to exploring their new drink menu when 'dry January' is over!

The tacos were fantastic. I had a lobster taco & a shrimp taco. The shrimp taco was out of this world. My husband had a chicken taco & a filet mignon taco. They were both delicious, but he preferred the chicken. Our normal server was not in today, and even though the restaurant was pretty slow, our server took a very long time between visits to the table. My husband had to go to the hostess station to tell them we were ready to order.

If you have time to enjoy an amazing brunch by chef Nora then you will be pleasantly surprised. The food is delicious, prepared to perfection, and equally visually appealing. I have filled her for years and the food she parpares never disappoints.

One of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. Intimate interior dining and a covered exterior. Incredibly friendly staff, always welcoming and super accommodating. Bartenders can craft up anything and the menu is great. Winter salad was delicious, a new ragu pastas dish really flavorful and generous portions, good wine list to go with the southern Italian cuisine and the desserts about be missed. Lemon sorbet for a lighter side, tiramisu and cakes for sharing. The cappuccinos are perfect as well.
