Oakland Restaurants

  1. À Côté

    It's one of the best restaurants along College Ave, because À Côté appeals to locals with fine taste. Small plates are the specialty, so while they are priced quite low you might have a lot of them. What the menu calls 'flatbread' is actually pizza for the gods. Mussels with Pernod is a signature dish.

  3. Zachary's Pizza

    Heavy-duty Chicago-style pizza's are the specialty here, but the thin-crust pizzas are just as good, if not better. Expect a long wait for a table.
