Another iconic Berkeley spot. Just down the street from Chez Panisse, and it only serves vegetarian pizza. You can get it by the slice or a whole or half. One type of pizza, and it changes everyday. Not open on Sunday or Monday.

Great Chinese Food in a modern and airy setting. There are the usual menu items, but my favorites are the green beans, and fried rice. Very friendly staff, and open on Christmas!

A great breakfast and lunch spot. There are specialty menu items and a great staff. Expect to wait if you go on a Saturday or Sunday morning. There's a community table, and a couple of places to sit outside under an awning.

This is a new restaurant in our area, but a great place with fantastic homemade pasta and a friendly staff. Informal set-up with ordering at the counter and your food is brought to your table. It can be very busy with students and young families, but it's well worth the wait.
