Lungomare

Lungomare, the Jack London Square Italian Restaurant, Closes After Seven Years on the Oakland Waterfront - Eater SF

"Seven years ago, Oakland was still fairly early on in its rise to becoming one of the buzziest food destinations in the entire country, and the Jack London Square neighborhood was largely seen as a culinary non-entity. When restaurateur Chris Pastena’s seafood-oriented Italian spot on the Jack London waterfront, Lungomare, opened in 2013, it helped pave the way for a new wave of better, more ambitious restaurants in the area. But last week, Berkeleyside Nosh reports, the restaurant closed its doors for good." - Luke Tsai
