Best Restaurants Off I-80 Between San Francisco, Sacramento, and Lake Tahoe | Eater SF

"If you’re in the mood for a terrific sit-down dinner after all that driving, Great Gold will do the trick. Former Flour + Water chef de cuisine Brandon Kirksey opened this Italian American restaurant, serving seasonal pasta and pizzas with locally sourced ingredients. Celebrate the end of your drive — and the official start of your vacation — with a warming plate of bucatini or a slice of the hot salami pizza topped with coppa and salami picante, with a dash of heat from Calabrian chile." - Dianne de Guzman
