38 Essential Restaurants in the East Bay

"The Bay Area can get expensive, so it’s a relative relief when a restaurant serves a delicious meal at a shockingly low price. Such is the case at Mama, which serves a seasonal, three-course meal for $39.95 per person. Diners will have the option of two choices for each course, starting with a bright salad or hearty soup, a choice of main course — word to the wise, add on the optional meatballs if you can — plus dessert. There are also add-ons if you’re looking for a dish to share, such as a recent balsamic-braised short rib. Add on a glass of wine and enjoy the welcoming and cozy dining room filled with locals." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
