"Sfizio is a small pasta shop (and former pop-up) in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland specializing in solid plates of pasta. The main act here is the $10 rich red sauce spaghetti (sans meatballs), but the cast of other rotating dishes are worth checking out—like the tagliolini with wild morels that's easily slurpable (go ahead, no one's watching), or the charred grilled carrots with a delicious salsa macha. The dining room feels lived in, with a record player, plants, and cookbooks behind the counter where you make order and your drinks are made." - Ricky Rodriguez
