De La Torre's Trattoria - Review - Pleasanton - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"This classic Italian-American spot feels straight out of the 1950s, with its ochre walls, an antique hutch displaying painted ceramics and stemware, and cozy leather booths. The bread basket’s focaccia and sourdough arrive at your table warm, and the menu delivers on all the old-school dishes you’d hope for: crisp calamari, cheesy oven-baked ziti with fennel-heavy Sicilian sausage, and garlicky, buttery shrimp scampi. It’s the kind of spot you’ll want to bring a group of people you love, steal bites off one another’s plates, and find an excuse to stay for another glass of wine." - Gabi Moskowitz
