The Black Cat - Review - Livermore - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"If you’re a city dweller debating a move to Livermore but afraid of losing easy access to cool restaurants, this place will convert you. Exposed brick walls and art deco light fixtures give the space an almost Brooklyn vibe, and the small-plates menu does the same. You’ll want to order the arancini Lorraine, a crispy, cheesy rice ball flavored like the famous quiche with smoky lardons. Follow it up with tangy whipped feta swirled with fermented garlic and honey, and at least one order of the juicy lamb mantu in a tingly Sichuan peppercorn oil, topped with garlicky labne. On the cocktail menu, we love the salty-sweet-bitter lambrusco sangria with amaro and Castelvetranos and the refreshing N/A blackberry-sage smash." - Gabi Moskowitz
