Seafood and Pasta Kitchen - San Rafael - Marin

The much beloved Pronto Pasta in an unsightly industrial lot on the outskirts of San Rafael closed a couple of months ago when the owner, Franco, and his family moved to South America. As it was a favourite, weekly lunch stop and close to our work, we were missing it badly. We were encouraged, however, by the information that it would be reopened by a young chef, who wanted to keep at least some of, Franco's menu intact.

Today was the day when we finally noticed that the Seafood and Pasta Kitchen was open. By a whisker, Second customers through the door, and first to order. Yes, Fred and I had the first ever meal at the new restaurant. We'll try it a couple more times and then report back on the menu. Watch this space.

  1. Hey there -
    Just noticed your link Sibilous, via the magic of site meter. Nifty! Cheers!
    Nice photos, btw. I envy you your digicam.

    Perhaps someday we could combine the might of our separate foodie powers and jointly decide to go review some place.

    Except for its location this is one of the best restaurants I've been to in a long while. My partner had seared Ahi and it was as good as any we've had in Marin; I had a great fresh Pasta dish and loved every bite. The Caesar salad was tangy - not afraid to be a Caesar. The interior of Seafood & Pasta Kitchen is lovely. The new owners gutted it - very upscale. The server was attentive. The chef, Jason, oversees and works side by side in the ktichen - attention to detail is obvious. Don't worry about the location not being glamorous. Once you're inside the food and ambiance will make you forget it's in a business neighborhood. Just enjoy that you have found one of the best secrets in Marin!

    The Seafood & Pasta Kitchen is absolutely delicious. I try to introduce as many people as I can to it, so that it will be there for a long time, as the location makes it an unlikely winner.
