Livermore’s Da Boccery is “da place” for food and fun for the whole family. From bocce ball to axe throwing, shuffleboard to giant Jenga, this lively spot pairs casual bites with high-energy activities, plus craft beer and cocktails. Then, in San Bruno, Toto’s Pizzeria & Restaurant claims to be one of the oldest continuously family-owned pizzerias in the country. Now lovingly crafted by its fifth generation of pizza makers, the brick oven-baked pies follow the same traditional recipe first introduced by Grandpa Toto in 1932. Next, sample fresh, cozy Greek taverna and Italian ristorante favorites at a quaint neighborhood spot, The Park Street Tavern in Alameda. Finally, reporter Cecilia Phillips takes in the action at Newark’s Super Market Sundays, as local chefs throw down in a competition for the best fried chicken sandwich.
