This is one of my top 3 restaurants in Alameda. If you like Thai and Indian food then you must come here. Amazing flavors. But go early because there is ALWAYS a line.

Even though this is in the shopping center, the food is fantastic. Outdoor seating during summer. Can eat at the bar if the restaurant is full. Good Italian food. Not the Olive Garden!

Off the main island, but still technically Alameda, this is a great sushi restaurant. Definitely ask for any specials as they often have nigiri sushi that's not on the menu.

Not just "another" pizza place that's a little more creative than what you'll find at Dominoes. The Star is housed in located in a former bank so you can see the large wall safe and other elements from its former life. Great pizzas but also a broad menu and a full bar.

Drinks & Nightlife

A great throwback in time to when tiki bars were all the rage. It's dark in there and it's a bit divey but the drinks are strong and huge. For the best experience, go with a group.
