"Jame Enoteca is one of our favorite Italian places in the South Bay. Or anywhere, for that matter. All of the pasta at this small strip mall spot is hand-rolled in their tiny kitchen. Our favorites are the capellini in 36-hour tomato sauce and the spicy rigatoni alla vodka, but you can’t go wrong with any of them. There are great non-pasta dishes, too, like the kale salad with spicy almond vinaigrette and a fork-tender pork shank glazed in Lambrusco-mustard sauce. If you're looking for a more casual drinks and bar snacks situation, head to John Thomas Bar—it's a cocktail-focused extension off the main dining room that's perfect for a low-key date night.
