Pasta Cuisine, Oakland, CA

Pasta Cuisine
City Center, Oakland, CA



Crisp Rhode Island Calamari with peppers, onion, and tomato 8.95

7 Batter
Yum, but ordinary looking. Spiced with black pepper? I like a spicy batter, and it was decent on that account.

8 Accoutrements
Caramelized and raw onions--very healthy and delicious (antioxidants, flavinoids?). sun-dried and regular tomatoes. nice coloring, the big spots of red, although fried calamari looks bland against a bed of caramelized onions.

8 Squid
Not chewy. Not fishy. Good texture.

0 Sauce
Non existent.

Overall

5.75 + an arbitrary extra 1 point for the generous helping of tentacles and flavinoids =

6.75

Rhode Island ne'er tasted so good.
