Tannourine Lebanese & Mediterranean Cuisine
Mediterranean, Middle Eastern
120 W 25th Avenue, San Mateo, CA, 94403 US
|
|
Welcome to Tannourine! The Tannourine Family restaurant features the cuisine of Lebanon and the Mediterranean diet, serving dishes that include an abundance of starches, fruits, vegetables, and meat. Lamb and Poultry are the preferred meats of choice; red meat animal fats are consumed sparingly. Fresh fish and seafood is offered on available quantity only. Most often foods are either grilled, baked or sautéed in olive oil; butter or cream is rarely used other than in the preparation of a few desserts. Vegetables are eaten raw or pickled as well as cooked.While the cuisine of Lebanon does not boast an entire repertoire of sauces,Tannourine does focus on the use of herbs, spices and especially the freshness of ingredients in the preparation of their savory dishes.The meals are full of robust earthy flavors and like most Mediterranean countries, much of what the Lebanese eat is governed by seasonal changes.We at Tannourine are proud to offer either hot "mezza" or cold "mezza," served along with our most popular beverages. Tannourine also features various Lebanese wines, beers and soft drinks.What is a "mezza?" Traditionally, throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, from Greek to Lebanon, dining on "meze" - or "mezze"and"maza" respectively -is a way of life that traces its roots to the beginnings of recorded history. The tradition is deeply rooted and is an expression of something Greeks hold dear: socializing (i.e.,talking) over a few plates of simple tasty food, letting the wine or spirits flow and savoring the liberating, gratifying effects of the meal and drink together.The word itself means "middle," as in "middle-of-the day," or between meals, because the "meze table is not routinely considered a setting for a full meal. Rather it is something that is eaten mid-day or before dinner.

Pudley's catered a party for 25 people for me on a Saturday night. It was excellent!!!! They delivered promptly and the food was awesome. We had two different Italian sausages, flank steak, rigatoni and a Cesar salad. They brought soft rolls for either the sausages or thinly sliced flank steak. There was a lot left over too! I would cater from them again in a heartbeat and wouldn't hesitate to tell anyone to use their services. Great Job Perry and Thank you!!!

Straw Hat Pizza

It was summer, 1959. Frankie Avalon was at the top of the charts and Sandra Dee played "Gidget" in the very first Beach Party movie. The Brooklyn Dodgers had just arrived in Los Angeles, but surfing was the real Straw Hat Pizza helped to innovate a business attitude over 50 years ago by what today is referred to as "Going Green". Straw Hat Pizza was a leader in this movement by insisting on using locally grown fresh produce from within 150 miles and making fresh pizza using only all natural ingredients. Straw Hat began serving its trailblazing "Genuine California Pizza" on July 10, 1959. It was an unrivaled pizza with a layered, flaky crust, the freshest toppings, light sauce, and six kinds of naturally aged cheese. Straw Hat's California creation was unlike any other pizza. It was crisper and tastier, and it satisfied a "Left Coast" appetite for fresher, lighter, and more unique offerings. Little did anyone realize at the time, but Straw Hat was on the cutting edge of a taste trend that would last for more than five decades to come.

The restaurant's interior features a deli case filled with lovely cakes and pastries, as well as pastel Italian gelatos. Why not start with dessert? Other superb selections include rich Tiramisu, fresh fruit-topped custard cream tarts, and dark chocolate walnut brownies that are the perfect size and shape for a scoop of creamy gelato. The dining room features diamond-lined granite topped set tables, which are reflected in a mirror-lined wall flanked by Corinthian columns. The atmosphere is quaint, airy, and welcoming, just like a true Trattoria. The white walls are hung with original oil paintings of Italian street scenes. Baskets filled with loaves of bread, olive oil, and vegetables, along with shelves lined with ingredients for the restaurant's sauces-Alfredo, Marinara, Puttanesca and White Clam-hold a promise of what's to come. Pasta Primavera Café and Bakery is owned by Amir Tehrani, who has never wavered from his mission to make sure every one of his customers leave happy and more than satisfied. And with over 65 items on the menu, there's something for every appetite. Every meal at Pasta Primavera begins with complimentary warm French bread and a dish of caponata (a fabulous sun dried tomato, garlic, olive oil, roasted eggplant and fresh basil puree). Amir's offering may seem complicated but his philosophy is not. All of his dishes start with either a basic Marinara redolent of garlic and olive oil, a cream sauce, or a garlic olive oil sauce, and go from there to create an imaginative and distinctive array of vegetarian, chicken, seafood, veal and combination pasta dishes. A list of the Chef's special creations is included, which always offers a grilled fresh fish.
