PAUSA offers fresh, authentic, and contemporary Italian fare made from scratch with the bounty of Northern California. Chef-Owner Andrea Giuliani creates dishes that complement an all Italian wine list, craft cocktails, and spritzes. Pausa is Italian for “pause” and Owners Steve Ugur and Giuliani invite you to take a short recess from your daily pace of life to enjoy a dining experience that transports you to a place of leisure. Whether you are gathering for Spritz Hour in the lively bar or outdoor parklet, a date night in the ambient dining room, or a behind-the-scenes dinner experience at the Chef’s table, our team will ensure your next pause is a memorable one.
