The atmosphere, energy and Italian vibe of this restaurant makes it a hot spot for locals and tourists. Try their featured Flatliner Martini, it is one of my all time favorites and something they are known for.

Parks & Nature

The view from the top is worth it. There is two access points, one from Foothill (which is the hardest route) and the other you park in the neightbordhood off Highland Drive. My 60 year old mother did this so anyone with some determination can do this one.

Very steep but breath taking views of the coastline once you make it. Looks like Italy or something from the top. And the giant swings near the top are a plus and a must to swing on.
