This sun-splashed location is a hidden treasure on a quiet tree-lined cobblestone promenade. We bring a Taste of Italy to the island of Alameda with delicious Tuscan and regional Italian dishes and an extensive Italian wine list. 

It all started with the creators of C'era Una Volta, all Italian (a native and an Italian-American, one from Palermo and the other from Livorno), and their love for their Tuscan heritage of delicious food, wine, and community. Named, C’era Una Volta, Italian for “once upon a time”, this cuisine is a melange of carefully selected favorites served up seasonally, and with lots of amore.
