Pausa, a 2018 Michelin Bib Gourmand winner, offers fresh and authentic Italian fare made from scratch with the bounty of Northern California from Chef Owner Andrea Giuliani paired with an all Italian wine list and craft cocktails and spritzes.

Pausa is Italian for "pause" and Owners Steve Ugur and Giuliani intend for their restaurant to be just that.

"Pausa has been become my local go-to. I meet folks for drinks, lunch, dinner. We have many fantastic restaurants in the peninsula but too few of the destination type. I finally have a local restaurant that is cool enough for my SF friends to come down for!" -- A Nueva parent
