Doña has great food, fantastic margaritas, and a large outdoor seating area on one of the best streets for shopping and eating in Oakland, Piedmont Ave.

The baja fish tacos are my go to! But don't sleep on the sandwiches or the chicharron.
Cholita Linda
Ethiopian
Oakland has a seriously good Ethiopian food scene
The first place I ever tried ethiopian cuisine, and I've been hooked ever since! My go-to is usually the veggie platter and beef tibs if I'm hungry.
Enssaro Ethiopian Restaurant
Italian
Probably the best pasta I've had in Oakland. Just go.
Belotti Ristorante e Bottega
The best slice of pizza in Oakland, IMO. NY-style.
