Pasta Pelican

Pasta Pelican is a Italian-American restaurant tucked away at Mariner Square in Alameda, serving a broad menu that runs from classic pastas and steaks to seafood, burgers, and salads — both lunch and dinner. The wine list is surprisingly extensive for a neighborhood spot, with solid red and white options to pair with your meal. It's the kind of place where you can go for a quick weekday lunch or settle in for a full dinner spread without feeling out of place either way.
