Founded on Chestnut Street in 2004 and named for Italy's Autostrada dei Due Mari, this spot centers on Southern Italian cooking and Vera Pizza Napoletana made in wood-fired ovens. The menu balances Neapolitan pizza, pastas and meatballs with Northern Californian produce, a James Beard Award-winning wine list and close ties to Italian producers; La Pala presents Roman-style pizza al taglio and an alimentari.
