We didn’t choose the easiest path but we chose to follow our wildest dreams that eventually led us to each other. We show love by cooking, and there’s always a seat at our table for you. @mytarocco is an extension of our home- warm, chaotic and full of love. ❤️

Thank you to @eastbaynosh for helping to share our story. We applaud local journalism!

And thank you to our ride or die @turnipthatbeet for being an exceptional cook, for the post-work decompression sessions and for believing in the vision from day one. We love you.

When “I could eat” becomes urgent and hungry becomes hangry, might we suggest these in-between-bites and flavor-packed snacks?

Chef-owner Melissa Perello discovered our shop years ago, after a hunt for Urfa Biber led her to us. Her restaurant Octavia’s take on a “Devil’s Egg” features a jammy center and plenty of Eastern Mediterranean Spice, highly recommended with a side of crusty bread for dipping.

We are so excited to welcome Flour + Water to our community! They opened their first Oakland outpost last year, and their Grand Lake Shake wings have been a staple on the menu ever since.

Kampot Peppercorns are the star of Michelin-mentioned Nite Yun’s Khmer Fried Chicken. Just looking at these crackly-craggy-crunchy-wings, studded with peppercorns, makes us want to hop on the ferry to seek them out.

Grand Lake Kitchen has been our neighbor-besties for nearly 14 years! These juicy Lamb Merguez meatballs feature a smoky-savory pistachio Salsa Macha chile oil. We may or may not grab a plate on our lunch break.

TAROCCO is our Berkeley warehouse team’s favorite lunch spot for flavor-packed salads. Their bright purple charred cabbage transforms lunch into art, and lunch-al-desko into something worth celebrating.

Joodooboo is a tofu and banchan shop in North Oakland serving fresh dooboo and hyper-seasonal veggies. They’re featuring our Vadouvan dusted atop crispy-fried tofu this October like it’s 2010 again.

Umami architects Yoko and Kayoko are serving up bowls of Sesame Miso Shake popcorn at their sake bar this October, the perfect pairing for our two collab cocktails also on the menu.
