Mediterranean-Rim and California Coastal Cuisine
Pronounced che-trella and named for the Isle of Capri's panoramic valley views like San Francisco’s coast and Farallons, Cetrella shares Capri’s distinction as a nexus of worldly gastronomy. Cetrella’s kitchen offers accessible fine dining that blends Mediterranean-rim and California coastal cuisines with rotating seasonal vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, premium seafood, poultry and meat dishes, and housemade pasta, pizza and dessert. Beverage offerings include an extensive global wine list, signature cocktails, artisan beer and organic fresh-pressed juices.
Cetrella is pleased to operate in the newly designed venue by Gensler, the firm that won first place in Building Design and Construction’s 2023 ranking for the top 130 Hospitality Facility Architecture Firms. The State Street Market site features design elements that align with Cetrella’s Mediterranean-Rim business concept. These include the central Paseo with its outdoor courtyard dining, custom iron railing and a selection of hand-painted tiles created by Fireclay Tile. Fireclay’s cuerda seca method, first created by Persians who introduced it to Spain, is known through other ceramic traditions including the Santa Barbara one that State Street Market models in its design. Fireclay’s Cuerda Seca Collection in Cetrella’s Paseo hint at the Mediterranean and California blend of its cuisines: Moorish Knot, Avila, San Sebastian and Old California. Cetrella’s restaurant and bar walls are painted in atmospheric Venetian plaster in hues to evoke the shared California and Mediterranean land and seascapes that inspire its cuisine: beige beach and cliffs, green foliage and forestry, and blue sea and sky. Cetrella recently installed a folding glass door to the terrace facing State Street, to extend the visual flow from the Paseo rollup garage window into the restaurant.
A year ago it launched The Grotto speakeasy, a well-reviewed night spot in a brick walled private room with pewter toned ceiling and raw wood elements recycled from former Hollywood Bowl benches. In The Grotto, guests enjoy flavorful cocktails and mocktails named after cut-outs by Henri Matisse that adorn the walls, created for his Jazz series of 1947. Also serving wine by the glass and bottle, beer and snacks. The Grotto also serves as Cetrella's private dining room for smaller parties.
