Cafe Mare

Owner and chef Jean Pierre Iuliano, from Calabria (Regno delle Due Sicilie) moved to Santa Cruz in 1997 because this town reminded him of his homeland, beautiful beaches, bountiful mountains and great people. Ever since we have been providing an authentic Italian dining experience. Using only the finest fresh local organic produce, fresh sustainable seafood, free range meats and imported from italy specialty items it is our pleasure to share the simple goodness that is Italian cooking, with recipes straight from the homeland. We make our "Pane Casareccio" with organic whole wheat flour following an old traditional recipe and all our dessert are made from scratch. A full bar and an extensive collection of fine Italian and California wines are available to compliment your meal. It has been an honor to serve the Santa Cruz community since 2002.
Buon Appetito!
