Livermore Restaurant Opening Soon, Is Among '10 Highly Anticipated'

LIVERMORE, CA — The foodies at The Mercury News included a new Livermore eatery on a list of 10 highly anticipated Bay Area restaurant openings in early 2024.

Cured: Fish Bar is expected to open later this month with fresh raw seafood and a curated gallery of sake.

Restaurant veterans Frances Catano and Joe Tomaszak have worked in noted restaurants including San Francisco’s Robin and Los Angeles’ Ototo.

"We live out here in Sunol, and have worked in San Francisco for 10 years or so, and sad to say, we don’t have anywhere in this area that we can pop in before dinner or on a sunny day for raw bar bites," Catano told the newspaper. "Something about slurping down oysters, tasty bread and butter and a nice glass of wine is nostalgic – and an overall experience we wanted to provide."

Food sources for the restaurant include a sustainable hook-and-line fish company operating from San Francisco’s Pier 45, and a Sunol farm that grows and presses olives for oil. The pair are sourcing local Sake, as well, including Den Sake from Oakland and Sequoia Sake in San Francisco.

Cured: Fish Bar will open later this month at 136 Maple St. in Livermore.
