Impasto Pizzeria Ristorante: The Latest Neapolitan Pizza in San Carlos
Welcome to Impasto
Introducing Impasto, the latest culinary venture from the esteemed restaurateurs behind the beloved Bay Area eateries iTalico and Terún. Set to open its doors at 661 El Camino Real in San Carlos near the Caltrain station in early 2024, Impasto promises to bring an authentic and innovative Neapolitan-style pizza experience to the community.
Terún and iTalico
The roots of this Italian restaurant group were planted by Franco Campilongo on Palo Alto’s California Avenue, starting with Terún in 2013, which he opened with his brother Maico and cousin Kristyan d’Angelo. iTalico followed in 2016 just a few blocks away. Both restaurants serve pizza, pasta, and small plates, with Terún known for its signature black-tiled pizza oven and iTalico earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its exquisite platters of salumi, cheese, and pastas like wide, flat paccheri served with braised ribeye.
Impasto Menu
Impasto, which means “dough” in Italian, will continue this tradition of excellence with a focus on traditional Neapolitan pizza made with the freshest ingredients. However, Franco Campilongo is particularly excited to experiment with new pizza doughs, incorporating domestic and whole wheat flours in addition to the imported varieties that have defined his other restaurants’ offerings.
In addition to its signature pizzas, Impasto’s menu will feature a variety of antipasti, salads, and desserts, all complemented by a thoughtfully curated cocktail menu and an impressive wine list. The restaurant’s atmosphere is designed to be warm and welcoming, making dining at Impasto not just a meal, but an experience. Guests can enjoy a full bar, an inviting outdoor patio, and a private room for special events.
Opening of Impasto in San Carlos
As Campilongo and his team prepare to open Impasto sometime June 2024, they look forward to serving both loyal patrons and new visitors, ensuring that each dining experience is memorable and delicious. “We feel excited and lucky to have such amazing support from the community … we’re sure we’ll have the same support from the San Carlos area,” says Campilongo, a Redwood City resident.
