Hibachi-San, 1491 W Covell Blvd, Davis, CA 95616, US

Davis's newest Italian restaurant fills the previously unoccupied "fast-casual" niche in that dining category. At Rostini Italian Kitchen, customers can place their order at the front counter and then wait for their meal to be served in the dining room. The menu features solid Italian fare such as spaghetti and herb-seasoned meatball sandwiches along with more remarkable items including veggie-skewer salad and prosciutto pizza with fig-preserve sauce. Parking is convenient, the central Marketplace lot being just a few steps from Rostini's front door, though all the cars somewhat mar the view through the wide window.
