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. 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!

To All Our Valued Guests and Friends,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the transition of ownership at Cafe Mare after over twenty one years of service to the Santa Cruz community. Owner Jean Pierre Iuliano and family would like to acknowledge and deeply thank all our devoted staff whose hard work and dedication have been a pillar of our success, as well as all our loyal patrons and Santa Cruz family who have supported us through challenges and triumphs. The Iuliano family is looking forward to their next chapter, but remain forever grateful to have had the opportunity to make so many cherished memories with this community.

Grazie
