Patria is the brainchild of Paolo Kautz, founder and former chef at Cafe Rustica, and his business partner, Gloria Magdirila, whose family has owned the building since the 1960s. With a full bar, a wine list dominated by local reds, Kautz’ deft hand in the kitchen and Magdirila’s welcoming presence in the front, Patria is the go-to place in Salinas.

What better way to celebrate California Wine Month than with a glass of Pessagno?

September is a celebration of the vineyards, winemakers, and wines that make California such an extraordinary place to raise a glass—and here on the Central Coast, we have plenty to celebrate.

Join us at Patria this Wine Wednesday and enjoy Pessagno alongside your favorite dish from Chef José’s kitchen.

Great California wine. Great food. And no better reason to make Wednesday night dinner plans.

Cheers to California Wine Month.

You can almost smell it through the screen.

This is what happens when the freshest seafood meets a slow-simmered, house-made sauce — rich, aromatic, and layered with flavor. From sweet prawns to tender shellfish, every bite is designed to draw you in and keep you lingering just a little longer.

Dinner is calling. The table is waiting.
