Absolute's menu and atmosphere reflect the eclectic Californian cuisine with seafood, Italian fusion and an extensive wine list. The small dining room fills up quickly with patrons eager to enjoy the creative dishes at Absolute, the newest restaurant on Laurel Street. The name means "Perfect in Quality," and that's just what you get-the best of bold Italian cooking. This new dining spot is already making its mark on locals, thanks to perfect pastas and risotto dishes, a well-chosen wine list, and authentic Italian environment. Homemade pastas topped with savory Italian sausage or meatballs are a perfect solution for times when only good old-fashioned Italian will do.
