Hi {{ first_name | default: neighbor }},
June starts strong around Lamorinda this week. There’s an outdoor Agatha Christie production in Orinda, a plaza concert in Lafayette, food trucks rolling into town Thursday night, and Tiny Beautiful Things opening at Town Hall Theatre. Add in farmers markets, live music, and a stretch of early-summer evenings that finally feel built for staying out a little longer, and the calendar suddenly feels very full in the best way.
🍝 LOCAL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Ristorante Amoroma has been one of those dependable Moraga spots for years, especially if you’re looking for an easy neighborhood dinner that still feels a little special. The Roman-style Italian restaurant recently refreshed its lounge and patio spaces, expanded weekday happy hour (Monday through Friday, 3–6 PM), and added more casual menu options alongside its longtime pasta and dinner favorites. Between the Thursday wine tastings, family-style catering, and flexible gathering spaces, it’s also becoming more of a go-to for group dinners, clubs, and neighborhood meetups.
🍽️ LAMORINDA DINNER CLUB
The next Lamorinda Dinner Club is happening Wednesday, June 17 at 6:30 PM in Lafayette. It’s a casual shared dinner for locals who want a reason to get out midweek, meet new people, and spend a few hours around a good table with other Lamorinda neighbors. No networking agenda, no awkward structure, just good food, conversation, and a community that keeps growing each month. Spots are already starting to fill.
