Join us for our Love Local Hog Island Oyster Palooza! Hog Island harvests its Sweetwater and Highwater oysters and delivers them fresh to Bianchini’s — shucked to order. Sweetwaters, grown in Tomales Bay, bring a medium texture and mild brine with a slightly sweet, smoky finish. Highwaters, from Humboldt Bay, offer a medium texture and light brine with an earthy finish. It’s the same oyster many local specialty restaurants insist on.

Bianchini’s annual Love Local event kicks off this Wednesday, August 26, and runs all the way through September!

So mark your calendar and come experience local with us. Remember:

Think Local. Shop Local. Stay Local. Love Local.

Have you heard? Our fresh-cut fruits and vegetables make snacking and meal prep effortless — and with summer winding down and school back in session, they’re the perfect grab-and-go answer for busy days.

We select only the finest, freshest produce, hand-cut it right here in the store, and pack it in sturdy, resealable containers. Stop by our produce department any day of the week to see what’s ready. Fresh has never tasted so good!

There’s something new to love in San Carlos: fresh-made Burrito Bowls, available every day. Choose your protein — grilled chicken or carne asada — and we’ll build it fresh with romaine lettuce, rice, black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, fresh crema, cheddar cheese, and our roasted pepper sauce. It’s a hearty, flavor-packed meal that’s ready when you are.

And it’s no surprise our takeout is turning heads — Bianchini’s is your 2026 Almanac Readers’ Choice for Best Takeout! San Carlos store only.
