Try our savory rustic Italian dishes, such as the Braised Chicken Arrabiata with Calabrian Chilies, or thin-crust Pizza with Grilled Asparagus and Smoked Proscuitto or Spring Onion-Smoked Mozzarella Arancini, with sweet & spicy Tomato Jam and Marjoram. Don’t forget dessert,with a Bombolini of ricotta and orange zest fritter dipped in ltalian Hot Chocolate, or a simple scoop of our Huckleberry and Mint House-made Sorbetto!

—Shiva SwaminathanSr. Resource Planner, Electricity
It’s very satisfying to help the City of Palo Alto be more energy effi cient and lower carbon emissions. But what really drives me is my children. I want them to grow up in a cleaner world than the one I grew up in.
So, I am very excited about our City’s recent decision to only purchase completely carbon-neutral electric supplies. We are among the fi rst cities in the nation to take this step towards a healthier, cleaner planet.
To watch a fun video and get more details on our 100% carbon-neutral electric plan, visit CityofPaloAlto.org/UTLcarbonfree
www.cityofpaloalto.org/UTLcarbonfree
I’m working for your kids, my kids and our carbon-free future.
