    5 Reasons We Love Living in San Ramon

      If you have ever visited San Ramon, you might be pleasantly surprised to discover what this city could offer!  Whether you've been here for a while, just visiting, or thinking of moving to our city, we're sure you are intrigued by what else San Ramon could give you. You might ask, why do we love this quiet suburban city? Here are the top 5 reasons:  1. It's considered to be one of the safest cities in the country! Some of our team members who lived and grew up in the city can definitely testify to the absence of crimes in the area. There are no bad neighborhoods and children can freely and safely play in the streets without any fear of danger.  (Source) 2. Plenty of authentic restaurants to choose from!  Just looking around the city, you'll notice the wonderful diversity of our population here. That's why it calls for restaurants that offer authentic food from different countries and cultures!  You're sure that the food is authentic since most of the chefs in these restaurants have been in the countries where the dishes originated.  According to one resident, "there are some delicious food spots, and everything is within a 5-mile drive." Some of our favorites are Yellow Chilli by Chef Sanjeev Kapoor (a renowned Master chef from India), The Slanted Door (Vietnamese), The Shish Grill for some authentic Lebanese dishes and more!  Here are some of our favorite restaurants in the area!  3. San Ramon is one of the wealthiest cities in the country San Ramon is not only the wealthiest city in the state, but also in the whole country. The typical area household earns an income of $189,185 annually, compared to the median household income across the state of $80,440 and the national median of $65,712. (Source) 4. Commutable to SF tech companies and great jobs in the city! One of the reasons why San Ramon is one of the wealthiest cities is that many of the residents are employed in the nearby SF tech companies. For those who are planning to work in these companies, San Ramon is the best place to live! Aside from the nearby companies in San Francisco, some of the largest employers in San Ramon are the companies like Chevron, San Ramon Pediatric Specialty Clinic, GE Digital Headquarters Five9, Inc, and San Ramon Chamber of Commerce. (Source) 5. Education here is unlike any other city.  Residents of San Ramon definitely give a high priority to education that's why it's essential for them to live in a city where the education offered is of the best in rankings.  30% of the city's population is under 18 and nearby high-quality schools are one of the priorities to prepare their children for higher education.  (Source) Even though the schools put greater importance on academics, students still get to explore their other interests through a wide variety of activities that they can sign up for inside and outside their schools. The city ensures that the development of the child is not only intellectual but in all aspects.  In fact, 40% of the population in San Ramon has a Bachelor's degree compared to the 21% in the whole of California. This proves that the educational programs in the city work to their residents' advantage.    SUMMARY Whether you admit it or not, you'll love living in San Ramon!

Piatti's is a homey restaurant is located at 100 Sycamore Valley Road Danville, CA 94526. You can call them at 925-838-2082 before going to make sure that they can accommodate you. Don't worry, the staff is very amiable and they know all of us. How it Started Our office was nearby this restaurant so we would go there after a team meeting for lunch! It was Rama and Sunil's idea to go there first and now we all love it! We all have our favorite dishes that we always get, two of which are the lemon cream ravioli and shrimp pasta which we got during our recent visit. We also love their fresh baked warm bread that comes out first with olive oil, and chili pepper dip. Our Favorites Even during the height of the pandemic, their service is great and fast. Even their outdoor dining is great! Their desserts are good too, if we're in the mood we'll all split one!   We are guilty. We almost always come back for this beloved dish. It also offers this delicious cocktail too if someone has a closing, gets a contract, or just needs a break!   Contact Them These are their open hours: Sunday-Thursday | 11:30am - 7:30pm Friday & Saturday | 11:30am - 8:00pm Website: https://danville.piatti.com/ FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/PiattiDanville/ If ever you drive by Danville anytime, give them a visit.
