Tapas in Livermore
Small plates for the table, from the fields, the sea and the grill. Two or three a person, in rounds.
The way to eat
A Spanish dinner is many plates, and everyone reaches.
Tapas came out of bars, a small plate over the glass, and grew into the way Spain eats in company. At L Campo the menu opens with them and the kitchen sends them as they are ready, not all at once, so the table is never empty and never crowded. Order a first round, then decide on a paella or a main for the table, or keep going with tapas until the churros.
We kindly ask that no changes be made to our dishes.

Good to know
How many tapas should we order?
Two to three per person, and more if the table skips a main. Order in rounds: the first plates arrive while you read the rest of the menu.
Are the tapas shared?
Yes, every dish at L Campo is meant for the table. A plate arrives and gets passed.
Which tapas are gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan?
Each one is marked on the menu. Patatas bravas, pimientos de padrón, the roasted mushrooms and the chef's salad are vegan; the octopus, shrimp and scallops are gluten-free and dairy-free.
Is there a cheaper way to try them?
Happy hour, Tuesday to Friday from 3 to 6, puts a short tapas list at a few dollars a plate.
