I Squared derives from its Iranian and Italian specialties. Our menu is inspired by authentic Iranian, and rustic Italian cuisine(NO FUSION).  We use local, sustainable ingredients, whenever possible.  I Squared is dedicated to stay true to traditional foods of Iran and Italy.

The specialty dishes of I Squared are: Lamb Shank, Koobideh kabaab, barg kabaab, chicken kabaab, cabbage wraps, roasted fish in parchment paper, fesenjoon, khoreshte baademjoon, eggplant parmeggiano and steamed black mussels.

I Squared was designed by Nottoscale, giving it an open ambience by minimalist decor.  Despite the cool style, though, there's a warmth that comes as much from subtle paint tones as from the owners, and the associates.

This comfortable and friendly restaurant has a contemporary dining room filled with "butcher block" tables, open kitchen, and a stainless steel topped bar.  Located in the Rockridge district of Oakland, I Squared is the ideal spot for a festive dinner.
