I had a shrimp dish tonight at Fino
http://www.andrewshotel.com/fino.html and was pleasantly surprised.

Gamberi
Prawns sautéed with lemon, butter, capers & white wine, served with
fresh vegetables & capellini with tomato sauce

I don't think the pasta was capellini. It was flatish and seemed
thinner than linguini. There was only a hint of tomato sauce on the
pasta (just the way I lprefer it as a side). The vegetable was chard
sautéed in olive oil and garlic (delicious - more experiences like
that would change my mind about chard). We also ordered sides of
broccoli rabe. YUM!

Wines were a MonteVina Pinot Grigio from Santa Barbara, which isn't
listed on their web site (we got the last bottle) and a Dry Creek Fumé
Blanc. Prices were very reasonable.

We came back to the house for home made apple pie and ice cream after
dinner. It was another good evening out with long time friends.
