The Italian food I found closest to New York Italian in California was a place called Granada's which disappeared from the Berkeley Oakland border and then (in a freakish coincidence) reappeared in Jackson shortly after my folks moved there in 1990. Unfortunately, good Italian is prevalent in Jackson and the surrounding towns and Granada's did not survive.
Someday we'll go to Gianini's. It's upcountry in Amador County and what the Olive Garden is a vague caricature of. It's about an hour and a half drive from the new house but I suspect you'd find it worthwhile. And we'll have guest space in the new house. :)
