I often hangout in Palo Alto and never tried this restaurant, so glad I did eventually! I definitely will back there again.... Food, service and price was good. Hummmm still miss this amazing pasta that works well with Pino. An update; good news they areopen for lunch again! My previous review was before the pandemic! The quality and service is still great! Wonderful staff! Read more
Terrible service. We had to wait forever for a server to come over. Eventually, another person took our order. We had to flag a... food runner to get some olive oil. Only got a water refill towards the end of the dinner. We waited for awhile for the check tobe processed. Food was good though, hence 3 starts. Read more
Large restaurant able to handle a large quantity of guests. Lovely outdoor patio area and we are able to get a party of 7 seated... on Friday without reservations on the outdoor patio. Plenty of parking nearby. Food was quite delicious and classic Italiandishes. Not a bad dish out of all the ones we tried. Read more
Portions are quite big. I’m underwhelmed by the overall taste of the food - they are good but within the realm of basic and... not super impressive. I would say with that price and atmosphere, it’s a pretty good deal in Palo Alto Read more

Food is ok but the service is horrible. We came yesterday to celebrate my son's birthday. We waited 10 minutes to get seated... just because no one was there. 5 waitresses saw us waiting to talk to someone and just ignored us. I finally went to talk to oneof the waitresses and she was nice and got us seated. Then we waited another 15 minutes and no one came to take the order (ourwaitress looked at us a few times but decided to ignore us as well :)). I finally went and got the manager and she basicallyserved us the whole night. It is the second time we have gotten such a poor service there and we will definitely never go backthere. If you want ok food but to serve yourself, it is the best restaurant for that :) Read more
