It must have been a bad night, but the meatballs specials were quite bad. Our wait staff was fabulous.

The Rack of lamb and the filet were undercooked. We ordered both medium rare and they were cooked rare.

This restaurant in Palo Alto has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have had less than satisfactory experiences with overcooked pasta and hidden surcharges on the bill, others have praised the delicious food and excellent service. The menu offers a variety of pasta dishes and antipasti, with a friendly and accommodating wait staff. The ambiance is described as wonderful, and outdoor seating is recommended with a reservation. Overall, the restaurant seems to have its hits and misses, but those who have enjoyed their meals have found it to be the best Italian option in the area.

Food is great but be careful they will charge you a 5% extra for living wages, they justify it by saying it is on the menu so tell them before you order.

Great lamb chops. It pops a lot with some fresh peppers. But the tiramisu was not so good, cream on top was a bit too much and too sweet, plus it tastes weird.

Make sure to make reservations for dinner on weekends, or otherwise end with a long wait. Closed on Monday, I think.
