"Food: Nice pasta, I got the buckwheat papardelle with mushrooms instead of chicken. Sauce was good, I think their recipe for the buckwheat could be modified a bit as it was overly firm. My husband got the fettuccine Bolognese and loved it. They had really great fresh bread. We were eating around 3:30 pm so the bread came a little after our food did. Location: They have a very nice patio right in downtown Palo Alto. Service: The service was average, nothing to write home about."
