"Gaetano's is the best Italian restaurant in the South Bay. The food is always excellent. The specials are interesting and delicious. The flavor is so intense you find yourself eating too fast because you want to fill your mouth with the fantastic taste. The squash ravioli is out of this world. The pear and gorgonzola salad is a must. The patio setting outside is quiet, clean, and delightful."

"Fantastic place. The calamari is perfectly battered and tender, and the hint of wine in the mussels really make the appetizer memorable; we had to ask for more bread just for that sauce. Handmade pastas are so delicious. We had lasagna, the bolognese and the strozzapreti. They are flavorful, rich and comforting and you can’t stop smiling as you eat them. All the dishes are prepared with great detail. We also had the pana cotta, tiramisu and cheesecake for dessert. The wait staff are friendly and professional. They would be a top contender if there is such a competition. I have no idea why this place doesn’t have a Michelin star; it should."

"Went to the store to purchase fresh coffee beans. Most of the stock was from two or three weeks ago. They do get a fresh shipment every Wednesday, but the barista would not make the effort to locate the new produce. They preferred to refund me my money instead of opening up a fresh bag since it would ruin the experience for other customers. Said I should coordinate with the manager so I can get fresh coffee. Alfred Peet's would be very disappointed with this response, the refund and a customer having to leave without the fresh coffee they are suppose to be selling. Barista needs to be trained to help customers find the freshes coffee and have the best experience. Manager needs to learn how to order and reduce the coffee stock. The over ordering has coffee that is three weeks old on the floor."

"Rascal's is locally famous for their Chinese Chicken Salad. I've been coming to this location for over 20 years, and even used to bring friends. Now I rarely do. It seems that while they are raising their prices, they are lessening the value of what you get. While charging more for your meals, they seem to be be cutting the amount of chicken and other things in their salad, while expanding the amount of cheap lettuce to act as as a filler. I understand that costs go up, but it barely seems like a chicken salad anymore. The cost isn't really worth it and I don't think I'll be back."
