W have…read morealways enjoyed coming to Pasta Market - our favorite was the one in Palo Alto where they had a glass partition where my kids could be the pizza being made! Anyway, this restaurant is a favorite of my youngest son. The staff are alway very friendly and helpful. They are patient with him as he has slow speech. The pasta is pretty good. We love the bread sticks here. They come with a cream cheese based "butter" that is so good especially with the hot bread sticks. The chicken caesar salad is also a favorite. The portions are large and easily shared by 2. You can also buy the bread and cream cheese butter to take home. We used to buy the bread and bake it at home for my son but it's always better at the restaurant! They do sell fresh pasta and sauces that you can buy to make it at home. There's also a soda fountain machine that is a self service area for your drinks. We enjoy coming to Pasta Market and also help the local community restaurants in our area.

Our waiter was Octavio, who, like his expertly holy name suggests, was an amazing waiter with a big smile. Every dish we ordered, from simple bread to Linguine Mare Chiaro was surperb. Their affogato is quite a spectacle, something everyone (except no-caffeine enthusiasts) should try. All in all, I hope everyone visits this place to experience the same experience we had.

Pretty good-- but not my favorite Italian spot in the area at this price point…read more For starters, we ordered the bread and carpaccio. The bread was warm and fresh, and so was the carpaccio. I would 100% order both again. For mains, I ordered the ravioli lucana, which was probably the best dish anyone at the table tried. It was the perfect level of spiciness, and had a lot of garlic. I ate the leftovers for lunch today and they were still delicious:) A couple others in our group ordered the rigatoni alla vodka, which I really did not like at all. I've had it at several other Italian spots, and it's usually one of my favorite dishes, but I was shocked at how much I disliked it. That was a bummer... The martinis here are crisp, cold, and delicious! I also tried their version of a Moscow mule with elderflower, and it was great. I'm obsessed with crushed ice, and they had the perfect crushed ice in their mule! For dessert, the chocolate lava cake was great. I did not love the caramel gelato but I'm not a huge caramel fan, so a little biased there. The restaurant itself is beautiful, vibrant, and full. I loved the overall vibe. Service was also great all around.

I have to agree with a 3 star review from a year ago. Food:…read moreBread was good everything else was lost in the sauce. Service we were greeted and seated promptly. Once the food arrived there was no follow up. We had to flag another server down for some condiments I really wanted to like this restaurant because the outdoor seating is inviting However I was sad that my out of town guest ate little and refused a take home container my pesto and salmon pasta was too heavy on the dairy and the salmon was not fresh it had that stale salmon strong taste., which I decided to bring home for my pet. I had a Sicilian coworker who was passionate about Sicilian food. Unfortunately the food here lacked passion. It failed to deliver for us. I would not bring out of town guests here unless you've had a previous experience with the food on par with the higher reviews. I'm sorry that I had to rate this as such.

We had a wonderful experience as a party of 3; Amelia kindly greeted us at the door with menus, and…read morethe way it works is that you get a moment to decide on dishes while the hostess gets your table ready, and you order before walking through the beautiful naturally-lit, high-ceiling restaurant to sit. Amelia recommended one pasta dish per person in the party, to share family style (which ended up working well for us, since we also got three appetizers, and finished the meal with a small amount of yummy leftovers for tomorrow) so that's what we did, along with the starters... We got the "big juicy meatballs with tomato and pancetta," which were incredible; the bread was delicious and certainly is not just a side to the amazing (definitely juicy) herbed tender meatballs. I'd definitely get this again, along with the grilled zucchini with worm salt and mint, which was so flavorful and tasty. We also got the smokey romano beans with fire roasted tomato, which was also really good but just keep in mind the emphasis on the smokey flavor! It wasn't my cup of tea but that's for sure a personal thing. For pastas, I'd rank them in this order: 1. our favorite was today's lasagna du jour, which was mushroom! So delicious, with a crispy cheesy crust, soft tender interior, and an almost caramelized tomato sauce accompanying. 2. Reginette with pork sugo (meat sauce) and spicy turnip greens was next, which had wonderful flavor with the tomato-based sauce and pieces of pork but if you like it slightly softer texture it might not be for you (same with the fusilli; the go-to preparation is aldente!). 3. Fusilli alla vodka with tomato, calabrian chili, cream, basil, and added garlic butter shrimps; this one's sauce felt a little underwhelming and more watery than creamy, and I'm just now realizing that although the menu said four garlic butter shrimp (an extra $7), we only got three. I think I'd come back for the lasagna and/or to buy the pasta from their expansive stock, cook it a bit longer, and serve it covered in a decadent creamy sauce.

The breadsticks were also good with a soft, slightly springy texture that had a nice bite to it. My favorite dish out of everything was the chicken angel hair pomodori.

You can buy fresh varieties of pasta and lots of options of sauces (cook within 2-3 days though, it's fresh) to cook at home or eat there bistro style! There's a counter and a few bistro tables/chairs outside so limited seating. This time I bought the rabbit sugo (lightly orangey) and pesto (fresh and bright) and loved them both. My go to sauce is usually the boars sauce that goes with the agnolotti (sorry words, I lost you), but you can't go wrong. If you dine in, you must try the mushroom tagliatelle. There people there are super knowledgeable and helpful if you need to make a decision when there's too many good options. PS - double check address !! There's two Belottis :)

Anchovy pasta had good flavor and fortunately wasn't too salty, as anchovy pastas tend to run the risk of. But the bottom of the bowl had about a 1/3 cup of oil left. Basically so much oil that the sauce had separated. It was off-putting. I felt like it was some kind of college student takeout food. Which is fine, just price it accordingly. IMO this is too pricey for what you get. And not worth the calories.
