I had an Italian great aunt who would make pasta dishes that made you feel like you were standing in a tiny kitchen in Genoa while your family members were cooking pots of pasta and the most amazing sauces. The pasta and sauces from Mill Valley Pasta literally gives me the same feels. I have never felt nostalgic before eating pasta, but holy moly, I was almost teary while eating my porcini pasta with short rib sauce that made me think I had died and gone to food heaven. I bought multiple pastas and the baked lobster risotto which I cannot wait to try. I wanted to buy everything in the shop because everything looked amazing. The owner is also one of the nicest humans ever and very helpful with helping you decide what to purchase. Everyone needs to check out Mill Valley Pasta, you won't be disappointed.

It's a pretty small spot, but if you make a reservation, you should not have a problem being seated. We were there during a regular weekend time for lunch, and there were two servers covering the entire restaurant. They appeared to share duties and both were equally attentive and helpful to us as we enjoyed our meal. They quickly brought kids, menus and coloring supplies as well as let us place in order for the kids first. We were very surprised that the Shirley Temple came in a very large glass. The bread was nice and warm and very fresh and the butter was room temperature, which is always the best. We loved the covered outdoor seating, which is a great way to get fresh air and still be protected from the elements. There were so many things on the menu that we wanted to try that we will definitely be back. Parking can be a challenge in downtown Larkspur, but we had arrived early and were able to secure parking, reasonably within walking distance. Overall, the experience was really great and definitely worth the value. We all enjoyed our food, though we did have to send back one of the pizzas because the sausage was raw in the middle. They were very professional about it and remade the pizza very quickly. We enjoyed the food, the service, and the ambience. Highly recommend for anyone in the area.

I am in love with this area, it…read morefeels like I'm back in summer camp with the towering trees and the ease of stargazing in the night sky, there's little light pollution in the. My husband and I decided to give this spot a try after getting many rave reviews not only on yelp but on Eater SF (or maybe it was SFGate?). Anyway, we arrived around an hour before close, most places in this area close at 9pm btw. We were greeted by the host who walked in from near the kitchen area. We decided to sit outdoors since the weather was pleasant. We found a table for two near the projector showing a muted black and white film on the brick wall. The chairs had blankets over them just in case it gets chilly at night. It was very thoughtful. I decided to order their special 3 course meal including a white wine ($45!). It was like they had their own restaurant week specials like SF but I don't believe that exists in Marin. The 3 course meal included a beet salad, pasta (it was the screw shaped kind) with Bolognese and a tiramisu which was my fav of all 3. The white wine was a bit on the sweet side. My husband had the pappardelle pasta with oxtail. That was a treat! I liked his dish more than mine but all of it was so much we had to take half home! The complimentary focaccia really pushed us over the edge. I would definitely come back to try their pizzas!

The grab and go section up front with fresh pastas, sauces, and other items to take home is on point. To start, we had the spicy cauliflower with pesto rosa and pumpkin seeds, which was a great dish to kick things off. The staff mentioned there are a few staples on the menu, but a lot of it rotates regularly, which is always nice to see. They also have a really solid wine selection. For pastas, we tried the lasagna du jour with pork sugo and the mafaldine with beef cheek and mushrooms. Both were very good, but the mafaldine was the standout for me. Really rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. On top of the food, the service was excellent. We were checked on regularly, and the staff genuinely seemed happy to be there, which always makes a difference. Really enjoyed the experience overall and this will definitely make its way into our neighborhood rotation not only for dine in but for grab and go items as well.

I came here for lunch to try the meatball parm sandwich. I would give it a 8.5/10. The sandwich…read moreoverall is good, however it does need a little more sauce. The meatballs are thick which I like, but since theres a lack of sauce and the meatballs are a little more bland, the flavor gets lost. If they added a little more sauce or had sauce on the side, it would be a 10/10. For $16 and being able to sit down, I would say it's worth it! I came here last week for their truffle pasta. It was a good, but there was not a specific flavor that stood out. I would give it a 8/10. For me, I need something to pop if there aren't a lot of ingredients. However, it was still good and my girlfriend actually disagrees with me. She said she likes how it's classic, not overwhelming with flavor. We agreed how we would not get the garlic bread. Nothing special, the bread was good but definitely needed some marinara sauce on the side. Anyway, I say come over and try it out!

Amelia made everything super easy from the start: she sent a menu survey ahead of time, was really accommodating with a time and headcount change, and was overall just great to work with. The dinner itself was amazing. The space feels semi-private (tucked behind the pasta case), which made it perfect for our group of 9. The table itself was gorgeously set with candles, flowers, and all the little details that made it feel really special. They even customized the menus to say "Happy Birthday Taylor," which was such a fun touch. The food was incredible, and there was SO much of it, no one left hungry. The wine was flowing, the vibes were perfect, and our servers were great. It felt special without being stuffy at all. They also sent us home with fresh pasta, which was the cherry on top. Everyone had the best time, and I would 100% do this again. Heads up, this is only available at the Mission location. I literally live one block from the Clement location, but this was SOOO worth the trip.

Best Experience I've Ever Had at a Restaurant…read more Today is one of the most important days of my life--I got married. I chose to celebrate this special moment with my wife and my daughter at Melo's in Walnut Creek, and I will never forget how they treated us. From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond. The service was not just professional--it was genuinely kind, warm, and full of heart. They made us feel like family. What truly touched me is that they refused to charge us for our meal. In a world where everything is business, this level of generosity and humanity is rare. It wasn't just about the food (which was amazing, by the way), it was about the way they made us feel on a day that means everything to me. To the entire team at Melo's: thank you for making our wedding day even more special. You didn't just serve us food--you gave us a memory we will carry for the rest of our lives. If you're thinking about where to eat in Walnut Creek, don't think twice. This place is not just a restaurant--it's a place with heart.

The $14.99 sandwich was pre-cut and full of thick pieces of steak. There was a ton of arugula and pickled red onion. This was a very good homemade tasting sandwich of great quality. The market itself is pretty low key, very dense and small. It has everything you need but it doesn't have the produce that I would normally get at a Whole Foods or Good Earth. The service was good and it was very convenient to go to. We will definitely come back to get sandwiches here whenever we have a picnic nearby. It was convenient. The redwood park nearby did not disappoint.
