    We came to celebrate a birthday and had a large group. The staff beautifully tended to our needs and served all the food hot and fairly close together. The cocktails were delicious and the wine pour generous. The food was tasty.

    After a long day of running around, my wife and I were in need of some good food. We like downtown Pleasanton as we have always had good experiences at restaurants on Main Street. Pastas Trattoria was no different! We strolled in around 5ish and were seated immedietly. Loved having the option to sit outside. Water and bread were brought to our table to get started. Our waiter took our order promptly and the food came out shortly after. I ordered the Beats salad and a margherita pizza to share. The food is very delicious, fresh and flavorful! The serving sizes are fair and the pricing is reasonable. Overall very satisfied and looking forward to be back.

    Excellent service--kind and attentive. The food was delicious. Just a heads-up: the "Italian Chopped Salad" is a chopped salad topped with grilled salmon--the salmon itself isn't chopped, which I liked.

    My friend and I were attracted to the aesthetic of this restaurant so we decided to give it a try, needless to say we were impressed. The food is quite delicious, the presentation is attractive, and the waitstaff are all very kind and quick. I will be bringing my bf with me the next time we go out (: * i took the tiramisu home with me so it was in the box, it was great *

    Came for lunch on a weekday and it was not busy. The pasta was decent but it did take some time for it to come out. I wish that the pasta was a little more soft. Nonetheless the service here was amazing!

    Girl's Night Out, but make it classy. Dropped in with a friend at 6pm on a Sunday and were immediately seated. The white tablecloth settings and wait staffs apparel lend to a more formal ambience. Since we wanted an excuse to get dressed up and go out, Pastas trattoria definitely met our criteria. The wait staff were available for questions and suggestions, and we each ordered a main course of pasta - the Bolognese and seasonal pumpkin ravioli - with their suggested wine pairings. You should always order pasta when it's in the establishment's name! I appreciate their selection of local and domestic wines, although they also have an extensive imported wine list if your budget is generous. We were both very satisfied with our meals, and the portions were large enough that we had leftovers to bring home. Always a great spot if you're seeking a classy dining experience downtown.

    I went back to Pastas Trattoria, and it's still just as good as the first time. Consistently great food!

    My husband wasn't feeling great so I took the kiddos on an evening date night with mama! We walked around downtown and then came here. It looked fancy, and I def stood out as a person of color amongst the other restaurant patrons. Regardless of this, and not having reservations the lovely hosts seated us, with what seemed to be a disgruntled waiter. He asked if I wanted anything other than water, by the time I was done saying no water is okay he had left...I was getting ready to order. About 5 min later he comes back, and shares they are busy and I should order...I was like umm okay. I ordered butter pasta for my daughter and my son wanted chicken fingers. I got the eggplant Parmesan for myself (and to take to my husband). Over the eggplant was good, the fries and kids pasta were flavorless. I had to flag someone down for salt. Our waiter didn't checking on us once. But he did come and bring us boxes as I was eating which was quite uncomfortable. I ended up packing up the food because it seemed like he was in a rush to get us out. He also forgot to return my CC to me so I had to flag him down and he had to go search for my card. The kids meal comes with a drink and dessert. I had to specifically ask for the drink and the dessert is not friendly for those who have allergies and he said he had nothing else. I wasn't even offered a dessert menu come to think of it. I'm unsure if I would be back. I liked my dish, but the service was off putting. As a mom of two kids, who were extremely well behaved I'm just unsure why we were treated the way we were. Everyone else seems to have a good experience...

    All of the food we had was amazing! The service was just as fantastic we had the butternut squash ravioli, the fall harvest salad, the burrata appetizer.

Even when there were open spaces, you could park there because a vehicle or 2 were well over the parking stall lines. There isnt any street parking in the immediate area, if im not mistaken so arrive with enough time to park somewhere. There is outdoor seating available which was packed full of patrons enjoying their day. The inside has a sleek dark supper room look and vibe to it. The people dining inside were even dressed differently from the outside guests. We had some drinks that were reasonably priced. Not the best mule I've had this year but I cant complain.. We ordered the tuna tacos and crispy calamari for starters. Both were a great start to the evening. The tuna was fresh and the calamari came with a sweet heat sauce that left its mark on us.. my wife regularly orders lamb chops, so in comparison they held up in taste to many places but the portion size wasn't the heartiest. The salmon dish was a homerun and so was the jambalaya. Im a fan of wellingtons so I had to take the opportunity and I wasn't let down. They use a filet so the size cant be too big, realistically. Mashed potatoes and the sauce complimented the steak for a complete all around dish. We finished with a pineapple upside down cake. Dense but not too heavy with a nice sauce and ice cream on top. Very good experience and I didn't catch our waiter's name(an older latin gentleman) but he was very attentive and treated us like all stars. We appreciate the service he gave us and hope that every waiter lives up to the bar he set for us.

The inside is dimly lit and decorated elegantly. I liked the inclusion of honeycombs in the lighting fixtures and even the ice in my drink. The darks and golds almost give Great Gatsby vibes. We all ordered a different cocktail from their signature menu. I got the Electric Nectar. The drink was a little tart and sour. The Buzzed & Bougie was very floral, and The Cusco Comb had a nice balance of flavors. Out of the 3, the Electric Nectar was probably the strongest in terms of tasting the alcohol. I don't particularly prefer sour drinks. If I were to re-order, I would get the Cusco Comb, as it fits my taste profile the most. We also ordered the Burrata to share. It came with 6 pieces of toast, which was perfect and divided evenly among the 3 of us. The burrata was delicious. The cherry gastrique added a nice touch of sweetness without being overly sweet. As time progressed, more and more people came in. By the time we left, the lounge was pretty filled.

I would come back to give them another chance because their whiskey selection was amazing and the Paper Plane was delicious!

It's basically buffalo chicken stuffed in pocket bread. The dishes look great (see pics)! Fish and chips are ok, I found some burnt and dried fries but overall good tartar sauce and a little dry coleslaw. But fish is pretty good. The doozy scoozi is horrible in one word. The cook/chef for some reason drenched chicken in buffalo sauce. To me, it's almost looked like curry chicken. I asked my American wife did you order curry chicken by mistake? Then I tasted from her plate. The buffalo sauce is overpowering so the stuffing becomes inedible! I gave three stars as I like everything else in the restaurant, hospitality, friendliness, the server gave water bowl for our dogs (very nice!). I don't expect much from "American cuisine" (to me it's burger and sandwiches pretty much), but come on drenching chicken in buffalo sauce is a strict no no! If the cook is reading this, please contact me and I will teach you how to make curry chicken! Put that in the bread pocket, it will be your special menu item and I guarantee it will be an instant hit, way better than your version of "doozy scoozi". Anyway, so that summarizes the 3 stars!
