I'll be honest: I almost drove past this place. Tucked into the Livery & Mercantile in Danville,…read moreThe Great Impasta doesn't scream "look at me" -- but once you sit down and the food starts arriving, you completely forget that. I got the spicy chicken Mexicana -- not what you'd expect from an Italian spot, but they pull it off. The heat builds on you in the best way, and the pasta itself has that fresh, made-today quality that you just can't fake. The cheesy garlic bread was dangerously good -- the kind of thing you tell yourself you'll save for the end and then demolish before the entrée arrives. And the meatballs on the side? Tender, well-seasoned, and substantial. Not an afterthought. The vibe inside is casual and comfortable -- the kind of place where you actually want to linger rather than rush out. Service was warm and unhurried without being slow. This place has been doing its thing since 1992, and you can feel that quiet confidence in every dish.

My dad had the chicken garlic pasta and it was rich in flavor and cooked to al dente perfection. 5/5 Service: Bread was at our table right after we ordered. I drink water very fast and my water cup never went empty. Our server was great! 5/5 We went around 1:20 pm on a thursday and the place was empty other than us. There is limited seating availability, but it was very pretty inside and smells amazing Overall a great place to go if you're craving italian in the Dublin/Pleasanton area!

My friend recommended this place. Since it was my birthday, we decided to give this place a try…read more We went there early, so we were able to be seated right away. The space was neat, simple, and we loved watching a big screen, showing the process of making yummy Korean sweets. They were very kind, and served us some items on the house as it was my special day! The food was also delicious. I ordered spicy beef soup, and it was very filling! Some other Korean places only have small amount of ingredients in it. Here, the bowl was filled with shredded beef and vegetables. My husband and my son ordered Bulgogi and Galbi, and both came sizzling on metal plates, ready to be eaten. We had enough left over to enjoy their food today. I am happy to find a new Korean place for us to come back again.

Came by after seeing such great reviews on Yelp and was excited to try it. We ordered the…read moregalbi-jjim, soy glazed chicken wings, and beef mandu. Before ordering, we asked if the wings could be made boneless since my dad doesn't eat chicken with bones. They told us yes, so we went ahead with that, but when the dish came out, only about 5 pieces were actually boneless. I wish they had clarified that beforehand, because I would've chosen a different dish. Flavor-wise, everything leaned much sweeter than expected. The galbi-jjim in particular was quite sweet, and even the kimchi had a noticeable sweetness that was more than I was used to at other Korean restaurants. Overall, I can see why people may like this place, but it just didn't quite hit for me.

Awesome sandwiches! So glad they're in Pleasanton now I've been a fan since the Danville location…read morefor decades! It's all good! I tried their pick up option online so I could order and pay without waiting. The app even tells when your order is ready. I decided to build my own sandwich and ordered a roast beef and turkey sandwich on Dutch crunch with everything. Picked it up to a friendly greeting and smiles from all of the staff. Took it home to eat and wow this was a huge sandwich and full of ingredients. Unfortunately I noticed quickly it was all turkey and no roast beef. They forgot my meat. I sure hope they get it right next time. I should say that even without my roast beef this was an incredible tasty sandwich. Every bite got better and better. I honestly can say I haven't had a deli sandwich as good as this in a very long time. Probably the best Dutch crunch roll ever and so soft with the perfect amount of crunch and sweetness on top. This sandwich was pure heaven and so big but I was hungry and wanted to go right back for another. Still one of the best sandwiches in the Bay Area and I'm so glad there finally in my hometown of Pleasanton. I'll be back soon and very often I guarantee! It's a must try if you're in the area or even if it's a bit of a drive. Tell em Scotty sent you.

I recommend calling into order at the deli or getting the app for the cafe and picking up. The parking is also pretty tight so if you can grab and go that is the best way to enjoy the meal.

I wanted to showcase my Taiwanese heritage for the dinner and was excited that Mama Lee's was available to cater. It was hard to decide from the variety of their catering menu because so much of it reminded me of my childhood favorites. I ordered the following, and of course it was way too much, but folks were excited to take home leftovers: - Popcorn Chicken - Pork chop egg fried rice - Chicken cutlet egg fried rice - Qua Bao - Veggie Chow Mein - Crispy Fried Tofu Sticks (with garlic dipping sauce and pickled cabbage) - Seasonal Veggie & Mushroom The popcorn chicken, egg fried rice, and veggie chow mein was the kids' favorites, along with the winter melon lemon tea, which David and Marysa threw in for being their first customer in Pleasant Hill. The adults enjoyed everything that was offered, and were excited to try many new dishes for the first time. Overall, the flavors were reminiscent of my memories of eating in Taiwan, and that was a huge plus! Communication was easy, and the day of the event, they sent pics of the food. Not only did they include delivery over $350, the food was brought in piping hot & they helped set up the food. I am excited to work with David and Marysa again for next year's dinner, and I would highly recommend Mama Lee's catering for your next event!!
