I've dined at this location three times and I am 0 for 3. The best part of the meals have been the tasty bread and butter. The last time we went the chicken Parmesan was mediocre and the waiter overloaded the dinner salad with black pepper. The rest of our order was screwed up and they brought us three different dishes by three different waiters and it still was not what I ordered. The serving staff seemed a little off, but maybe it was just that night. My other two experiences left me unsatisfied with pizza not cooked enough and food lacking the zest of Italian food.\r

Sorry... I know this is an old favorite spot for many people and it usually has a good crowd. Maybe it's me. I've given this place an honest try. I'm not going back.

My boss and I had an excellent lunch today and left very full and satisfied! Every entree we had was delicious , the service was excellent and the place was very clean and inviting! The mushroom appetizer, chopped salad and chicken parm - highly reccomended! I would suggest this restaurant anytime to anyone! I am sure their pizza is amazing as well. Great place to dine for large parties as well. They also have 4 other locations!!
Pros: Mushroom app - to die for! Excellent Chopped Salad

This place is decent, not great. I really like the pizza but would not go out of my way for it. The pastas are pretty good but a little heavy on the garlic.
Pros: Pizzas
Cons: Pasta More >

I just moved to area in Oct-07 went and got a large cheese pizza there on Valentines day. the service was fast and efficient considering they were packed. I thought $17.00 was a little high for just a large cheese pizza. However I would rate the pizza being a expert on pizza coming from NY I would give it a 3.8 that's 5 being the best. I would try it again.

LOUSY service and a rude waiter ruined the good food and generous serving size. For the high prices charged, one should expect at least moderately good service. There are so many good restaurants in the area. Another waiter/worker cleaned the neighboring table brushing the crumbs aggressively as to allow some of the crumbs to fly on/over my table and startling my child. Could it have been intentional? Over half the tables were empty at that time. Waiter appeared to be encouraging turnover(more tip$ instead of bigger tip$), frequently asking, are you done? when plates obviously still have plenty of food on them. I suggest trying others such as Pasta Pomodoro which has better food, better service, warmer ambience and lower prices.
Pros: large serving size, lots of parking
Cons: poor service, overpriced

This is a good Italian restaurant. if you are looknig for well done pasta's and Italian-American staples, this is it for Mountain View. As far as middle of the road Italian goes, Mountain View is loaded with over-priced and unimpressive places to go. However, if you want good pasta, and you don't have too much cash, its worth venturing off Castro.(don't bother with Pasta?)
I went here for my cousin's 18th birthday and had a lovely time. They have a great room for large parties, and were excellently attentive. Its nothing fancy, but it leaves you feeling good. Get some appetizers, and maybe a pizza, and enjoy. It is a family atmosphere, very relaxed and welcoming.
Pros: great value, friendly atmosphere
Cons: Food is nothing fancy
