Avoid the pasta al Salmone and the Gnocci like the plague. The pasta tastes way too much like stale old salmon while the Gnocci tastes more like floured down potatoes, heavy on the flour. Busy atmosphere and chatty people made it a great place to eat dinner at casually. Would eat here again if they put a little more effort in preparing their pasta dishes.
Pros: Surrounded by preppies and yuppies, napkin quality.
Cons: Seafood, drink prices

How would you know if the food is GOOD from "the pasta to the fish", unless you've TRIED the food from the pasta to the fish? I've had most (not all) everything on their menu. Fetuccin al Salmone and Penne Norcina are my favoites, although the portions are much more than I need. It gets crowded and there isn't much room to move, especially when it's busy, but the atmosphere is fun.
Pros: Food!!!
Cons: Cramped Space, Service isn't the best, but adequate

Whenever I feel too tired to cook and want something affordable but still delicious, I head for PASTA? on University avenue. Especially, their various kinds of sea food pasta are fresh and delicious.

Great little pasta place in downtown Palo Alto. I believe this is actually owned by the same folks as Pasta Pomodoro. But it's good for reasonably fast and tasty italian dishes. There are nicer restaurants, but this is a regular, good place.

I've been here plenty of times and the pasta is delicious! Sometimes the sausage is a tad salty, but, hey, it's sausage. My favorite here is Penne Nucino. It's just the right amount of creme! I also loved the tiramisu here!!! The wine was so-so, and the staff is mostly nice. Some staff members are nicer than others, but that's everywhere. The food comes out slower when it's busy, I've been eating at off-peak times and it's nice to hold privtae conversations! If the staff is no so attentive, the bus boys always are.
Pros: great pasta

I loved Pasta? I have been to all three locations. It is great food and the waiters are friendly. If you love good food, you should eat at Pasta?. I would recomend the Fettucine al salmone, or Pollo Arosto. These are both great dishes. The best thing about Pasta? is teh wine list. Not very expensive, and it always tastes great.
