Friendly reliable delicious Italian
Friday, September 08, 2006
I've been here dozens of times, and never recall a time when I wasn't greeted by a genuinely friendly waitress. I don't know how they do it, but they always hire excellent people. The butternut squash ravioli with sage and brown butter sauce is something they would serve you at a fancy Napa restaurant for twice the price and you wouldn't know the difference. So thumbs up to PP for always being so surprisingly good. My only complaint is that their pesto and foccaccio combo, which they always serve at the beginning of a meal, used to taste better - the pesto especially seems to have changed in recipe. Used to have tons of basil but now is mostly oil.
Pros: tasty food, friendly staff, cheap
Cons: restaurant kitchen vents into main dining hall so food smell everywhere
