I just don't get this place. 3/20/2010

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 \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. more

Excellent Italian too many choices! 4/30/2009

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 more

Decent 12/11/2008

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

Frankie Johnnie&Lugi Too Pizza 2/15/2008

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. more

LOUSY service, OVERPRICED - large serving size - go somewhere else 11/21/2007

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 more

Good bet for the price 7/31/2007

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 more

If service and good pasta are important to you, then this isnt the place! 7/20/2007

Took my mom FJL on Saturday afternoon (14th) for her birthday. It was not that crowded nor busy. The back section of the restaurant had no people sitting in it. Had a waitress who seemed nice.,However, after she took our orders, we never saw her again; Never checked on us, filled our drinks etc. After about 20-25 minutes I got up to find someone then another person came over. We then had a male waiter who apparently was the only server in the front section of the restaurant. He was running in many directions without any help. THe pasta was bland and no flavor. MY mom liked her dish, which I am glad. In the past, I always ordered their pizza and was happy with it. I never ate in the restaurant before. A clue could have been that their take out employees have nasty attitudes but I didnt care because I wasnt eating there. Given all my experiences I wont go back. IF service is low on your priority list then you will not be disappointed. Tony and Albas along with Chicago Pizza have awesome pizza and NEVER HAD BAD SERVICE AT EITHER! Pros: my mother liked her veal dish Cons: service, bland pasta, did I mention the poor service more

ok italain food but not my momma's pasta 5/17/2007

Good atmosphere. Service can be inconsistant. Sauces tend to be strong and over spiced, not my momma's pasta. Everyone was pleased but not excited about the food. Pizza was loaded with a lot of "stuff"on it but has no balance, no quality and looses the meaning of a true italian pizza. Wine list was clearly an after thought. I will be sending my friends to Palo Alto for great Italain food. Pros: atmosphere, service with the right person Cons: pizza, wine list, parking more
