12 Best Italian Restaurants in Palo Alto

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“I had an amazing experience at Italico Restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the truffle pasta and wood-fired pizza. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious dishes. Highly recommend!“

“In truth, I recommend Jessica --the front desk-- who makes sure that I receive extra marinara as well as extra sauce Anglaise... for takeout. Until, we talked, I stopped ordering from Terun on principle. I was a frequent client. Takeout customers must be honored for requests that are gladly honored when in the dining room. Takeout customers should be thanked for not causing dirty tablecloths and dishes -- and LOYALTY. Jessica reinstated that loyalty. I truly hope that the owners appreciate her. Without extra sauces the food is too dry. With it, delicious. The prices honor extra sauces and more!“

“Fantastic service and Delicious food. Our server ( didn’t catch her name ) was awesome. I do remember she had a beautiful accent. I believe when asked she said she was originally from Kenya! Kudos to her for taking such good care of us! We live in San Joaquin Valley but we will definitely make the trip back for dinner!“

“Most delicious desert ever!“

“Amazing Sicilian food, cozy patio and dining experience. Wait staff are welcoming❤️“

“Had a wonderful dining experience at Bistro Elan. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, making the meal feel relaxed and enjoyable. A great place for a casual dinner or a special occasion. Looking forward to visiting again.“

“Stanford Childrens' and a broken leg, CAN ONLY be better by a visit to Tootsies Barn on Welch Road, what a treat! Everything there is perfection, from the foamy strong creamy coffee, to the quality and fresh food, to the happiness of a child in pain, enjoying a sugar coated, soft fresh Bomboloni after a medical appointment at LPCH - Please, stop by and enjoy the happiness on your child's face! WORTH IT, Thanks Tootsies Barn, you are an amazing delicious treat!“

“Excellent pizza and service is great!“

“I wish you would open another location outside downtown Palo Alto. Your food is fabulous but too hard for parking!“
