“Seafood restaurant in Watsonville open relatively late with great serviceRaw oysters ⭐️⭐️: personally not a big fan of the huge oysters because the fishy taste is extra strong. Also these oysters had a lot of grit in them.Clam chowder ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: pretty solid clam chowder. Had a good clam taste while being rich but not too heavy.Clam pasta ⭐️⭐️⭐️: felt like even though there were a lot of clams in the pasta the flavor didn't really come out. Pasta texture was good.Mango mousse cake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: the best thing here and one of the better mango mousses I've had. Surprised at how good it was considering this is a seafood restaurant.“

“Love it, so yummy! Went here a bunch when we first moved to this side of town, then got a little burnt out. Been going again for the last few months, and really happy with it. The La Mañana with spinach and basil is great. I like to add House Spread (flavored mayo?), and sweet jalapeños. The Patch Burrito, Morning Wrap (similar but more veggies), and Hot Messy Pastrami are all great. My mom loves the turkey and avocado sandwich. The Deviled Eggs are on point, great value. (it's just a single half, but it's piled high with filling!)The drinks are legit, too. Sometimes I'll get a banana bread slice for dessert. ?“

“The food and the atmosphere at Pizza Pasta Villa were great. And our server was very nice and friendly. However, we had a very long wait for our food to be served to us. It was unusually long. That was the only downside to our otherwise nice dining experience.“

“Couldn't reserve on Valentine's day, so we ate there on the 15th. The Val-day menu was still available, so we shared the last black truffle pizza, w. a cheese base flecked with small bits of truffle. Then the server shredded truffle slices over the top--OMG--$65 and worth every penny! (Regular pizzas range from $17 to $26.) For starters, we split an arugula salad and a vegetable side (brown butter braised cabbage--even if you hate cabbage, you'll love this). For dessert, we shared the affogato. The chocolate was molded and formed against the side and bottom of the cup, then they poured espresso into the cup. Superb. I said to my husband, "This tastes like Valrhona." You know you have an outstanding server when you ask which brand of chocolate was used. Zach answered, "Valrhona." I use this superb variety for every chocolate dessert I make.“
