"Other
restaurants that serve only pasta have opened in recent
years on the East and West Coasts but this is the one
I would be happiest to have in my neighborhood.
If Pastas Cafe happens to be in your neighborhood, we
are sorry to say the word is out and you will have to
share it."
-New York Times "Pastas
Cafe's kind of unforced hospitality is impressive.
No wonder Pastas Cafe is a favorite in Pleasanton."
-Valley Times "My
favorite entree was the extremely simple but robust
linguine filleto de pomadora on the lunch menu.
The sauce on the pasta included nuggets of fresh ,sweet
tomatoes,adorned with fresh basil leaves and garlic.This
dish is simplicity at its best,and superb."
-Oakland Tribune "Pastas
Cafe creates its own whimsical world,a world where
exiting decor and pasta,one of the original and eternal
'comfort foods' combine to make you feel happy."

"Pastas Cafe is a direct result
of the discerning pasta lover's demand for the best.One
taste and there is no doubt that these are pasta experts."
-Nightlife Magazine
"Pastas Cafe attracts diners
like moths to a summer porch light.On a recent Friday
night, people crowded a small waiting area brightened
with a wicker couch.
They spilled out the door and onto the sidewalk,where
outdoor tables are available during warm weather....
Pleasanton diners seem to have discovered this restaurant,which
deserves its popular following."
-Valley Times "on
mornings when I wanted to pick up a takeout lunch
that would be the highlight of the day,I would stop
by Pastas Cafe where both the hot pastas and the cold
salads are inventive and made of fresh ingredients."
-Newsday "European
in tempo,Pastas Cafe is cozy and simple. The eatables
are the stars here.Even the decorations shout 'Mangia!'."
-North Shore Today
"Pastas Cafe is the ultimate
home of the real thing.Homemade pasta,wonderful sauces
and magical blends come together here and the prices
are surprisingly moderate."
-Nightlife Magazine
"The real drama here is
in the food.Who wouldn't love the rigatoni with chicken
and fresh spinach in a creamy marinara sauce,the chicken
is tender, the sauce herbaceous,mellow-rich and addictive.
The linguine with mixed seafood fra diavolo features
an impeccable mix of shrimp,clams and mussels in a
bright,zesty tomato sauce.
Simple but so good is the penne with broccoli,garlic
and roasted walnuts,-garlic lover's heaven!"
