The Pasta Market in Los Altos

Stopped by for a quick lunch because the other restaurant that we were planning to go had closed. I guess this happened for a good reason 😀They do offer a wide variety of options in the menu. The serving size is pretty big and we probably over ordered a bit but ended up wasting lots of the food.If you are an olive person, the green ones are just amazing. Full of flavor and very tasty.Ordered a veg sandwich and a pasta dish.They also have beer and wines.Overall a great lunch experience. Definitely to be tried if you live nearby nor are in the neighborhood.

I am a PREVIOUS returning customer: I stopped coming because (1) simple requests basically never were considered (light cheese on pizzas) and (2) I got frustrated with the rather rude attitude of some of the front desk employees.The food tastes fresh. The prices are about average for the area.For a meal including pizza 🍕, salad 🥗, and a soda 🥤, I pay between $30 and $40.The pizza dough is pretty thick and I had trouble finishing a medium sized pizza. On the pictures you can see a medium sized pizza and a small sized pizza. Normally, I do not have problems finishing a tasty pizza.Important: You order at a counter and then get the food brought to your table. Soda is available from a fountain and you drink out of a paper cup. This setting is fine for informal meals but maybe not appropriate for a business lunch/dinner or a first date.My negative points are: (1) For an Italian restaurant, I would like to see more pizza choices. (2) Also, I had the same salad (Greek) on several different occasions and the size differed significantly, see pictures. (3) The friendliness of the staff varies a lot and is more on the European side (= not so good). (4) On several occasions, the cutlery was not clean enough and I or my friends had to ask for clean cutlery. (5) For some reason, it never works out when I order light cheese on a pizza, I tried several times to explain that I want less cheese.

So underrated! Such delicious pasta and a cute little shop with other Italian. The meat ravioli is absolutely delightful, with real meat inside!! You can pick your own sauce and fresh pasta. The tiramisu and Caesar salad are also both above average and affordable. The seating is seat yourself and cute white table cloths. So much food I couldn’t finish it all. Good for families, local dates. They need more business it is so delicious

The place was great! Very classic Italian food, no nonsense! The flavours are really delicious. May not be the most visually appealing, but the taste was definitely there!We had the meat ravioli in spicy mushroom sauce, the meat lasagna, Caesar salad, garlic bread and tiramisu! Portions were large, each portion was plenty for 2! The tomato sauce is a big litmus test for me for Italian restaurants, and this tomato sauce was the perfect balance of sweet, tangy and savoury. Never had a spicy mushroom sauce before, but it was delicious. Very hearty, perfect amount of spice, mushrooms were perfectly cooked.Everyone was very nice, service was quick. Will be coming back for sure!

I’ve been a fan of The Pasta Market for many years but I haven’t been there in over 10 years. I was pleased to see the prices were still very affordable and reasonable, and they they had the same great dishes. I got half ravioli and have spaghetti in clam sauce, but it made me sick 🤢. I was in the bathroom all night and I know it was that sauce because that was literally all I had to eat that day. The breadsticks and cheese dip is still on point and I’m not afraid to eat there again but maybe that clam sauce just want right for me.

We came to have a pizza before going to movies. This place was a great choice. I liked everything from the interior to the service and food.The interior is very cozy, spacious and Italian: checked tablecloths, photos of Italian historic places, tiny Venetian balcony in the dining room. The place has plenty of tables, all of them were free when we were there. I appreciated that the tools plates and cups were real, not one-time plastic ones.We ordered a large pizza and some olives, paid around 33 usd. The food arrived quite fast, the pizza was big, a lot of toppings, we managed to eat only half and asked for a box for the rest.The pizza tasted great, olives as well.The service was very friendly and helpful.Overall, the place was great, I will come again.

Tasty pizzas and pastas. Ready made salads. Pleasant, quiet atmosphere which is a good change from the majority of restaurants that stream music. Check out the photos. One of my husbands favorite places to pickup food. Also wait time is short. Bon Appétit

Decently priced, yummy pasta. Had the meat ravioli from the lunch special and I enjoyed it. They had the pasta out pretty quickly as well. Their lunch service is pretty quiet so this is a good spot for a quick lunch.

The meatballs were large and tasty - a great value for the meatball sandwich. Both cashier and manager were gracious and quite helpful. Absolutely recommend!

Great atmosphere good prices you can get a bottle of wine under $20 here and great pasta.I had the spaghetti and meatballs with spicy mushroom sauce.. soGood!Update 10/8: I have to remove a star due to their terrible service today. Granted there were many togo orders but also many staff. Most of the ladies didn’t seem to know or care, and their attitude was don’t-care. Only the tall young guy was attentive but was swamped with orders. I hope the service will improve.
