   Everything was really fantastic. The food selection and quality and abundance was very impressive and the ambience was great and the service was even better than we expected despite how busy they are. We loved it and will be back.

   Very pleasant experience! The buffet food is much better than the other famous restaurant in Pleasanton downtown.

   Always a consistently enjoyable experience whenever we dine at Pasta's. If I had one point to make it would be the table directly in front of the buffet is a mess to get around and I can't believe the people sitting at the table would be happy. Very inconvenient. But the food was good, the service was good - we sat outside, and it was a perfect dining experience - the weather was great and it was quieter outside than inside. Would recommend and would go again!

   Celebrating another birthday for a dear friend. Oscar is always our server who never disappoints! One of us usually orders a caprese salad and chicken Parmesan and the other the fish of the day. Last night it was halibut! And if course tiramisu for dessert. Delicious!!!

   Having dined at Pasta’s Trattoria MANY times over the past 25+ years, in my reservation I asked for “the quietest table available” and upon arrival we were seated towards the back of dining room - far away from the small bar, open kitchen, and the front dining area which is open to the street. Unfortunately, not long into our dinner a very large group of extremely noisy people were seated within 8 feet of us. They acted as if they were the only guests in a private dining room … standing and/or wandering around while yelling at each other. I barely remember our meal.

   Great lunch today at Pasta’s. I took my 87 year old mom for her birthday and they couldn’t have been nicer to her. They even made adjustments to her meal to suit her diet! What a great group working there!!

   The food here was delicious and servings were large. The fish was fresh, the jumbo prawns were really jumbo and perfectly cooked. The largest tables and the dinner area were not used but it was really busy on a Thursday lunch! Some folks even sat outside. It as sunny but not that warm but most of those tables were filled too. I am looking forward to going back for dinner and with friends. Very nice in busy downtown Pleasanton to get a parking lot space too.

    Not a good experience. Almost 2 hrs for dinner and 80mins to get mains.. No updates from the server. Don't go if you want personal service on a Sat. Yes, it was busy but setting expectations with guests would help and you'd also sell a few more drinks if you bothered to come by the table to check on us.. Not going back again, maybe forever..
