I was looking for a place that serves pasta in a parmesan cheese wheel. Found it and had the place bookmarked for a future visit.Finally had a chance to visit recently. We shared several dishes so we can try a bunch of their offerings.Their beet salad was tender and tasty. Served with roasted hazelnuts, some kind of mild cheese crumbled and butter lettuce leaves. Tasty and pretty light.The grilled octopus was the highlight of my meal there. Lightly grilled and oh so tender.The pasta in the cheese wheel was prepared table-side and with a well-practiced flourish. It was creamy (as expected) and worth the wait.The Panna cotta was a lot creamier than was expected. The pieces of fruits were at the height of freshness and just the right amount of ripeness and sweetness to round out the meal.Looking forward to coming back soon!

I organized a team dinner here on a Wednesday night. The team loved the caccio e peppe special which is made table side in the Parmesan wheel. I had the trofie which was hearty and delicious. To start, we had frito misto, arancini, and cheese plate. Portions were huge, prices decent, and service was excellent! We even had one of the owners stop by to check in on our meal. Ambiance was wonderful and allowed us to have a nice intimate dinner and have great conversation.

I recently dined at Italico, and it was fantastic! The ambiance is relaxed yet stylish--perfect for a date night. The service was top-notch, with our server being super friendly and attentive.We kicked things off with the fried pizza dough appetizer, which was light and crispy, topped with prosciutto and creamy straciatella. It was absolutely delicious and had us hooked from the first bite. For mains, the gnocchi with truffle cream sauce was tasty, though the texture was a bit too firm for my liking. The sauce, however, was rich and flavorful. The pizza with nduja spread was a standout, with just the right amount of spice and a crispy, thin crust.Overall, great food, great vibes, and solid service. Definitely recommend!

Came here for a surprise birthday dinner and we had a great time. The food here is amazing. Service was wonderful and they kindly offered to cut the birthday cake. The favorite dishes of the night were the calamari appetizer, flat bread with prosciutt, gnocchi and warm spinach salad. We also ordered the meatballs, which came 3 to an order. They tasted very simple and the sauce was bland so I'd pass on this next time. I was also excited about the arinci but these had a strange after taste. I personally thought they tasted a bit like chlorine. For pasta the gnocchi was a winner, very fluffy and a nice sized portion. I enjoyed ordering several dishes and sharing family style but the entree portions are enough for individual servings. The bread is by request only and the olive oil it came with was very tasty. Overall this place was perfect for a night out and good for large groups.

I had dinner here with a couple of friends and it was my first time. We ordered the San Daniele pizza, paccheri, and the spaghetti di mare. The pasta dishes we ordered were perfectly al dente. The paccheri was a bit salty. The San Daniele pizza was cooked perfectly and was well balanced.The service here was friendly and attentive. The interior has a sophisticated feel with the slightly dim lighting.

Really enjoyed dinner with my friends tonight. I had been there before for some work dinners but this time got to try some new menu items. Fun atmosphere, I don't recommend if you prefer a quiet spot where you want to talk softly (lol). Service was quick and everyone was super nice. Really packed on a weekend night.

Vastly overrated. Something like half of the dishes that are suggested by the Michelin Guide's write-up are missing from the menu today. Appetizers are pricey, the pizzas have barely any protein, and the pastas are rather dry (I've tried the octopus pasta and the paccheri, but seriously, have a look at the pictures of the spaghetti di mare that people have posted here: it's drier than Panda Express chow mein!).

We had reservations for Valentine's weekend. We got seated within 3 minutes of arriving and got drinks shortly after. They had cute heart confetti on the tables & balloons Our food came out very quickly as well. I think the food was bland & exactly per the descriptions.

A solid spot for Italian food in Palo Alto! Got the diavola pizza and spaghetti di mare and split between two people this was more than enough food. The seafood portions were very generous in the pasta, and I appreciated the complimentary bread basket :)Service was great and the interior of the restaurant is very clean and modern. The meal was a little expensive (maybe unsurprisingly), and the restaurant was a little loud when I went, though we were seated next to a large party.Not the best place for a casual dinner or catch up in my opinon, but would return for a nice dinner or occasion!
