Dining Suggestions
Buca di Beppo - 643 Emerson St, Palo Alto, CA.(650) 329 0665
Nondesigner Italian-American. $$. Like a Sicilian Christmas carnival in the '50s, this party spot blends clutter, joy, high spirits and, oh yes, huge portions. Go with several friends.
California Cafe Bar & Grill - Stanford Barn 700 Welch Rd. (650) 325 2233
This venerable Palo Alto favorite continues to serve fresh and inventive California-inspired food such as oysters on the half shell with gazpacho mignonette, Asian chicken salad, grilled sirloin of lamb, and creative pizza and pasta. Inventive desserts close the deal.
Straits Cafe - 3295 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, CA. (650) 494 7168
Singapore exotica. $$. Blending culinary motifs from India, China and Thailand, the food of Singapore is anything but timid. The menu at Straits is lavish and diverse, and desserts are artfully arranged like edible sculptures. Full bar.
Trader Vics - 4269 El Camino Real Palo Alto CA 94306 (650) 849 9800 European. The world-famous Polynesian restaurant and bar
La Bodeguita del Medio - 463 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA. (650) 326 7762 Cuban/Californian. $$$. With more than 30 brands of rum in stock, it's stronger in the bar department than in the kitchen, but among the pleasantries are ahi, lobster bisque and Cuban-style Caesar salad. Closed Sun.
Vero Ristorante Italiano - 530 Bryant St, Palo Alto, CA. (650) 325 8376.
$$. Traditional Italian. Home-made pastas, the Carbonara is a particular favorite. Doting owner who brings dessert wines to choose. Atmosphere was very classy and homey. Highly recommended on yelp.
