    Bella Luna, I'd rate you higher if you were still open and if you didn't suddenly close on us. I miss my old friend Aziz and his generous glasses of wine....read more

Serving Cal-Ital favorites in Palo Alto.

The Food
Prices are fair (maybe a bit high at lunch given all the competition), portions are generous, and presentations are appealing. Top honors go to the simple insalata Bella Luna of baby arugula and other pungent greens dressed with a balanced balsamic vinaigrette, the pansotti filled with spinach and ricotta in a buttery sage and tomato sauce, and a rustic fusilli dotted with tomato, capers and black olives.

The Scene
Opened in March, 1999, Matt Demirkol's new outpost of Northern Italian greatest hits has made steady progress. Service was fumbling and tentative at the start and pastas were uneven. The only thing unimpeachable was the decor--lush blues and mustards, the intimate dining room was luminous with delicate stained-glass crescent moons and sparkling front windows thrown open to University Avenue. Since then, the waitstaff has come up to speed and the menu of Cal-Ital favorites is more in hand.
