Restaurants Here are a few places. For more information, check the Palo Alto Online listing. Generally good food. Parody of all those Italian restaurants in Boston's North End, etc., with pictures of celebrities on the wall, etc. Noisy and informal.
Dishes are huge so share.
Food is not that great. Caffe Verona 236 Hamilton 326-9942 Coffee place that also serves wine, sandwiches, quiche and salad. California Cafe Contemporary but casual California cuisine with pasta and seafood specials. 325-2233 Not a lot of charm, but reasonable food. Empire Grill 651 Emerson 321-3030 Not great food, but excellent patio seating for a group when weather is good.
