Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near University South, Palo Alto

Dan R. • December 25, 2016It's in the most amazing space, easily the best iteration of a blue bottle. Possibly the best iteration of a coffee shop. The food is excellent, and (as at any blue bottle), get a NOLA or a cortado.

Mike W. • October 7, 2014Come for pizza, stay for killer Italian cocktails & knock-out starters like Burrata, Chilled Tripe, & Meatballs. Don't miss the Napoletana or Carbonara Pizza and read about it on WinstonWanders below!

Radamantis T. • July 14, 2018The ramen is fantastic, and the kitchen is vibrant and full of life, I was lucky to sit at the bar, great experience, this is like a Ramen place in Japan but in South bay
