Really excellent pasta. I typically shop at the San Rafael store. All the pastas I've had from here…read moreover the last few years are very very good (and fairly priced). Love the fresh bucatini and the Nettle pasta was just superb. Sauces are super rich and flavorful - a big difference from sauces we make at home. Just recently tried the Tiramisu with fresh strawberries and it was killer - very different than any kind of Tiramisu I've ever had, not sweet, more like a zabaglione: a 10/10. Tony knows his stuff.

I first found Mill Valley Pasta company at the farmers market a few years ago. I went into the…read morestore this week and had such an amazing experience. Angela was super knowledgeable and friendly. Not only did she help me with everything that I needed, she offered to ship the pasta to my family for their birthday. The selecting of things in the store is incredible. They carry everything to make an entire meal. Everything from imported chocolates from Italy, seasoning and sauces, this place has it all! I bought the short rib ragu and was able to make dinner in less than an hour. I paired it with the Mafaldine pasta.

"Ready Made" in the Cooler/freezer sauces, Pasta and cheeses! Um okay- I didn't know this level of dinner was available here. I only got a box of dried pasta in the cutest ruffles to try. Some Christmas presents and a unique bottle of Vinegar. The vibe is chill and kinda busy if the guy dropping off fresh product is there. But overall warm and welcoming. Definitely will go back to get sauce etc. they even carry the BEST Bellwether Farms Ricotta! So much good stuff and had no idea there was this whole sauce pasta cheeses additions available. I literal thought this was just dried pasta with Mill Valley name on it. I will have to return try the sauces! Definitely check them out for something different for dinner and you are low on time!

Unfortunately when I was seated, I saw that the menu in person had higher prices than the online menu, and an additional 4% surcharge that was not mentioned at all. I'm never happy to see unexpected price increases and charges. I'm also seeing reviews from several months ago complaining about the same thing and the owner aggressively defends this practice. Clearly this isn't just a case of forgetting to update the online menu. It's a bait and switch tactic.

The last time I ordered the halibut special the meat was very dry with lots of visible veins in it. Really good quality halibut has better texture and isn't loaded with veins. I wonder if they purchase the scraps of lower quality halibut species to pinch pennies? Clearly quality is not up there. Similar quality issues with their standard pasta and seafood dishes most of the time. Execution issues include over cooking seafood and very bland sauces. Pastas often get overcooked as well. While the service and atmosphere are okay, the food isn't up to par at this point.

Their…read morecolorful gelato display immediately caught my eye, but what I really needed at that moment was a good café latte, so we decided to walk in. While I waited for my latte, I took a look around. The restaurant has a long, clean, and comfortable dining area, and the menu offers a nice variety of Italian food, with plenty of pizza choices. The young man making my latte was friendly and quick with a joke, and we shared a couple of laughs while he prepared my drink. The latte itself had a rich coffee flavor without being too strong or bitter, just the way I like it. We somehow managed to resist the gelato and the extra calories this time, although a few of the flavors looked very tempting! Overall, it was a pleasant first stop with good coffee, a comfortable atmosphere, and friendly service. Next time we're in the neighborhood, we'll have to return and investigate that gelato a little more closely.

Service was welcoming and friendly, and the owners (wife is front of the house, husband is chef) are so hospitable and cordial. We are definitely returning!

The food was just ok. We had the panzanella salad, carpaccio, papardelle, gnocchi, panna cotta, chocolate cake and a bottle of wine. Over $300. The salad was the best dish. Not only did the waiter take close to an hour to take our entree orders, but by the time the waiter finally brought the Parmesan cheese for my pasta after waiting at least 15 minutes for it, my pasta was cold. Had asked for more focaccia which took a good 20 minutes to receive. Looking back at the menu now, I realize both our orders of papardelle did not have any shiitake mushrooms in it. Mentioned to the waiter it was a birthday but he never paid it any mind, even after ordering two desserts. I definitely will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant, but I'm happy others have had a good experience.

Neighborhood gem!…read more Lovely small business downtown. Parking can be tricky but it's worth it. The premade bento boxes, sushi, and onigiri are worth coming before lunchtime to ensure you get the tastiest most popular picks but if you cannot manage it, afternoon options are still worth it. The little store also has your favorite Japanese beverages, snacks, ice creams, and mochi. The shelves have a variety of ramen which my husband of course has to pick his favorites and some new to him options. He picked a wafer filled green tea ice cream that I wanted to taste but accidentally ate the entire thing so we I'll be back. Oh completely random - they have kimchi. I buy the white one here (we already have the red one and cucumber and radish plant ones at home) I love this store for their bentos, onigiri, mochi, and getting Asian grocery items I use for everyday meals. Check it out!
