I always enjoy dining at this restaurant. Pleasant and attentive staff and excellent food. Definitely my first choice for Italian food in Palo Alto. Among numerous Italian restaurants in town, Cafe Pro Bono stands out for me. Simply outstanding pasta, including one of their signature dishes, Susan’s Downfall, which is not to be missed.

As always, our experience at Pro Bono was delightful. We were greeted warmly and service was attentive without being intrusive. The pasta was simply perfect and the duck confit salad was a rare treat. Desserts and coffees finished off our special outing, all at a very reasonable price. Pro Bono is a true gem!

My husband and I ate there for my birthday. Everybody was attentive and energetic. Food was great and we enjoyed what they offered. Pro Bono will be one of our favorite restaurants in Palo Alto.

Our first visit. Taste and service justified the cost. Unfortunately, neither of us slept well afterwards. Could be the rich food?

The ambiance was very uninteresting. But then the service was extremely slow. It took us 20 mins just to get water and then another 15-20 mins to get have someone take our order for drinks. The place was very busy due to Valentine’s Day but the restaurant should plan for days like this as this is the business they are in, customer service. Lastly, the food (whatever that was available as most items on menu ran out) was horrible tasting. The complimentary bread was cold (how hard is it to toast it). And then the main course was cold and also tasted very weird. I have traveled a lot around the world, not just the US or the bay, and this restaurant really had a very poor experience overall.

Attentive service and delicious food as always. My husband enjoyed the tasty filet (surprisingly had a little gristle) and I had the yummy squid ink pasta with seafood. It was a lovely dining experience. This restaurant will definitely be in our rotation of Friday night dining!
