Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Los Altos

Second time testing this anchor to the Ladera scene. The pappardelle with lamb ragu is excellent —enjoy the mushrooms and the surprise olives. The pizza is outstanding. Served piping hot but not burned, this is thin-crust pizza at its best. More ingredients on top than a true Napolitan pizza but an excellent compromise between Italian sensibilities and Silicon Valley taste buds.

I hadn’t been to Evvia in years and it was so great to go back. My friend and I shared a bunch of appetizers: meatballs, octopus, roasted beets and the butternut squash. The octopus was fantastic as were the meatballs. We each had a glass of wine and the whole meal was $100. Will definitely do that again.

The food tasted exceptionally well. Nelly and Krinjal, our wait staff took great care of our party of four. Navigated us around our menu choices to pair with the wines we brought. It was an enjoyable dining experience.

We had a lovely dinner, even better than most at Parkside - which is typically very nice. The sole special was fantastic and the rigatoni a la vodka was exceptional. Can't go wrong with the Parkside Manhattan and it was nice to sit by the fireplace on a cold night.
