The Great Impasta — Restaurant in Danville

Don’t waste your time or money! Their prices were on the high side previous to the pandemic and they are even higher now, for the same mediocre service and food.The prices on the menu’s posted online are not the prices you get charged when you pay for your food. Online a quart of soup is posted as $10.95 when in fact it’s $16.99. That is very sneaky to post one price and charge another, thinking the customer won’t notice they are paying more than the posted prices. They have raised their prices on the quart of soup to $16.99! Excuse me?? I can make a whole pot of soup for less. The last time I ordered a quart of the tomato/carrot/barley soup, it had less than a 1/4 cup of chewable substance, the rest was just tomato broth. They say their soups are homemade, but it’s interesting that I have ordered soup from another restaurant and it tasted exactly the same, which leads me to believe the soup comes in from a company such as Sysco. It’s so disappointing to see a restaurant I have been going to for years, decline after ownership change. The previous owners served great food and offered amazing customer service. If you don’t enjoy what you do for a living, may I suggest you find a different occupation. These owners are more concerned with taking time off than building their customers. Their customer service has totally gone by the wayside. I asked to speak to the owner a couple weeks ago and he never called. Today I encountered him in the parking lot and asked him why he never returned my call. He first gave me the excuse he hadn’t been working too much, then he said they go over and above to accommodate me?? Must be tough to toss a Caesar salad, which by the way, the lettuce needs to be stored in an air-tight container so the edges of the romaine doesn’t get brown rust marks on it, light on the dressing, heavy on the croutons and a quart of soup for which they charge in excess of $30+. With all the other fabulous restaurants in San Ramon and Danville, compared to this one, don’t waste your time or money. If you’re looking for a restaurant that serves good, fresh Italian food, take a short drive to Dublin and go to Frankie, Johnny and Luigi’s, you will thank me later! I won’t be returning, so no need to accommodate me, as you...

I first came here because I thought the name was funny. So so so so glad I did! boyfriend and I had date night every week, and he always wanted this place. I said we should try other Italian places, as we'd go here every other date night. we tried a bunch of other places, but they honestly just couldn't compare. this soon became the only Italian place for us, and we both love Italian lol. it's not exactly cheap, but not too expensive either; he and I would both have a full meal of leftovers because the portions are pretty big, so we're happy with the price for sure. they aren't open super late or every day, so we'd make sure to plan our meals around when they're open and we can come here on an...

My Italian mother in law would say it's not authentic to indulge your guest with so much cheese and sauce and spices. All of her children would ignore her cautions and fill their bellies to bursting. She would however approve of the large portions.

More home made sauces than any other Italian restaurant and all available to take home along with fresh chilled pastas and many soups and salads to choose from.

They are hampered by a small location with limited indoor dining space but have additional outdoor seating. They do a brisk to go business with high quality ingredients to supplement your own dinner preparations.

Prices are on the high side but justified by the food...
