My boyfriend's parents invited my family and I to Pasta Primavera in Walnut Creek for dinner on Sunday. I love this casual place and wish it was in SF. We seem to always end up there whenever we're in the East Bay. :)
Everything at the restaurant is so good, especially the warm bread with tomato, olive oil dipping sauce (YUM!). I would have listed the tiramisu, but they've recently changed their recipe so it's unfortunately not as great as it used to be. :T
My boyfriend always orders the pesto Gorgonzola. It's a large portion of penne pasta and chicken with sun-dried tomatoes drenched in a savory, nutty pesto Gorgonzola sauce. I ordered the seafood linguine pasta in marinara sauce with an abundance of seafood - scallops, shrimp, mussels and calamari. There were big chunks of tomatoes in the sauce that made the dish extra hearty.
The best part of Pasta Primavera is you always have leftovers. They give you plenty, enough for two meals. So, last night, I ate my leftovers for dinner and it was just as good, maybe even better.
The price is excellent too! My dish was $16.95 with a complimentary soup or salad. Delicious food, good service, big portions and affordable. You'd never get all of these factors in one place in SF.
