Always a great time at Cafe Pro Bono. Owner Akif makes us feel like family, welcoming guests with hugs and enthusiasm. Food is consistently delicious Italian cuisine. The grilled chicken is amazing!! Service is attentive but not intrusive. I highly recommend Cafe Pro Bono for a celebratory lunch, an intimate dinner with friends, or a date night.

We came here with our 10 month old grandson and our son and his wife. Everyone was so kind and wonderful. The food was delicious. I had the linguine with clams and it was so flavorful. My husband had the steak and it was outstanding. My son had the Pasta pro bono and my daughter-in-law had the spicy rigatoni. Everything was excellent.

We got the rigatoni, pomodoro, and Susan's downfall. Everything was absolutely amazing, especially the Susan's Downfall. The service and everything was fantastic as well. Would definitely recommend dining here.

We were kind of an afterthought for our waiter. Also, we put down “anniversary“ for our special occasion, yet the waiter never mentioned it.

Another al fresco meal at Cafe Pro Bono. In addition to our frequent choice of the burrata appetizer, this time we tried the Pasta alla Diavola. Great choice to which we’ll definitely return. Owner Akif and waitstaff Mamet, Sammy and Rocco were, as always, wonderfully welcoming. How gratifying it is to have Cafe Pro Bono as our go-to Palo Alto restaurant!
