The Pastaria & Market was opened in 1995 as a retail pasta shop and deli. Donna grew up within a family of Italian immigrants, and she began her culinary path inspired by her food-obsessed family and her chef grandfather. After some extended classes at the San Francisco Culinary Academy, she gained the conﬁdence to open The Pastaria & Market on Main St in Los Gatos, a retail pasta shop specializing in fresh Italian food. After several months of strong support from the greater community, Donna could sense that changes would become. Her customers challenged her to prepare meals for takeout, asking her to put tables in so they could eat there After 10 months, she relented and a beer and wine license was added, and the fresh pasta shop was transformed into a full-service restaurant. Over the next 2 decades, The Pastaria & Market established itself as a family-run, neighbourhood-focused, family-friendly business, with a strong commitment to the Los Gatos community.

Great server….the first time in a very long time when the server was time conscientious and spaced out the meal/ordering. We enjoyed the entire experience. Glad to see the chicken parmigiana made it over from the original location.

It was great! We had a lovely experience. The food is always outstanding. This is the first time we went since they moved to the larger location. Their other place was quite small, and we used to walk there, always loved it. Hoping they bring lasagna back to the menu, soon. It was my boyfriends favorite at the other location, and he couldn't have it last night. It was OK though, because the food we had was outstanding!

They were very accommodating for our party of 8 with my 93 yo father, moving us indoors as it was 90 degrees outside. Great service. Delicious fresh pastas (a seafood pasta, a bolognese, primavera and primadonna). The 2 salads were also so fresh (Kale and the mixed greens). The best starter were the lamb lollipops with a bit of a spicy kick. Wine selection was fine with 2 nice roses and the F-rozes was refreshing. A really nice find in Los Gatos on a charming street.

Mediocre food (over-salted). Staff better suited to a mall gig or perhaps amusement park summer job. New location feels more like a sports bar than a restaurant. Sorry to say that after many years of enjoying the previous location, it's the end of an era.

Outdoor dining was great, service was very good, food was very good however, our table was directly across a walkway with metal plates for underground access of sorts? so every single time anyone walked by(very frequent ) a Big Bang noise would startle us. 😂 We were desensitized by the end of the meal. I would definitely would recommend Pastaria restaurant but ask to be away from the loud metal plates on sidewalk.

Covid restrictions have seriously impacted the experience here. I love a good outdoor patio, but we were seated in a parklet a half-block away from the restaurant, even with a reservation. There was a complete disconnect between the actual restaurant and the (hopefully) temporary parklets. It had all the charm of a food court. We're all for supporting restaurants who have been unfairly targeted with the restrictions, but I resent paying the same price as the indoor experience for a borderline picnic. We'll be back, when we can move inside.

Seated outside due to Covid - very nice waitress and great food. They had a nice firepit and they quickly turned off the music when we didn't care for it. They really make an effort to make your experience a good one. Will definitely go back. The garlic bread was especially great.

First time out since COVID. The service was slow and the server was delightful and made up for it. Everything is harder now due to the pandemic and we chalked it up to that. The wait staff worked very hard. The food was delicious, so well worth the wait! Compliments to the team in the kitchen.

Love this place! Always consistently good food. Had the Brie and roasted garlic appetizer followed by kale and fennel salad. For our entrees I had the grilled pork chop and my husband choose pasta with a yummy sauce. Nice wine list too. Server was very attentive and prompt. We’ve been here many times and will always come back.

Usually, our favorite dish is delicious! This time the sauce was too salty & not as flavorful. Unusual. Meatballs & kale & fennel salad were delicious! U have to pay for bread now & it’s not the same as at the former location. Wait staff is super friendly & helpful. But the wait staff & hostess are literally running back & forth from kitchen to the outdoor patios. That is a bit stressful vs relaxing, but they are trying to get the food out while hot.

Really enjoyed dining here. Good atmosphere - great menus choices. Ordered the gnocchi and it was the most delicious meal I've had in a long time. Would highly recommend

Service was friendly and very helpful. Setting on the street is not the best as cars are close as they drive by. Food was good but too salty. Overall, a good experience.
