    We made our reservation for 630 the restaurant was very busy and there was not a table available until 710 which was very frustrating because we rushed to get there on time and we’re expecting to sit down at an indoor table at 6:30. We took the first available table which was outside, luckily there were heaters. We did receive apologies for the delay, however a comp app or waived corkage would have been nice or even a glass of wine while we waited.  Our server was great, We may try again but might make it a weekday and not a Saturday since there seem to be some issues with staffing.

    The pasta at Pranzi is fantastic. It's homemade (or so it seems) and tastes extremely fresh. I had the lasagna and it was very tasty. My friends had the spaghetti bolognese and the conchiglie, both were very happy with their dishes. The portion size is good, we all had leftovers. They bring you focaccia bread and oil/balsamic vinegar before your meal as well. The service was great. Great neighborhood spot on Laurel Street in San Carlos.
