A 2009 nominee for best pasta in Contra Costa County by Best of the Bay (as seen on KRON 4), Pasta Gondola has been part of Danville since the 1970s. This family-style Italian restaurant offers something for everybody, including an arcade play area for the kids and large menu and bar for the adults. It even has an authentic partial gondola located inside the restaurant. It also books birthday and team parties for kids.
