About Us

Cafe Pro Bono
welcomes you!

Cafe Pro Bono stands as Palo Alto's premier destination for exquisite Italian cuisine. With a legacy spanning over 30 years, we take pride in offering a diverse array of authentic and reasonably priced Italian and European dishes, each crafted with a dedication to freshness that is evident in every bite.

Honored as Palo Alto Weekly's 'Best Italian Restaurant' in 2021, 2022, and 2023, we are deeply grateful for your continued support of Cafe Pro Bono. 

Whether you seek a romantic evening or a casual dinner, our menu features a wide selection of traditional dishes at accessible prices. From beautifully presented appetizers to homemade pastas, daily fresh seafood, quality meats, and indulgent desserts, complemented by expertly crafted cocktails and a thoughtfully curated wine list, we strive to ensure every visit is a memorable culinary experience. 

Consider our Private Event Room for your next rehearsal dinner, birthday celebration, baby shower, family gathering, or business meeting. Our full bar offers a variety of cocktails, including 'O Proof' options, alongside domestic and international wines. We look forward to welcoming you soon to Cafe Pro Bono. 

 Buon Appetito!
