I was having a bad headache and famished due to a light lunch by time I arrived at the trendy Terrone on the gastronomy alley of Palo Alto so all I could think of was to carbo load with its wood fired pizza and home made pasta. Less than a year old, Terrone, right beside one of my favorite Japanese joints, Jin Sho, and across the fun Cuban restaurant La Bodeguita Del Medio, is gaining a lot of attention from South Bay diners and rightfully so.

Although the thin crust of the pizza is good, I was not impressed with the flavors of the margherita pizza. Something was amiss. However, I'd definitely come back here for the fresh pasta. After a slice of light tiramisu to end my meal, my headache miraculously disappeared.
