Big portions and definitely a great place to take family. They have nice outdoor seating. Their Jambalaya (Creamy Sauce) Pasta and Chicken Cobb Salad were really good!

We tried lemon caper prawns linguine and chicken mushroom marsala penne and we love it! A bit pricey for $24 each but serving is huge and they don’t skimp on sauce. Make sure to dip the bread into the sauce. We couldn’t finish the meal since its a lot so we brought it home. We ate the leftovers for lunch today! Next time we’ll try their red sauce. 😀

I recently enjoyed a delightful lunch at The Great Impasta in Danville, California. The small sandwich combo I ordered, featuring the chicken avocado on French bread, was a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The accompanying artichoke cream soup was a savory delight. The meal also included a refreshing side salad and flavorful pasta. The cozy atmosphere and attentive service added to the overall enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend for a satisfying and tasteful lunch.

I stopped in to have lunch at the end of my route. This was my first experience at the great impasta. I was craving a really good grilled chicken fettuccine Alfredo. They did not disappoint! Once they told me that they make everything from scratch, I knew it would be good! The chicken was juicy and tender! The pasta was delicious and the sauce was better than my Italian grandmothers! But don't tell her that! The only "negative" comment I could give is that there wasn't enough bread to soak up all the Alfredo sauce after I was done with the food! If you order this dish, ask for a straw so you can finish off the sauce when you're done! I will definitely be coming back and bringing my wife next time. I would have saved her a sample, but it was so good and I was so hungry that I ate it all before even thinking about it. Hey, I had to try it first. I wouldn't want her to be disappointed and I know she won't be! Nobody that visits the great impasta has anything to lose! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bellisimo! Ciao!

Dependably great pastas! And the people are always very friendly and customer-oriented. Fed my pasta craving with chicken & artichoke linguine in a garlic-mushroom cream sauce. D-lish!

Felt like a mom & pop local Italian place @ The Livery in Danville. Ordered online after a busy day with the kids and it was ready so fast! I got a text when it was ready for pick up. Friendly staff greated you with a smile. The pasta was warm and delicious. Kids loved the fettucini and ravioli!

Stopped here while working in the area. My chicken Caesar sandwich was delicious. The chicken soup was just as good. My dad had the smoked chicken sandwich with soup and enjoyed it too. We will most likely be back tomorrow lol ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everything was amazing - fresh, hot and delicious! The crowd favorite was the gluten free penne pasta with roasted red pepper sauce . . . you wouldn't even know the pasta was gluten free and the sauce was delicious! Thank you!

Second time ordering here since the start of me working in the livery plaza, and I could not recommend this spot ENOUGH! The staff are warm and welcoming, and will help you navigate the menu if it’s your first time in. The portions are HUGE and the quality is amazing. I’m glad I can visit this place often!

Such a nice little place! We went for lunch there and the food was so delicious. I had the gnocchi with creamy pesto sauce and it was made so well. I definitely recommend this spot.

I ordered the smoked salmon meal and was delighted with its taste. My meal was sizeable - enough for me to have leftovers for the next day. I will definitely order it again!

This place is such a hidden gem! The food is delicious and make for even better leftovers. I came here for lunch with friends since it's the mid-point between where we live and I immediately contemplated whether I want to drive 30 minutes out my way to eat here again (I do).

We just ordered our food to go. Their website is very easy to navigate. The food was ready at the exact time we asked for. Everything was hot, and delicious!! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Ah! What can I say: deliziosaaaaa! Homemade sauces (pink alfredo and creamy pesto my favs) with selection of pastas (gnocchi and spinach ravioli - my fav). One thing to note is there’s no alcoholic beverages available. Lot of options for vegetarians! ❤️ The best find in a long time!!!! Highly highly recommend! P.S: writing this while eating the leftover 😋

Ehhh.... The portions are large i will admit and the lady at the counter seemed friendly but as far as taste its definitely not anything to brag about. I had the Alfredo which was just ok. The place had stuff all over the countertops and table tops, not very tidy. If sitting inside you can see straight into the kitchen and I noticed the guys in there not wearing gloves or anything on their heads to keep hair from falling into your food which I found a small strand in my pasta. The whole restaurant including the kitchen just didnt look super clean. I wouldnt spend $20 on pasta here again.

I placed a catering order for green salad. A simple order and paid for in advance. When I arrived, my order was not ready and had not even been started. There was no apology for not having my order ready. Luckily, a salad doesn’t take long to put together but I was given a bag of lettuce. I have never ordered catering and been given the food in a clear plastic bag. This was $45. So if you are thinking about ordering the green salad that feeds 9-12 people, this is what you get.
