I promised to write up both when I went to Campo, but I've been focusing on the new Chinese places. Figo was quite a bust for me, but I was there first week and we all know how that can go.
A _LOT_ of new openings right now in greater Palo Alto - Steam, Tacolicious, Figo, Campo, this Terrone.
Speaking of Pizza, I talked to the guys at Vesta, they said they seat people who are sensitive to noise in the back patio. They've talked to some contractors and are struggling with how to cost effectively damp the sound while retaining the original character of the room. It's a _gorgeous_ period room with old tile, classic proportions, the quote was "we didn't spend half a million redoing this building to cover it over with drapes". Our strategy is go on the late side when it's emptying out, because GF doesn't like drafty outdoor patios even with the best heaters; so it's our call at about 9pm. Their pizza is still boss and they're in heavy rotation at our house.
