Our Company
We are a family owned business that started with our Pleasanton restaurant, Girasole Grill, in 1994 and expanded into catering in 1998, taking the name Pampered Palate in 2001. Both operate from our Pleasanton restaurant with the same management team. We call our cuisine ‘Fresh Italian with a California Attitude’, and incorporate a fusion of Asian, Mexican, Southwestern and Caribbean flavors into our menus.
Our management team consists of owner Skip and a kitchen staff that has been with us for years, some since we opened. Our catering staff is separate from the restaurant staff and is professionally trained.
