History
Established in 1998.
In 1984, Pastas Café restaurant opened its first location in New York and soon spread throughout the North Shore of Long Island. In 1988, we expanded our operation to the West Coast under the name Pasta Primavera. Although we are no longer affiliated with Pasta Primavera, we are responsible for the concept and the creation of the menu. The following year, Pasta Villa of Pleasanton, CA, was opened with our new ideas and recipes designed to delight Americans palate for Italian cuisine. Shortly after, Pastas Café was opened on Main Street, Pleasanton, with again successful results. In 1994, Pastas Café of San Ramon was established as a neighborhood family restaurant. We then ventured into new territory with authentic northern Italian recipes and opened our first restaurant in Danville, CA, under the name of Basil Leaf Café. The idea then expanded to Basil Leaf Panaterria in Livermore, CA, and since 1998, Basil Leaf Café in Chicago.
