At the intersection of Park Boulevard and Page Mill Road, Caffe Machiavello, owned by Maria Neal, anchors a new neighborhood in a previously industrial part of Palo Alto. Running the restaurant is a family affair, as Maria Neal's husband and all four children help her carry out her dream. Neal’s eldest son works in the kitchen after school, and her husband cooks, works the cash register and plays music on the patio. Neal herself works in the restaurant nearly everyday in all areas of the cafe except the kitchen.
