The gnocchi and pappardelle are absolutely delicious, and the tiramisu is a standout favorite. The appetizers are decent, though the lamb chops have a slightly strong lamb flavor. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place to friends and look forward to coming back!

A good authentic Italian restaurant in San Jose downtown. We ordered veg ravioli, mozzarella appetizer, Tiramisu, grilled fish and lemon cake. The ravioli and mozzarella both were marinara sauce based and waa average. The killer takeaway was the Tiramisu pastry, was a die for dessert. The base...Read More

One of the best Italian restaurants in the Bay area. Everything is great. Favorite appetizers include the mussels, the mozzarella in marinara, and the Calamari. Some of our favorite mains were the pesto gnocchi (so soft!!), and honestly any of the pastas. Some of the...Read More

Excellent service and very tasty pasta especially the first one on their menu. The mista verde salad was fresh. Found the bruschetta bread to be a little hard but was tasty. The lentil soup was comforting. Tiramisu was good! The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor...Read More

The food was tasty and the service was attentive. I ordered the daily specials. For starters it was burrata. The cheese, arugula, and artichoke happened to be my favorite combination, so no doubt this one was perfect. For the main dish I ordered the ink...Read More

The food was good, they use nice quality ingredients. But they don’t have bread? How can a Italian restaurant doesn’t have bread?! The service was good, they try their best to fulfill your needs. The price is a little expensive for the portion of the food, but...Read More

I really enjoyed visiting here! The service was good, and even though it was in a small house, it didn’t feel crowded. As far as I can tell, everything was made in house even down to the mozzarella sticks. They are definitely not those reheated...Read More

Sat outside and had a great server when I was visiting for work. I wish I remember the server’s name because he had great recommendations! The bruschetta wasn’t the best I ever had but the best I had in a while without making it at home....Read More
