50 Best Italian Restaurants near Campbell

“BEsteak.A is an exceptional steakhouse that deserves every bit of its five-star rating. From the moment we stepped in, the service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable staff who made us feel welcomed throughout. The ambiance was enhanced by the soothing music playing in the background, setting a relaxed tone for the evening. I opted for the bone-in New York steak, and I must say, it was a masterpiece. The presentation was unlike any other steakhouse I've been to—the steak arrived perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. What surprised me pleasantly was their unique twist on the starter; instead of the usual bread, we were served a delightful plate of fresh vegetables with a decadent cheese dipping sauce—a refreshing change that set the tone for the meal ahead. The open kitchen concept added to the experience, allowing us to see the skill and dedication of the chefs firsthand. Overall, BEsteak.A not only delivered on taste but also on ambiance, service, and creativity. It's a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.“

“Celebrating my husband's 65th Birthday. Took a excursion today to cool off out of the valley heat and searched out an authentic Italian meal. I ordered the Linguini and fresh Clams with roasted peppers and light cream sauce. The results were delicious with excellent flavor and presentation. Hubby needed his Cavatelli with red gravy as a side dish since he hasn't found anything like this in our area. He also ordered Lasagna as the main course and we were surprised to see a very large portion! The bread, and I am not a bread eater, was heavenly. Hubby claims good Italian bread is like eating cake and I couldn't agree more with him more. I am now a convert! The pasta is homemade, the red gravy is delicious. We will be returning. Thank you for being here for all of us Italian food lovers ❤️“

“I will be back! Staff service and food are exceptional!“

“The best Italian food in San Jose! Service is always very personable, food comes out quickly, and bread, pizza, and pasta are to die for. I don’t know anyone who didn’t think it was one of the best places they’ve tried, and it’s near the movies. I had both of my daughters' birthday parties there.“

“They have to best ravioli. My family has been getting them for over 60 years. I live in texas now, I haven't been there in years, I miss them so much! Most of my family is in Sacramento now and will go to La Villa just to get the ravioli!“

“Great place for corporate events! Our team attended IBASV's bocce ball tournament last week and the food/atmosphere were great!“

“100% recommend, comfort food and great service. Best cannolo I’ve had in San Jose ! The garlic knots are okay, their dough is really nice though. But the chicken with penne was delicious! My fiancé had the veal and he really liked it!“

“We went tonight and had an amazing, affordable meal. I can’t say enough about the service! The staff is friendly, comes across like they genuinely want you there. The food was delicious. I will be back soon!“

“We had excellent service for our large party of 10. Our server, Westin, was wonderful. We were there to celebrate my daughter’s big 30! We all had a wonderful time, food was exceptional and so was the service.“

“My family and I had a great experience. It wasn't busy when we went, so we got seated right away. Our server was attentive and friendly (I wish I remembered her name). We ordered chicken parmigiana and chicken alfredo with all you could eat soup and breadsticks. My son and daughter shared the alfredo and my husband had the chicken parmigiana. I simply had my son's soup 😅. I got to try 2 of the soups and was full after the 2 bowls. For four people, we spent only $56 (tip included) and left feeling full. I thought it was pretty good for a chain restaurant.“

“I love this place I have been going here for years“

“### Palermo Italian Restaurant — 5-Star Review

Had a wonderful experience at Palermo Italian Restaurant! The food was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Everything made for a fantastic meal, and I’d happily come back again. Highly recommended for anyone craving a great Italian dining experience in San Jose!“

“Been going here my whole life. We know the family and are very close. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere.“

“The food here is very good but even better is the service. The staff was very genuine, attentive and quick. Maybe the best service I've had in my life. I'm not in the area often but would definitely go again“

“I have been visiting this place for over a decade and it's consistently a great place to have dinner with family, friends, or co-workers. The food is good. They have lots of vegetarian and vegan options and they are clearly marked on the menu card which makes it so much easier.

The service is friendly and prompt and the best part is they sing a birthday song for you in opera style if you're celebrating a birthday.“

“Friendly staff, romantic place, open late, love their lemon 🍋 drop!“

“Me and my family ended up choosing this place due to its close proximity. The guy who took our order was humbled and nice.

The pizza itself has a nice and flavorful pizza sauce which is sweet, the crust also has a nice crunch to it. The veggies were also delightful.“

“Very good Italian restaurant“

“..finally had a chance to try the new restaurant, wonderful!!“

“Love the food and the atmosphere!“

“Mio Vicino is a Santa Clara institution. Consistently great food. Friendly atmosphere. It’s a Perry family go to place for sure! 😎👍🏼“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Experience! From the moment we walked in tonight, everything about this Italian restaurant was pure magic. The ambience was a great family friendly made even more special by the wonderful gentleman playing the accordion — such an authentic touch that transported us straight to Italy. The service was impeccable - attentive without being intrusive — and every detail was handled with care. And the food… perfection! The Sole was simply divine — light, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Each bite was a reminder of why true Italian cuisine is all about quality and passion. A must-visit for anyone who loves great food, beautiful atmosphere, and genuine hospitality. I can’t wait to return! 🇮🇹🍷✨ Dreamgate Events Birmingham Alabama“

“Delicious food, fabulous staff. A must try“

“My husband wanted Italian for his birthday lunch. We ordered a Locanda salad, polpete, vongole with pasta, lasagna, salmone with puttanesca sauce and vegetables, focacio bread, limoncello pear torte and pana cotta with 3 lattes. The salad came first, nice and refreshing, good dressing. Then the bread, a little dry, nice dipping sauce. The meatballs were flavorful, we took the leftover sauce home. Then the clams, the pasta part was excellent but the clams were not as appealing, no memorable flavor. The salmon was fine but the excellent part were the potatoes, good texture. The lasagna was a favorite, nice melty cheese. The desserts were fun: pear, lemon and a pudding-like pana cotta. The coffee was ok, not as strong as I like. Service was attentive and efficient.“

“Ordered the seafood pasta - normally it comes with wine sauce but I ordered it with the red sauce. Usually they say dont order off the menu but sometimes life is about taking risks. Hey Michael Jackson’s Thriller wasn’t supposed to be released. One bite and I’d say the best seafood pasta I’ve bad in the South Bay Area, in fact miles better than @SamsChowderHouse in Half Moon Bay.“

“Amazing pizza! They have great halal options i def recommend the spicy chicken!“

“Pinsa (Flatbread) and the Mushroom Ravioli were exceptional dishes. Our favorite plates out of the 3 we ordered. We also had the carbonara but there was an after taste that did not sit well. Most likely from the cheese? Service was slightly slow however only the bartender was on shift.“

“This afternoon, we had the pleasure of listening to live music at Gardino's in Los Gatos. The music was wonderful, and the food was absolutely fantastic!

If you haven't had the opportunity to visit, they offer music and/or karaoke every day of the week.“

“One of the best places to have a big party. The banquet rooms are spacious; you can seat up to 160 guests. I’ve hosted 2 events here already - my parents’ 50th anniversary in 2014 and my 50th birthday this year. Easy process to reserve the space & select menu. Great customer service from all staff.“

“The Doppio Zero Pizza will change your life!“

“Teleports you back to Italy with the high quality food and drinks. The owner makes the experience unforgettable and his hospitality is unmatched. The food is straight farm to table and the focaccia is unbelievable. We took some home in our purse for later. Definitely a necessary stop in LG.“

“We ordered food from Al Castello for a birthday party and I couldn't be happier. Our order consisted of: chicken parmesan, vegetable lasagna, salad, bruschetta and canollis. The food was delicious and the price very fair. I highly recommend them!“

“Excellent vibe, nice folks classic cocktails.“

“Good daily special. Friendly staff good food.“

“Some of the best pizza we’ve had in California. And our server was friendly, engaging, and effective! Great experience we’ll be back!!“

“I discovered the place by accident. I was next door inside Michaels having some art pieces custom framed when I decided to look for a place to stop by to eat. I was starving. I was craving for pasta. And thats how I got to discover this place. I ordered the chicken fettucine alfredo. Love the dish with its chunky chicken pieces and al dente pasta. The complimentary cheese sticks with that cheese pimiento cheese spread was a delightful surprise. Next time Ill check their lasagna and clam chowder. I heard their clam chowder is as good as Boulins in San Francisco. I dont have to make a drive to the city to enjoy a good bowl of chowder. The lasagna looks so rich as well as their chopino. Im definitely comjng back.“

“Service with a smile, toppings on toppings on toppings, very kind owners. Enjoyed some pizza and wings, the only thing I would change is the sauce ratio :) I’ll be sure to ask for a lil extra sauce next time. Looking forward to tasting more of Jennie’s Pizza in the future.“

“Delicious! First time there and had a meal on the outside towards the back of restaurant. Had a few different appetizers but I'd say go with the calamari as it's lightly breaded yet had the crunch and the squid soft and easy to eat. Great wine selection. For my main meal was the Filet Mignon dinner special. It was supposed to come with veggies and the meat in truffle sauce. Everything in my order was correct except the sauce on the filet mignon didn't taste nor look like truffle sauce but it looked and tasted more like a balsamic vinegar glaze. It was unique, as it had a vinegar flavor profile which was ok, though I really wanted more of a meaty taste. Dessert was great, had a pistachio cake that was mild in sweetness and more of the nutty flavor. Overall, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me even with the little hiccup.

Parking: When you get to "Little Italy" one side has free parking but that gets full quickly, and the other side has parking meters that was active until 10PM (Yup, the meters are from 9am to 10pm in Little Italy, the rest of San Jose the meters stop operations at 6pm) which of course the parking space on the meters are available during the late afternoons but these spaces are full by 7/8pm.“

“I got the Wrigley and Chicago beef. Great taste. Think it would be better fresh. It smelled really good in there. I seen others plates and it looked really good. Next I'm going to eat in. They also have pacman arcade games for free! Big place 2 sides, bar area. Parking is scarce.“

“The best Italian restaurant in the Bay Area! Fresh outstanding delicious food! Never disappointed with whatever I order! The staff are very professional and so kind and enjoyable atmosphere! Love the pear salad!“

“Excellent take out place. Reasonable prices for the portions.

We ordered through food delivery service and the food came piping hot and nicely packed.

We ordered penne a la vodka with sausage, meat lasagna, caprese salad, and Ceasar salad. Everything was well cooked and tasted delicious. The portions are a good size for the price. The 4 dishes came out to just over $100 with tax, fees, & tip.

Would absolutely order from here again.“

“Just had an incredible lunch at Gumba’s Italian Cuisine! 🍝🍕 From the comforting bowl of soup to the crispy, cheesy pizza and creamy pasta, everything was absolutely delicious. The vibe is so inviting and authentic—definitely a hidden gem for all Italian food lovers! If you’re craving great pizza, pasta, and good vibes, this place is a must-visit. BService was amazing. Waiter ensured that we were well taken care of. Can’t wait to go back! 🇮🇹✨ #ItalianFood #FoodieFinds #GumbasItalianCuisine“

“Very good quality of foods and very friendly personel. I'm often ordering foods from there. One of my favorite take-out kitchens! Recommended

Parking: There is many food delivery restorants and half of parking lots during day were busy by doordashers, but, still many free spots to park.“
