We absolutely love this place and will definitely be back again soon! I had done a search on OpenTable for romantic restaurants in Campbell and when I read the reviews for this place, we booked it for our weekly date night. Among the reviews, I read that the tables are small and the restaurant can feel cramped when it is at full capacity, so I made a point to request a window table and it was lovely. The table was still very small - hence the 4/5 stars for ambiance - but we felt like we had our own little corner of the restaurant for dinner because no one was sitting at the table closest to us. I also read that their gnocchi has been been voted "best in the Bay Area" and it did not disappoint. Big portion, soft texture, and super creamy cheese sauce. I couldn't eat it all so we took some home and reheated it for lunch today. Just as delicious as it was last night! My husband had the Pinot Noir Niner and I had the Amalfi Sunset (mocktail). Both were delightful. For apps, we had the lobster bisque and the beef carpaccio, which melted in our mouths. We used the warm, fresh baked bread they brought to the table to swipe up every last drop of the soup. For his main course, my man had one of the specials, a filet mignon with mashed potatoes, garlic spinach and a side of julienne veggies. It was scrumptious and well worth the price point. For dessert, he had an espresso and I ordered the chocolate mousse, which was light and creamy but honestly my least favorite thing we ate. I should have ordered the vanilla gelato and plan to do so next time. The service was attentive and personable, the noise level was minimal, the lighting was warm and the location was ideal, as we decided to take a stroll around the block after dinner and even popped into the book store across the street to buy a used book before we headed home. If you are looking for a mouth-wateringly fantastic Italian meal in an intimate setting with excellent service, you can't go wrong with this gem!

Your main reason for coming here is to eat world class pasta especially their house made tortellini—every bit as good and even surpassing some of the best you will eat in Italy!!!! Main Con is space is cramped and since food is so good it's always fully occupied so the noise level is unbearable if noise bothers you or almost brushing elbows with noisy folks at other tables. I'd say at least try it, and see if you can get the window table? Or perhaps sitting outside is better.
Jennifer
The waiter was excellent and very attentive especially with the young one that was with us.
joan
The waiters, staff, and the dinner entrees were excellent. Our friends whom we dined with says your place is one of the best restaurants in the area and we agree.
Aaron
Wonderful little restaurant in Campbell. Probably the best gnocchi in the Bay Area (that I know about), soft and pillowy, lots of flavor. The appetizers were also wonderful, we had the wedge salad with ranch and it was chopped so very eatable and plenty of dressing. The polenta appetizer was also super delicious. We got a bottle of amarone which is a rarer bottle, and it was truly delicious. The whole experience was great.
Denise
The food, as always, was excellent. All ordered dishes were prepared and presented with attention to detail. Our only complaint (again) is that it is far too noisy to hold any conversation. Tables are close together, surfaces are hard, and rooms are small. We have visited several times and, as much as we love the food, we are unlikely to return because the noise level has always been too loud.

Everything from seating us early, the food, and especially the service was exemplary. A special shout out to our server, Armando, who went out of his way to make it a memorable dinner. Definitely recommend!
Norman
Appetizer special, carpaccio, lobster bisque, tagliolini salsiccia, salmon, scallops, and tagliolini neri all'aragosta were all fabulous with generous portions. Bring a second stomach. You'll want it!

It's one of my favorite restaurant. I come here to celebrate my birthday every year. Food was delicious and service was excellent.
walked to this hidden local gem early in the evening without realizing how lucky we were to be there. It filled up quickly and was a great dining experience — cozy atmosphere, authentic flavors, and genuinely warm service. Every dish tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and the staff made us feel like regulars. A true Campbell favorite that we’ll definitely be returning to.
Kathy
Always a wonderful experience. The service is excellent and the food consistently outstanding. The wine is reasonably priced for the quality and they make a great cosmo.
Monika
Tonight was our first time at the restaurant, and we will definitely be back. Armando was our server and took great care of us. We ordered the sea bass (amazing) and the scallopini and speck (yum). Cocktails and appetizers were also great. Highly recommend!
David
The food was exceptional, the ambiance was good. It's a small restaurant so tables are quite close together inside. Their homemade pasta was worth several return visits.
Scott
Waiter was fantastic- really knows his stuff and the menu specifics. Great drinks, great wedge salad, great Chilean sea bass. tables are very close together but everything else was great
