50 Best Italian Restaurants near Cupertino

“My family and I are fans of their services. They offer exceptional halal pizza, perfect for a variety of events. Every time I’ve brought their pizza to an event, it has been a huge hit—guests always rave about it and ask where it’s from. Their customer service is truly outstanding. On one occasion, when my baby was asleep in the car and I couldn’t step out, they kindly brought the pizza directly to my car. Their helpfulness and consideration left a lasting impression.“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“Outstanding food and service. Highly recommend as the best Italian Restuarant in the Bay Area“

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

“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!“

“The seating is wonderfully spacious with a campy charm that feels fun. The staff are welcoming and attentive. Once you park, someone from the restaurant steps in as an honorary crossing guard, helping you cross safely. The complimentary bread was soft, warm, and clearly fresh from the oven. The marinara sauce in the farfalle mafiusa stood out for its bright and fresh tomato flavor. The pansotti was very tasty. The tomato butter sauce in it was rich yet beautifully balanced. The coconut mousse martini was dessert in a glass, but without the heaviness. The chocolate fondant cake was dense, and unapologetically sweet. Would happily come back again!“

“I had an amazing experience at Italico Restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the truffle pasta and wood-fired pizza. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious dishes. Highly recommend!“

“In truth, I recommend Jessica --the front desk-- who makes sure that I receive extra marinara as well as extra sauce Anglaise... for takeout. Until, we talked, I stopped ordering from Terun on principle. I was a frequent client. Takeout customers must be honored for requests that are gladly honored when in the dining room. Takeout customers should be thanked for not causing dirty tablecloths and dishes -- and LOYALTY. Jessica reinstated that loyalty. I truly hope that the owners appreciate her. Without extra sauces the food is too dry. With it, delicious. The prices honor extra sauces and more!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Veal Marsala needs a small taste of the raw Marsala like what my friends Nonna's did. The Seafood pasta didn't have quite as much seafood in it as other 2 Italian places we frequent. Besides that, the flavors were really good. Loved their minestrone. I would have liked to have that in place of the great desserts they have. Darn it, I should have thought to take a quart home!“

“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 ❤️“

“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“

“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 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.“

“The restaurant and bar is small and we were the only dinner patrons at 6:30 pm, but the bar was well populated and a football game was on the TV. As a result it was quite noisy and we asked the waiter to turn down the music. The staff were very friendly and it seemed to have the same ambience as the bar in Cheers. I had a seafood pasta dish and my wife had a chicken breast with a marvelous cream sauce. The food was excellent and the service was prompt. We will go back.“

“Most delicious desert ever!“

“Very good Italian restaurant“

“What a pleasant dining experience. Was greeted at the door by the owner, staff were very attentive and the foods amazing!“

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

“Always a pleasure! Food never disappoints.“

“Gardino's is my go-to restaurant in downtown Los Gatos. Their pastas are amazing - the meat sauce is delicious and the marinara is equally great. I just had their minestrone (vegetable) for the first time and was so pleasantly impressed - house-made with lots of vegetables and just the right amount of ditalini rigati pasta. I had that as part of the ravioli lunch special. Overall a wonderful place for lunch or dinner.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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“

“Amazing Sicilian food, cozy patio and dining experience. Wait staff are welcoming❤️“

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

“What a gem! Service and food were top-notch. The bay scallop amuse bouche was stunning, as well as the swordfish and scallop main course. Restaurant is a little small, with the tables very close to each other, but we were able to hear each other easily in conversation.“

“Love the food and the atmosphere!“

“Pompeii is a wonderful family-owned gem in Los Altos. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the food absolutely delicious. The chicken parmesan, lasagna, and linguine are some of our favs, paired with their fresh homemade bread. You can really taste the care that goes into everything!“

“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!“

“Fantastic service and Delicious food. Our server ( didn’t catch her name ) was awesome. I do remember she had a beautiful accent. I believe when asked she said she was originally from Kenya! Kudos to her for taking such good care of us! We live in San Joaquin Valley but we will definitely make the trip back for dinner!“

“We are visiting from Ohio and had not been to A Bellagio in 10 years. Our experience was fantastic! The atmosphere has been enhanced with the remodeling that has been done. The ambience was lovely. Our server did a great job of making sure we were comfortable at all times and that we had everything we needed. The food was fabulous. We started with the Caesar salad. My husband chose the veal as his entree and I had the filet. Each one was prepared perfectly and the accompanying vegetables cooked to perfection. We each decided to choose the Tiramisu for dessert. The servings were so large that we could have shared one portion. We highly recommend A Bellagio!“

“authentic Calabrese food - molto bene!“

“I went with my friend for lunch and it was so delicious I took my family back two days later. Everybody loved what they ordered, and Aldo’s is going to be our go-to Italian restaurant. The atmosphere is great, and the prices are very reasonable. Everyone was friendly.“

“We've been to one of their other locations, Locanda Sorrento, a few times and love it. We decided to try Locanda Ischia this time. It did not disappoint. It has the same friendly staff, inviting space and fantastic food. Order the Tagliere meat and cheese board to start. It's magnificent.“

“Wonderful evening learning about some great wines that accompanied the menu so well. Ever item was delicious! The cheese board, prosciutto bruschetta, pizza, carbonara and caesar salad were the perfect dishes to share for the table. And we took a few bottles home to enjoy! We can't wait to go back!“

“So glad I stumbled across this gem today! William (cashier) was extremely patient, accommodating, and helpful. We ordered a porchetta sandwich, side of fries, double espresso, burger, and scone. Everything we had was delicious - the porchetta was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had. There isn’t a dedicated kids menu from what I saw, but they provided a high chair and most kids survive off fries, so we were fine. Parking is in a private lot and an easy walk from LPCH or Stanford shopping center. The weather was perfect for their patio dining, and staff were prompt to bring our food and clear tables.“

“Excellent vibe, nice folks classic cocktails.“

“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.“

“Easily one of the best pizzas in Los Altos - perfectly cooked with tons of flavor (and it’s consistently good). For families, they have a kids’ menu with good-sized pasta portions and kid-sized cheese pizzas if you have picky eaters, like one of ours is!“

“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.“

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

“We had a fantastic dinner with a nice private set up outdoors for our friends birthday party 🥳“

“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.“

“Love this place! Gets better every time! Excellent service. Excellent food! Authentic Italian. 🇮🇹🍕☕️“

“Great happy hour ! Nothing beats SF Restaurant HH“

“Good daily special. Friendly staff good food.“
