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, Good Accommodations, Good Service!“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

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

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

“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 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!“

“The service here alone made this place worth it. Felt seen, heard, and received constant check-ins and recommendations. The food we ordered (lasagna and fettuccine w/chicken) came within about 10 minutes of ordering and was delicious. Well sized portions. Plenty of options even for picky eaters. Nice hole in the wall type place with a fancy upscale feel.“

“Makes me wish I lived in San Jose. Excellent service, great products, and the Chris Combo is indeed amazing. Can't recommend this place enough.“

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

“Excellent food! Highly recommend this restaurant. The waiter was friendly as were all the staff. We will definitely be back!❤️“

“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!“

“Such a delicious food and let's not forget the attention to detail with what you are being served.“

“A hidden gem nestled in Silicon Valley’s history.

Vina Enoteca is one of those rare restaurants where everything—from the food to the atmosphere—feels intentional and quietly extraordinary. Housed in the beautifully restored Stanford Barn, the space itself is stunning: high arched ceilings, warm brick walls, and an open kitchen where you can actually watch fresh pasta being made by hand.

The menu is classic Italian but elevated. We tried the spinach tagliatelle with ragù and the burrata with seasonal vegetables—every bite was rich with flavor and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The wine list is equally impressive, with thoughtful regional pairings that feel more curated than trendy.

Service was warm but unintrusive. You can tell this team takes hospitality seriously without being overly formal.

Bonus points for the market inside the restaurant! We left with a bag full of fresh pasta, house-made sauces, and a bottle of wine we’d sampled during dinner. It’s rare to find a place that does dine-in and take-home this well.

Highly recommend for a date night, small group dinner, or even just grabbing a bottle and a pizza to go. Palo Alto is lucky to have this spot.“

“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 ❤️“

“Always a pleasure! Food never disappoints.“

“A fun place for dinner. 10 stars for the excellent, timely, responsive friendly service. It's right next to the train tracks, so it's loud when the trains honk their horns (we sat outside - you won't hear it if you dine inside). But the patio is full - so clearly no one minds the train horns. A great selection of food and drink options.“

“They have happy hour through 6pm daily which is good to know. Cocktails were good as well the pizza. The only we had is the clams linguine came in red sauce instead of white, server said he didn't hear it, realized he didn't even repeat the order or the option, was giving it a try even we hate seafood pasta in red sauce, just like you are having red wine with seafood. Pasta was over cooked and salty. The clams were fresh. Waited a while for bill even the restaurant was only 1/3 full. Not a pleasant visit compared to last time during thanksgiving. It was full house but service was quick and food was flawless.“

“The Doppio Zero Pizza will change your life!“

“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.“

“The calamari and sauce is wonderful.
Carbonara is very tasty as well the sauce is rich.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the chicken w artichoke but everything was well cooked.
Nice service.
The dining area can get a bit loud when it fills up but eh ?‍♂️“

“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!“

“Very good Italian restaurant“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“A nice restaurant with a local clientele. We had dinner on a weekday night and saw several regular customers enjoying their meals with no rush to leave. Our meals were good value, well prepared and quite filling. The restaurant has clearly been here for some time with happy diners.“

“Fantastic meal made with care and attention to detail. Fresh ingredients from the farmer's market. Desserts made in the restaurant (normally not done because restaurants otherwise lose money on desserts), even the ice cream. The restaurant is small so they can keep track of everyone and not run their kitchen as an assembly line. The customers are mostly regulars.“

“Classic Stanford spot, I’ve been going here for a long time. I think it is only open for breakfast and lunch, but I’ve only gone for lunch. The food is good, with a variety of offerings; I get the sandwiches/paninis. The best part is the sitting outside, where they offer umbrellas. The service is super friendly. There is a lot of parking too which is great!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access“

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

“Woah! I’ve lived in San Jose a long time. How did I not know about Torino Panino? I’d never even heard of, let alone eaten an Italian beef sandwich before! But I really enjoyed it!

There were so many choices and I had zero context so I tried the Chicago Way because it was smack dab in the middle of the menu sign. I like French dip so I got it wet; figured it was similar. Delicious sandwich. Really it the spot.

We also purchased sardines from their little pantry of canned and jarred goodies. We enjoyed those later at home.

I love the little courtyard seating area in the back. They had a tv playing one of the football games (it was Sunday). Just a really nice atmosphere. Looking forward to enjoying it all again.“

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

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

“The crostini sampler was 🤌🏽🤌🏽. The place was a little quiet on Monday nite.. probably because the warriors playoff game was on at the same time. The food was very fresh and flavorful... will definitely come back to try more menu items!“

“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.“

“Today was my second (2), visit to Locanda Sorento, Campbell for lunch. Both experiences were terrific! We were welcomed at the door seated in areas that were very comfortable, the first visit we sat in the back room and today by the front door. Service was extraordinary on both visits. Sadly I cannot recall the young woman’s name from Italy that served us on the first visit but Marco served us today. Both were excellent. I requested a bit of modification on the salmon I ordered and was accommodated without hesitation. This is on the road to being my fav Italian restaurant. The environment is bright and cheerful, the staff all seem to work together happily, food and service excellent! Thank you Locanda Sorento folks for two wonderful luncheon experiences. Looking forward to many more!“

“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.“

“Fantastic menu. I enjoyed eating and my 2 daughters as well. Great place to celebrate life milestones.“

“Deliciosos platillos y pizzas en horno de barro bon apetit 👌“

“They have several gluten free options. Food and service were excellent!“

“Good daily special. Friendly staff good food.“

“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!“

“authentic Calabrese food - molto bene!“

“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.“

“We ordered 3 pizzas;
The garlic chicken supreme, a plain cheese pizza
The beef pepperoni, and the spaghetti with meatballs, I was so pleasantly surprised with everything! The flavor of the red spaghetti sauce was delicate and light and my child ate 2 helpings and wants me to pack the rest in his thermos for lunch tomorrow! The chicken pizza is divine, fresh delicious ingredients and lovely garlicky flavor. The kids said the other pizzas were great too. I’m so happy we found this place and I hope to come back again soon!“
