Generous portions and tasty food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Terrific restaurant with lovely menu. Within Eataly on the top floor. You can park on the roof and enter on the top floor if Eataly and then make your way to the restaurant or enter from within the Mall. Live eating outside …. Everything including the bread and butter are fabulous and so fresh!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“We always enjoy dinner at Olive Garden. Recently we were here with a group of people and everyone liked the experience.
Breadsticks are always a good idea! We also had various Dips for the bread sticks. In appetizers we had Spinach Dip which was tasty and good quantities too.
Two of us shared an entre of Make your own Pasta. By the way, if you are planning to share it, it's better to tell them while ordering so they will bring it in separate plates.
Service was good even though it was a busy day. However out of 10, only 2 people were coming in another car and they were a few minutes late to the restaurant, others were all present but we still had to wait for them to get a table. So just a heads up for your reservations, that entire party should be present at the restaurant on time.“

“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.“

“Haven't been here in a while but they keep the restaurant clean and well kept. It's always a loud restaurant but we were seated at a corner and was able to hear our conversations. We were here Sunday around noon and it wasn't a long wait to get a table. Our waitress was attentive and food came out quickly.. Good option for large groups because you can split the check several ways without a hassle.
Food was good, I had the eggplant parm and spaghetti, way larger serving that I've had in the past and it tasted pretty fresh. Will come here again!“

“I was out with Triple T, and Eightball, not really bustin things up, but we weren't holding anything back either, and we ended up in Fremont of all places! Well, it not our fault because those pesky Oakland Pinkerton boys told us to get on the hwy going south and don't come back! Anyway..We found Strizzi's Italian Restaurant where we were welcomed like long lost family, and had an Amazing dinner. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆“

“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.“

“Great food. Nice wait staff for pleasant atmosphere.“

“Best Italian food and best steaks“

“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.“

“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.“

“Probably 4.5. This was very good bathe pasta was homemade and the sauce was excellent. Some pasta, with sausage and two sodas came to $31.00. In California terms it was a fairly priced meal.
The portions were very reasonable, it was a lot of sausage for the price and the meal was, again, very good.
I would definitely come back and try a different offering. The only drawback was the seating. The concept is good and the seating is shared by many different restaurants. Like a very upscale food court. When it gets busy, like my visit, it’s harder to find a place to eat.
Still, come and eat, your stomach will thank you.“

“Great meal as usual. Friendly service“

“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“

“lovely little sit down restaurant with a super cute interior design scheme. we ordered two pizzas and a pasta. very creative and interesting fusion flavors! i really enjoyed the yakult berry drink and the salmon pasta. would definitely come again, especially if they bring back the previous dessert selection.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“My wife and I came here for a light meal and were not disappointed. They serve pizza by slice with any toppings you request, which is a great plus (as we were not especially hungry). We just ordered two veggie slices and a soda. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. The pizza was delicious and had a well done crust and arrived within five minutes. The service was extremely friendly and the gentleman who took our order was kind and friendly. It is also great that this place is halal when going with friends who are Muslim.“

“We wanted a beautiful place to share dinner before event at the CPA. It was perfect. Nice ambiance and delicious food!!!“

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

“This is a restaurant with a very stylish decoration. The classical decoration makes people feel like they are back in the past era when dining. I think everyone can experience it. At the same time, the food in the restaurant is still very delicious.“

“Excellent vibe, nice folks classic cocktails.“

“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!“

“I have enjoyed each and every time I have visited. I have had a few dishes off the menu and they have been mouthwatering delights. Everything is fresh and they bring cheese and pepper to grind at the table. Very accommodating for a small to med size group. Staff is very responsive my bread nor my water glass were never empty. The owner is a very nice gentleman and has a lot of restaurant experience, remembered my name and what I usually drink.
Parking is ok, so give yourself a few minutes to get a good spot. The place is decorated in a vintage and reminds me of the places in the Bronx. Handicap seating is available and I would encourage making a reservation. Quiet place for lunch or dinner. Enjoy !!!“

“(May 2024) I got takeout Meat Ravioli with Marinara sauce as well as take-home meat lasagna for a future meal. I liked the ravioli. I thought most of the lasagna was good but I didn't like the bell pepper in there! First time getting a lasagna with bell pepper in it.
The bread was pretty good“

“The food here is very good… the salad was nice and the pasta Fungi was amazing! But what really made this restaurant stand out was the management and staff! Everyone went above and beyond to welcome my son and I , explaining the menu, asking if we had ever eaten here before and really making us feel like part of the family. The owner ( I’m horrible with names ) showed my 8 year old son all of the Lego displays, showed him some card magic tricks and even gave him some chocolate chip cookies for dessert! Needless to say my son is a fan of Tony & Alba’s now and so am I! Very impressed 👍“

“Definitely get the garlic shrimp fettuccini Alfredo. It’s the best thing I’ve eaten there!“

“Fresh ingredients and friendly, fast service. Line out the door on a Friday night - happy to see them so busy 🤗“

“Great service and Pizza. Every time I have called, service is always friendly and free delivery over $15 and pizza is great! I was told it would take about 35min for delivery but i almost think they were faster than that! I would definitely recommend over more expensive pizza places. Thank you for you great prices and great pizza!“

“I tried the Halal Pepperoni and Chicken Tikka pizza, and it was absolutely awesome! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the spiced chicken tikka adding a rich and smoky kick, while the pepperoni brought that classic savory goodness. The crust was just the right amount of crispy and chewy, and the toppings were generous. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a delicious halal pizza option!“

“This place it the GOAT!!! The freshest most high end Italian food Iv'e personally ever experienced. At the very least get yourself an Afoggato from the Gelato bar 😋“

“Great food, nice outdoor seating and good people, they serve you with a smile.. i like that.. 👍👍“

“Went to try this Fast Pizza since the other was was far from where i lived and all I have to say was the experience was one of a kind. Greeted and also met with a smile the man was very welcoming and told us how to order since it was our first time. I decided to get a cheese pizza with tomatoes and basil and we also got the cheesy garlic bread and it was served so fast! (name was actually on point). It all came down to pricing which was 25 bucks but for a medium which isn't too bad but you can get cheaper anywhere else (little ceasers or 7 11) but you definitely get what you pay for! anyways If im in the area again im definitely going to try the pizza skulls next!“

“Friendly place.. delicious pizza.. the crust was superb.. nice melty cheese.. tasty garlic bread & mango habanero wings..😋“

“Al pastor pizza is pretty dang good. And their wings are absolutely how wings are supposed to be, crispy and breaded and doused in their many sauce flavors. 👌🏽. First time trying this place and I'm NOT Disappointed. Would definitely recommend and consider ordering again. 👍🏽“
