Generous portions and tasty food.“

“It’s the jewel of the east side the food the beer the atmosphere family owned great place to enjoy ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“We went to enjoy the Copper River Salmon. We've been enjoying CRS since the original Strizzis in San Leandro. Andrew was our server and was very good, and interested in our visit to the Copper River to see how they catch the CRS. Additionally, the vegetable mix that accompanied the CRS was very good. The CRS was excellent, and very well grilled.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great meal as usual. Friendly service“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Best Italian food and best steaks“

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

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

“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.“

“Excellent vibe, nice folks classic cocktails.“

“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.“

“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!“

“(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“

“We had the Restaurant Week 4-course dinner. I'm a foodie with an egg allergy so they substitute the Appetizer choice for the Bruschetta. One note it could use a little parmesan or romano other than that the tomatoes were fresh, the garlic was flavorful & the bread was perfect. The strawberry salad was good but needed more strawberries. The spring mix was organic, the feta was creamy & fresh and the whole plate was dressed just the right amount. Not oiled down like most pre-dressed salads but just the right amount. The star was the walnuts. Obviously candied in the Restaurant's kitchen that day. I think they use brown sugar & organic olive oil. Added just the correct amount of flavor & crunch. For our Entrees, my husband had the Lobster ravioli & I had the grilled rack of lamb. We shared them of course. The ravioli was a cut above but the portion was too small. It was chopped full of lobster & the garlic cream sauce was light & elegant. My lamb was a substantial plate of superior food. The lamb was cooked perfectly with a to-die-for mushroom pan sauce. The broccoli & carrots were brushed with olive oil & roasted. That bought out the natural flavor so well that l happily ate them as they were. The potatoes were soft but bland at first. But they were wonderful after dipping them in the pan sauce. I used the bread they served with flavored olive oil at the beginning of the meal to sop up the leftover pan sauce after I emptied my plate. We shared the Triple Chocolate Mousse for dessert. I've never had triple chocolate anything that melded so perfectly. Mild white chocolate slides into creamy milk chocolate before diving into rich velvety dark chocolate. Nothing overpowering just all 3 working together to create the perfect bite. I love this restaurant. Not just for the amazing meal but the service was professional with care. They suggested a 1/2 bottle of house red which paired with everything & was the perfect amount for 2.“

“I just happened to be by Tony & Albas pizza this afternoon when I remembered I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch yet. As a regular customer, they had sent me a text for a FREE one-topping Small pizza. Perfect timing, I went in and ordered a small pepperoni pizza and within 10 or so minutes my piping hot pizza was ready.
I've always enjoyed Tony & Albas pizza from way back when I was a kid, it's always been my favorite. Perfect crust, homemade sauce with too much sugar and always quality ingredients. Real cheese that stretches as you take a bite and pepperoni that's better than any other pizza by far. You can taste the quality. Definitely satisfied my hunger. Will continue to patronize this family run establishment for years to come.“

“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 🤗“

“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.“

“They do NOT skimp on toppings at all. There's always so much topping it's basically falling off. Tastes great too and there are a ton of types of pizza from traditional to more interesting types like Indian, Teriyaki, Pesto, and much more. I'm always surprised this place hasn't exploded in popularity yet. If I had to nitpick the inside decor leaves a bit to be desired but honestly that's negligible to me because the pizza is great and never had a problem with service.“

“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!“

“Met up my buddies at this pizza spot. My first time here and it looks very nice + modern inside. I don’t drink anymore, but they seem to be enjoying the alcohol. They have a beer tower here. The mexican pizza — ASADA — FIRE 🔥

Good energy and vibes here. Employee checked on us and is attentive.“

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

“Small Italian cafe with a casual, friendly atmosphere. They serve an array of Italian and European offerings (paninis, pastries, gelato, coffee). The Fig & Gorgonzola panini is my go-to. Italian speakers will be welcomed because most (maybe all) of the staff seem to speak Italian natively.“

“Good artisan wood-fired thin-crust pizza that hits the spot with a drink. We love their Joe's Special and Diavolo (when available). Food comes out fast and the ingredient quality is fresh and great. They also have a little bar seating area. Boxes are available for takeout.“

“Pizza Express prepared a meal for my team of 70 players and they were fantastic! They prepared individual pasta meals of Spaghetti -N- Meatballs and Chicken Alfredo. They also provided Bread Sticks and Salad. They delivered everything to the school, on time and gave us utensils as well. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them in the future. Thanks Again Pizza Express!!!“
