“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.“

“Great service. Great food“

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

“I visited this Olive Garden a while back with a friend. The first thing that hit me was the strong smell of cheese—it reminded me of the scent you get upon entering, which isn't necessarily the most inviting. We were starving, so we quickly ordered a glass of red blend wine each, along with minestrone soup, Caesar salad, and chicken pasta.
Our server was fantastic and very attentive. However, the food was just okay. We both agreed that it used to be better in the past. We were too full for dessert, so we ended up chatting for a while before heading out.
I'm not sure I'd rush back, but it's not a bad option if you're craving pasta and happen to be in the area.“

“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.“

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

“First time going and glad I picked that spot. I ordered a Cajun chicken fettuccine pasta bowl. And they didn’t disappoint. I ordered an alcoholic beverage which came out great at made beautifully with fresh strawberries sliced in the drink. The bread was fresh. But would be better severed hot or warm for butter to melt, or toasted garlic bread. However that didn’t affect the pasta dish whatsoever. The ambience was relatively calm simple with a hint of elegance. Any attire can be worn. Formal or fresh from work for grub and a shot“

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

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

“Food was good. Service was ok. I couldn't get over the fact that my server gave me 6 ounces of wine when I ordered a 9 ounce glass. She did however pour me a half glass after my first to make up for it. It's just that i wanted all 9 ounces at once.“

“The pasta carbonara was fantastic! It arrived hot, creamy, and perfectly cooked. The pancetta was perfect. The quantity was just right and I read some reviews about the bread being from Safeway, which I didn’t mind because it was good. It wasn’t hard or dry. My friend had the Penne Alla Vodka with Chicken and he liked it. I do recommend this place and I will order again to try new plates!“

“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!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Best Italian food and best steaks“

“classic style restaurant with great food for less money than I expected.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent vibe, nice folks classic cocktails.“

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

“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!“

“Great meal as usual. Friendly service“

“(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“

“I have been here many times, and each experience has been perfect. Even on Valentine's day, when you needed reservations, and they ended up being way more busy than they expected, the food was still superb and the staff respectful and professional. Do not miss out on this hidden gem in Fremont. Worth the drive from nearly any distance.“

“We had a great meal here. Pasta dishes were all delicious. I had a beef sukiyaki-based pasta that was really fantastic. Friendly service and a fun atmosphere.

Dietary restrictions: Great for people with dairy allergies or sensitivities“

“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!“

“Great atmosphere and food.“

“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.“

“This was my second visit to the cafe. I loved the panino and tried one with mozzarella. Pasta was really good as well.
Coffee varies. A week ago, the cappuccino was amazing. Today, it was watery. Overall, a very cute Italian spot, check it out. I am yet to try their Gelato...looking forward to it“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Food was delicious wings were the best freshly made and crispy ? the pizza was cheesy and the crust was good! Customer service was awesome from the owner Oscar ? very fast service and would come again

Parking: Small parking but easy to find any“

“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 😋“

“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.“
