I ate breakfast here two times during my stay in San Jose. Both times I enjoyed my meals and the lattes were excellent. Most of all, the service was outstanding! I was greeted by a very friendly host named Abraham and was served by two wonderful people.....Alberto and Catalina! Both were extremely professional, personable and fantastic at their jobs. They truly made the dining experience terrific. I'm glad that I had a chance to enjoy this restaurant.
Had a wonderful Sunday dinner. I got the tortelloni di zucca while others at the table all got the paccheri alla vodka. We got a bottle of wine, some got cocktails, and then a few of us ended with some dessert. Portions were a little on the small side for the price, however it was all delicious. Our waiter was awesome, which added to the experience
It’s a great place in the Sanjose downtown. Food is really good. Also really good for office lunches
