Came in on a Sunday night about an hour before closing and were seated quickly. About a few minutes after getting seated and served some complimentary bread and water, we were told the table we were seated at was reserved and we're asked if we could relocate. Since the server asked nicely and let us know the situation, we didn't complain. The food was pretty good overall and the ambiance was pretty laid back but the service was a bit slow in terms of gaps between getting water refills or getting the dessert order or bill at the end. Pictured are the burrata, calamari, beef tortellini soup, spaghetti and meatballs, fettuccine porcini, ravioli meat sauce, panna cotta, and affogato. Would definitely come back to try more food since it's a nice little spot for Italian food in San Jose.

The food and drinks are great, the ambience is fantastic, the service is perfect with the staff always very attentive to the customer's needs. If you want a birthday party, this is also one of the better places I know to celebrate. Enjoy the fireworks! ????????. The place has a very cozy interior dining room with limited seating.

It became one of the best places to find in San Jose during that unfortunate period. But they have kept that expansion which means there is always plenty of space for having an enjoyable time. They have a great selection of appetizers, pastas and veals. It is hard to go wrong with any of the selections but I'll always go for one of the Burrata options and the Veal Picatta is delicious. For dessert they have a t
