My wife found this place on Yelp on the way back from Carmel/Monterey. It's one of those places…read morewhere I walked in and was instantly in love - it smelled amazing and I wanted to buy everything. There are several refrigerator cases full of smoked meats of all kinds - chicken, pork, beef, sausages - and also a jerky shelf with lots of selections as well. We got a smoked chicken and some sausages. Sausages are still in our freezer, but we broke down the smoked chicken and ate it for a few meals (heated gently in the oven). It was tender and smoky, great with some barbecue sauce. We also got a couple sandwiches - pulled pork and the Jackie Special (one of our kids got a sandwich with just meat and bread). They were all huge, stuffed with smoked meat, and super delicious. Our family of 4 shared 3 sandwiches and had at least a half sandwich left. Definitely want to come back again some time, especially to try another sandwich and grab a few more things out of that refrigerator!

Holy guacamole! What a great store! This is my friends favorite store and I was helping her out…read morewith the grocery shopping. I've only been to Lunardi's a few times but I have never been disappointed with an item. Let's start with the fresh fruits - they are actually fresh! My whole life I've avoided red delicious apples because they have always disappointed. These were so good it was like a different fruit. Crunchy the way a good apple should be. Sweet and flavorful and juicy, juicy, juicy. The red delicious has redeemed itself in my book and deserves to survive instead of burned to the last tree down to the ground. I always thought I hated apples but it turns out I hate bad apples. Of course, the grapes and the blueberries are equally good, but they are not the eye opening experience as with the red delicious, mostly because I've gone grape/berry picking. Then let us not forget the made to order sandwiches! I was awed by the selection of toppings. They actually had cucumber available. Not the most common veggie for sandwiches. Also they had low sodium ham. So for those of you on restricted diets, check out the sandwich bar. Since my friend shops here regularly, I knew Lunardis would have some of the more difficult items on the grocery list. I was impressed by how the selection was so well balanced. It ranged from popular supermarket staples to some fairly exotic choices. Sugar free, gluten free, low carb, low sodium. You can find it here. Prices ranged from reasonable for the supermarket regulars to some exotic prices for the exotic items. I was pretty stunned by the final price for one bag of groceries. Service goes the extra mile. For heaven's sake you just hand your basket to the staff and they take from there at the checkout. No need to pull the items out for the convenience of the staff. I had a tough time finding items since I've been in this store maybe three times. Always polite no matter how basic the question. Extremely helpful, one staffer walked me over to the correct selection. I might not have the budget to shop here as my go to supermarket but it's certainly worth a pilgramage to pick some some special items (the apples...) As you would expect for a high end store, it was damned near perfect. I never saw an item that was shopped empty on the shelves. Bottles and boxes were neatly lined up in orderly rows. It was almost shocking to see someone had plucked an item from the perfectly stocked shelf. Of course it was spotlessly clean; the floor was almost mirrorlike with a sheet of smooth polish. There was no odor, not from the butchers, the fish, the sandwich bar, not even the bakery! Some complete perfectionist clearly manages and loves this chain of stores. I noticed even the customers were either very polite or the store had deftly trained them. Covid rules were still in effect. A large percentage of customers still wore their masks. I felt very safe and wished I had brought along my N95 respirator or at least a mask.

They have a great wine list and I tried their Mardini gin cocktail. We started with the Meze combo - a variety of small plates served with pita bread on the side.

The lamb chops were good and came with a pilaf and some veggies as well. Overall, really impressed with the food and the plating stood out. Will be back for sure!

True hospitality can sometimes feel like a lost art, but Larry was a refreshing reminder of what genuine service looks like. His attention to detail, intuitive timing, warm presence, and thoughtful recommendations elevated the entire dining experience without ever feeling intrusive. He anticipated needs before we even had to ask and created a sense of ease that allowed us to fully enjoy the evening. Larry represents the very best of the industry: professional, gracious, and deeply committed to guest experience. He is a bright light of hope for what hospitality can and should be.

Their menu is small but each item is intentional and clearly has a lot of thought put into it I went there for brunch this weekend and I loved everything. They have a great loaded chicken salad sandwich with avocado and bacon. It comes on its own if you're not feeling super hungry, but of course I opted to add a very generously sized pile of show string fries to my meal. We tried 4 of their brunch cocktails and all of them were excellent; the basil punch, Hugo spritz, peach Bellini, and another drink that I can't remember the name of that had gin. All of the cocktails were well balanced with bright citrus, a decent amount of liquor, and not too sweet. My favorite was the basil punch, which tasted like a very elevated limeade. Definitely recommend sitting on their large patio, the restaurant is called park side for a reason! If it's too hot or one of the few rainy days in California, they have ample seating inside as well. The service was excellent and our servers were friendly, attentive, and offered to bring things like additional condiments without us having to ask.

I was there last time for their freshly cooked paella and it was impeccable. Recently we came back…read moretwice, once on Sunday as I forgot that the paella was a Friday thing, so the staff told me that they usually have paella and clam chowder freshly cooked on Friday. They happened to have a small tub of Friday clam chowder left for sale, for a whopping $16! That price dropped my rating to a 4 star. Service is still 5, but man, the value proposition isn't as high as before. The clam chowder tasted good, creamy and all, but $16 for that is really hard to swallow. The store itself is clean and sells a variety of meat products and imported goods such as from Italy. We came again on Friday evening, at 5pm exact and saw the paella pan laid outside with some amount of paella piled up. The pan felt cold and we were confused if they haven't started cooking or those were the left over. So we went inside to ask and they said the paella was available starting at 5pm, so what's on the pan was cooked. We bought 1 portion, which feeds 2-3 and it came in two 16 oz tubs. For $35, it fed my husband and myself just right. The smoky flavor was on the rice with meat and lots of clams and mussels (but not those fatty mussels that you saw in the Belgium style dish). $35 for dinner of two is not as bad value as the $16 bowl of chowder. So overall, 3.5-4 stars for food and value, 5 stars for service and friendliness.

I've never been to another wine bar that does this, but I still feel all the positives far outweigh this one negative.

Their vinegars were not that great, didn't have much flavor and had too much vinegary kick. Good vinegar is supposed to be incredibly complex and smooth in flavor. Would give them a 2/5 on the vinegar alone. The olive oil is where I feel this place really shines. In particular, their Olio Nuovo is really punchy and flavorful. I would give this place a 4.5/5 based on the quality of the olive oils. So come here and give things a try -- make sure to skip the vinegar!

They have a super cute little farm stand selling produce, jams, syrups, and a few knickknacks. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Cosentino's also offers classes and events among the fruit trees and flower gardens. I went for a beginner's watercolor class on a warm spring afternoon. Shaded by fruit trees, about 20 of us sat at a long table decorated with fresh-cut ranunculus flowers and learned to paint tulips (very badly in my case!) from a local artist. It was a really sweet way to spend a couple of hours and remember back when orchards were the life blood of the Santa Clara Valley. The farm features heirloom fruit varieties and picks them ripe, so I'll definitely go back in the summer for stone fruits and berries. It was a little early in the season for a good selection when I went.
