    Beet carpaccio (we requested no burrata)

    We stopped by for lunch while walking in downtown Los Gatos and had a great experience here! It's a small, upscale but casual Italian restaurant with great service. Outdoor seating is available and there is a free parking lot within walking distance. We ordered the beet carpaccio ($19), which was my favorite dish. The beets were sliced thin and dressed with balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil and topped with microgreens. We also ordered the gnocchi ($24) and trofie ($25) and found both pasta dishes to be good. The only negative thing I would say is I felt the pricing was pretty high, and while the pasta dishes were good, I didn't feel the quality fully matched the price. I personally feel that over $20 is pretty steep for a vegetarian pasta dish, and for the price, I would want it to be more than "good". I think this is a great stop for lunch if you are in downtown Los Gatos!

    Cavatelli e Formaggio al Tartufo

    I wanted to take advantage of my Jazz card and take advantage of my free glass of Prosecco. The Prosecco was the best that I have ever tasted. I am not a huge fan of pasta because I find it too filling. This pasta dish in the 1st image was perfection from the portion to the kick at the end of each bite. I will be back! Service was interesting. We had awkward interaction with the server throughout the service. She forgot to return my Jazz card. When I called after leaving the restaurant to see if I left it behind, her response was that she had it in her pocket. Perhaps an apology for forgetting to return it. Nope but I just happy she saved it for me.

    Oven Roasted Marinated Olives
    Dylan D.

    Came here last Friday and had a great experience. We made a reservation ahead of time. They start you off with warm bread and olive oil & vinegar. We ordered a plate of olives. They're served warm and still have the pit in them fyi. For drinks we got sparkling water and I ordered a virgin espresso martini just to see if it could be done and it was delicious. Tasted like a good iced coffee lol For dinner we got the gnocchi and the fiocchi di pera. They were both so good and flavorful. Next time I come back I'll either get the same thing or try the tagliatelle bolognese They have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit indoors. The atmosphere was charming and the service was great. The only thing I wish is they didn't seat us right next to other tables when there were plenty of other empty tables

    Truffle Pasta
    Natalia G.

    This restaurant was amazing. To start off our server was so friendly, she basically helped me order my whole meal, wine and all by asking me what my preferences were. I ordered the salmon dish and it was delicious. I substituted the risotto for crème potatoes. The artichoke and capers was the perfect salty add on. My mom's truffle pasta was so rich and flavorful. As everyone else has mentioned, yes the bread is to die for!!! It's like a warm, pillowy, doughy heaven. I can't wait to come back to this restaurant! Salmon: 10/10 Truffle pasta: 10/10 Bread Basket: 11/10 Service: 11/10

    RAVIOLI

    Stopped in this evening had the peach bruschetta and lobster special, tomato bruschetta,gnocchi ,sausage pasta and bread. Excellent food and service!

    Mushroom ravioli
    Nikita K.

    I've tried this place twice and both times it was just okay. I like that they have specials and I got the mushroom ravioli that they had as a special that day. I was excited to try it as I love mushroom but something was off about it. The filling was very odd and the texture wasn't good. The pine nuts were a good addition though. The dish was also soaked in butter. It was quite expensive at 28$ too. They do have lots of dessert options which is nice. I got the donuts that had chocolate and cream filling and also the tiramisu. Both were good but the tiramisu had too much cream on it at the top layer and the ratio was off. The service and ambiance are both good here though, and there's lots of seating outdoor if you want to sit outside with heaters too. It was also way too cold inside.

    Gnocchi
    James H.

    Was walking by to buy a book at the Barnes and Nobles nearby, I was getting hungry and walked around to find a place to eat, then I happen to see this place and was craving pasta. So I came into place looking to get some pasta here. Just to let you know all their pasta sounded delicious. Their pizzas looked intriguing and was almost tempted to get a pizza also, but I refrained my self from getting one. Even the appetizers were delicious sounding, but the only thing I got was the bread with oil and balsamic vinegar. The bread was warm and nice when served which is a plus. I got the gnocchi pasta was also very good, however if you eat it with protein they have in there, it does get super salty. Honestly it might be better just with sauce. But it is not cheap and the amount I got was surprisingly small for how much I paid for. It's my only minor complaint, but this is a nice little place to take someone on a date The servers were also very friendly and nice.

    Pizza pesto
    Kaitlin K.

    The pear and Gorgonzola pasta was incredible. The pizza was fine but the pesto tasted too garlicky (reminiscent of the Costco pesto). They currently have a peach and burrata app special that is delicious! There is indoor and outdoor seating, the outdoor is covered and has heaters. I felt service was a little slow, we waited a while to pay the check even though there were only 4 other parties present. Other groups had dogs outside on the patio so it appears it is dog friendly.

    Oddly, the tables are not set with the same color plate. Intentional?

    Nice place when you walk in. White table cloths and nice wallpaper. Not sure why they were playing Southern rock in the background, but it was 3 PM so maybe it was just to make staff happy when business is slow. We had the misty salad and the zucchini pizza with arugula. I got the pasta with shrimp and clams to go. The salad was enough for the two of us to share and was pretty good. Not drenched in dressing, but just enough to give you the flavor. The pizza came piping hot from the oven with yellow squash, and arugula on it, and a nice soft goat cheese. Even though it was hot, the crust was not quite done through and so it was a little floppy. Still it was delicious, especially with the red chili flakes. Which I took note come out of the shaker very nicely, unlike other grinds of red chili flakes. Service was pretty good except they did not ask if we would like to have red chili flakes brought to the table. We had to get them ourselves from the station behind us as the server had quickly disappeared before we noticed. Even though it was mid afternoon, they had a decent amount of business, primarily teens or early 20s, probably to share a pizza and gab. I would definitely come back, especially to try the pasta dishes Since I got a pasta dish to go, I will try it at home and let that be my guide.

    Spaghetti alla Carbonara
    Darin H.

    Great spot in Los Gatos for some tasty and rich pizza and pasta. Lots of outdoor seating next to the street, and plenty of space inside as well. Great place to people watch and take in the amazing California climate.

    Martini and empty glasses at the end of an amazing dinner!
    Paula C.

    Centonove is one of my favorite restaurants in Los Gatos. It's our go-to spot for my friends and me. Our favorite drink is the Pear Martini--it's so delicious and dangerously easy to have too many! The first time I went, we ordered pizza, which was a great choice, especially since they offer gluten-free and vegan options. However, since then, I've become partial to their Fiocchi di Pera--pasta pockets with pear and cheese in a Gorgonzola cream sauce. Absolutely divine! The staff is knowledgeable and super fun, adding to the great atmosphere. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends, as seating--both indoors and outdoors--is limited. But even if you have to wait, it's definitely worth it!

    COPPA TRE CIOCCOLATI
    Daisy S.

    Stopped by for a quick dinner and luckily they had a table available on their outdoor patio since I was dining with my dog. Unfortunately, the bread service is no longer complimentary. It's $4 now. That's such bummer because it's such a great way to welcome back customers. My first time dining here I had pasta so this time around I ordered a pizza. They have good vegetarian pizza options. I ordered the traditional Margherita pizza and it was solid! Thin slices and fluffy crust. The sauce to mozzarella ratio was perfect. I reheated my leftovers the next day and it was still just as good!

    Funghi (mushroom) pizza
    Christine T.

    very mid / just okay Flavor was a big miss. THE FOOD: - good starter bread - cavatelli stracciatella (sausage pasta): you can tell the pasta is homemade pasta. Portion was really small too - funghi (mushroom) pizza: there's no umami and the thyme overpowered everything too. Garlic tasted preserve and not fresh Friendly but slow service. Nice ambiance sitting outside on a summer night. Dog friendly patio! They gave all the doggos there water bowls so that was sweet (:

My partner and I tried their Imperial Stout, Spaten Oktoberfest & their special Pumpkin Pie Spritz. The imperial stout: I wasn't a big fan but my partner loved it. The Spaten Oktoberfest, it was honestly very tasty and I enjoyed it a lot. Their special, Pumpkin Pie Spritz, was DELICIOUS. If I could taste a true Pumpkin pie in a drink, that was it. It has so much flavor. It made an excellent dessert after dinner. I also decided to try their Burrata Crostini for the first time and it was very good. The flavors all blended very well together, from the creamy cheese, to the tomato, to their balsamic glaze. It was an excellent choice & I strongly recommend it. The people who work here have always been so kind and attentive when it came to service. I love their outdoor area as it's in the heart of Campbell, the interior design is also very modern & sophisticated. I've never had a bad experience here so far. It has been my fourth experience here and not once have I been disappointed. If you're looking for a great choice in wine/ spritz with excellent customer service, don't look further. This place is it.

Ambiance It was the right type of moody, and I loved that people dressed their best and some were a bit most casual (in my group), and all felt welcomed. Though the lamps on the large table blocked our view or conversation so we did move it to the side but I liked the vibe of the table. Also, the bathroom is clean and selfie worthy (lol!). Service Incredible! Our server, I forgot his name but tall man if that helps. Incredibly knowledgeable, and this establishment does not write down your order, so it takes good memory skills to take so many orders! But even the greeter was so kind and sweet, a young gentleman with curly hair. They were so accommodating because at the last minute, we had some trouble in paradise and needed to push our reservation to an earlier time. They were able to accommodate us and I am extremely grateful! Now getting there, we had no idea that the roads on Santa Cruz would be so traffic heavy (dead stop and I believe an accident too!), so we were exceptionally late (I am a stickler for being on time so you can only imagine the stress I felt). They called to not only check and we were able to communicate our eta etc. I would have completely understood if they canceled our time slot, but instead, they went above and beyond. I just want to say again to the manager, each staff that assisted us, whether it be checking on our eta, hosting us, making our food, taking our picture, it left such a memorable impression and was the highlight our weekend trip. I have since referred this spot to my colleagues looking to try a superb establishment! Thank you so much once again for exceeding our expectations and working with us.

Crisp, thin and salty. There was plenty for me to eat her fries with my fish. Dessert was a very nice chocolate mouse with salted marcona almonds on top. The combo of sweet and salty was excellent and a great way to finish the meal. Service was also excellent. Our server was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and noticed this morning I received a $20 off dessert if we come back in a month. Nice touch to have repeat customers. Lovely dinner and experience!
