    Caesar salad
    Dan T.

    We just hit town and were looking for a nice place for a late lunch and Craft Roots filled the bill. Service was fast and friendly. Lots of beers on tap. I opted for the Pliny the Elder Did I mention this restaurant is Vegan? It is and fantastic. I had the Fiji apple and fig salad and my sweetie had the Caesar salad which had some amazing grilled mushrooms! They have so many options and have a brick pizza oven and lots of interesting choices to try there. Can't wait to go back next time we're in town. Highly recommended

    My original choice for dinner fell through one afternoon after a day at the beach. Yelp to the rescue! After looking up nearby places I chose craft roots. 5 stars I was intrigued, first the old town feel in a very nice area I was seated right away the menu was very extensive and had many choices and all vegan! I ordered a "chicken" sandwich and a beer the sandwich was more like a burger it came with fries & small side salad it was very good and filling. The vibe was absolutely amazing the staff members seemed to be having as much fun as the diners. They had a good mix of people families, large parties and couples they have outside dining as well as inside. You can't go wrong here but since the menu is so big you may have to eat here a few times to find your favorite dish!

    The food is always bomb for a vegetarian place. We are not vegetarians but just love the food and pizza here. They also have CBD drinks on tap. Service is always friendly and fast.

    This second visit was night and day compared to our first visit. Everything and everyone was on point. Cassidy (sp?) was a pleasure to meet and took great care of us. Our appetizers and entrees arrived in a timely manner and everything tasted great. We will definitely stop by the next time we're in MH!

    Chili Cheeze Fries
    Rachelle O.

    The food is so tasty, I came 2 days in a row. Icy was my server. Super nice and explained the menu. And she remembered my name! My favorite was the Japanese Cauliflower. And really, everything was good. 1st day, I had the Japanese cauliflower and teriyaki bowl. 2nd day, I had the chili fries (this sauce is vegan? Yes) and Korean bowl. The owner said hi. He's hard working. Never sat still. He's definitely a working owner. Maybe this is why this restaurant is so good. He talked about the Maitake burger. Will have to try it next time. The dishes were so inviting, I dug in before taking a picture. Apologies. The dish will not look as good. Btw, nice size dishes!

    This place was so fabulous, so happy our friends found it for lunch. The parking structure was nearby so it was pretty easy. The restaurant was busy, but we didn't have to wait for too long. There seating in the inside and the outside as options. Our waiter and the staff were friendly and really great. The food was absolutely delicious! The pizzas had a nice touch and were flavorful. The appetizers and portions were great. We really enjoyed our fried chicken sandwich. It was super crispy and the flavor with the condiments were great. Absolutely recommend!

    CheeZe and pesto pizza
    Michelle B.

    Driving through town, craving a great beer. Our local was closed. Now what? Let's see what YELP has revealed. There in the review, Russian River Brewing Company, ON TAP! Check the menu, let's go. What a great welcoming locals hang out. The entryway is steep, wouldn't recommend crutches or a wheelchair, use the side entrance. Once inside, a few tables, a bar for about 8, television on in the corner and a wood burning oven all aglow awaiting the next paddle of dough. The mood was laid back and comfortable. This was our first time in a total vegan restaurant. We had already settled on a great beer, now what do we eat. The menu has something for everyone. We settled on the cheeZe pizza. A handmade, wood fired pizza. A little skeptical, how will vegan cheeZe taste? DELICIOUS!!! The perfect amount of tomato sauce, a robust pesto and some of the cheesiest cheese ever! Nothing to take home but a warm feeling and a full belly. We enjoyed so much, we came back again. We had half cheese and half "meat." We will look for something like this close to home. Until then, a great place to share and remember.

    Margarita pizza
    Rebecca C.

    Great service, great food, cool vibe! I was so skeptical beforehand but I loved Craft Roots so much! The kombucha was amazing, the margarita pizza was pretty good and the buffalo cauliflower appetizer is a MUST have!!! I appreciated that they had gluten free options as well.

    Nashville chik'n sandwich
    Brian W.

    Absolutely spectacular, fully plant-based restaurant in downtown Morgan Hill. Service is super friendly and the food is SO good. Now I have to figure out reasons to drive 45 minutes to get here again and again. Good beer selection as well. It's heaven on earth!

    this place is awesome! large patio for dogs. we are visiting from out of town and ate here twice in the span of a couple days. food is fresh & you can tell how intentional they are with their ingredients. the service is great, both our servers were super friendly and they gave us water for the dogs too! Nice AC inside and overall just a chill place. highly recc the chocolate mousse, nashville hot chikn sammie, beet salad, caesar salad, garlic knots! anything with their mushrooms is fantastic.

    Hibiscus Elderberry Tea - Unsweetened ($3)

    Roots on the Ground 100% vegan restaurant located in Downtown Morgan Hill ironically next-door to the Meat Sweat Paradise, aka Trail Dust BBQ--which the owner of Craft Roots used to manage for ten years. The brainchild of local couple Justin and Nysaa Gaich, Craft Roots has been serving up delicious seasonal creations using the freshest local ingredients and a sophisticated bar menu to go along with. The Good: *It's vegan without pushing the whole radical vegan agenda that some places do. They're just focused on the food and that's as it should be. *Dog-friendly outdoor dining *Great selection of local brews on-tap *Reservations thru the Yelp app, as well as a Yelp Waitlist *Menu changes seasonally *Service on both our visits was outstanding. And our recent server, Isolyn, was excellent; friendly, genuine, and attentive. *Loved the flavor and char on their pizza crust that had a nice chew to it. *Their Fried Cauliflower bites are fantastic; we've had both the Buffalo and the Korean BBQ ones and they're both fantastic. Just depends on how you're feeling: heat or sweet heat. *Nashville Hot Chi'kn was hearty, crispy and had a decent spiciness. *Fries are fucking delicious. Crispy, fluffy, and well-salted. *Carissa loved her Power Bowl which reminded her of a really flavorful fried rice dish. The Meh: *Pizzas are delicious but be prepared for an extra wait, so pro tip: if you want pizza order it asap. The Ugly: *DT Morgan Hill can get busy at certain times, so parking can be an issue. I did see a parking garage nearby but I'm not sure if it charges or is free. Conclusion: Fantastic vegan eats, service and ambiance in one of our favorite Downtowns in The Bay. Highly recommended--and this is coming from a big meathead!

    Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
    Gem M.

    Food was great! The Buffalo Cauliflower Bites were a 10/10--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the ranch. I had the Bourbon BBQ Burger, which was solid & the side of Chili Cheeze Fries was tasty. I really appreciate that they offer gluten-free options and even have dedicated gluten-free fryers. The CBD cocktail was refreshing as well. Service was quick and efficient--our server was attentive and friendly throughout. The ambiance was great too, and I loved that they offer outdoor seating

    Chili Cheese Fries
    Teresa C.

    Absolutely loved this place! I stopped in for some appetizers and was pleasantly impressed. The chili cheese fries and buffalo cauliflower bites were both full with flavor and perfectly cooked. You'd never guess everything here is vegan. I'm a carnivore and I was blown away. The beer selection is fantastic too, with plenty of local and craft options to pair with your food. Great vibe, friendly staff, and delicious food that anyone can enjoy. Highly recommend!

    Ask the Community - Craft Roots

    Are there gluten free options?

    Yes, the whole menu is or can be substituted to gluten free. Our frier is dedicated gluten free. So anything fried is gluten free. We have GF buns, pizza crust, and flatbreads. Just make sure to tell your server.

    Is this all vegan food?

    Yes, 100%.

    For someone with some hearing issues would it be better to be inside or outside on a Saturday for lunch?

    I think outside is better. The inside is small. It may be noisy.

    Is there a happy hour?

    Hello, No Happy Hour at this time but stay tuned for a Late Night Happy hour on the weekends. We will post on social media when we go live.… Read more

While I occasionally try other new Italian restaurants in South County, I always find myself comparing them to Maurizio's and concluding that the food and service are far superior. The quality of the food is always consistent, and I especially appreciate the variety offered through your different specials. I will continue to highly recommend your restaurant to others.

    Definitely a nice dining experience. I love how this place has a traditional and authentic Italian…read morerestaurant feel. The food is delicious and the service is good as well. I really love how they play Italian old fashioned music, it really adds to the romantic dining experience. The indoor decor is very classic/traditional hardwood tables and chairs with lovely + colorful paintings on the wall that add a lot of character to the room. We were so excited to come to an authentic Italian restaurant. We decided to start with the Burrata con Prosciutto as an appetizer and it was lovely. The flavor is great and it is definitely pretty feeling and satisfying. For my main course, I ordered the Fettuccine al Pescatore it was delicious. The seafood was cooked perfectly and added a great taste to the pasta. The fettuccini pasta is definitely super filling it's so thick and hearty. (I wish they would also have thin noodles available for this dish as well because the thick noodles can be a bit much.) We also got another dish (can't remember the name sorry) but it was SO YUMMY and packed with tons of flavor. We especially loved the sauce omg! The taste of the sauce is unexplainable, but it paired amazingly with the bread + cheese from our Burrata con Prosciutto appetizer. Highly recommend. Overall I would definitely suggest Maurizios as a lovely romantic dinner spot, or a great quality authentic Italian meal for your family. The quality of food is great and the prices are pretty reasonable. I will say one thing that they could improve upon is, the host stand is right behind the door in the restaurant and its placement is very awkward/strange. While checking in with the hostess, the door almost got us! lol. This should definitely be moved/changed. Other than the host stand being too close to the door, I will say the restaurant is also very small so it may feel cramped when there's a lot of people dining in. (not something fixable but definitely worth noting.) Still highly recommend. :)

Coming from Westminster in the OC then moving to San Jose, those two areas I was always around viet food so coming to this place I tried to give it some leeway since I know since moving to Morgan hill there is not many places to gather Vietnamese ingredients to cook at home The banh mi itself needs work. The baguette came out pretty dry. For their selection, it seems like they try to add multiple variations of banh mi meats into one rather than the way other banh mi places do specific meats per each sandwich. (Thịt nướng , chả lụa, heo quay) The pate and mayonnaise were lacking. The đồ chua or picked daikon and carrots were kind of lackluster. That being said it seems like one of the few places to get banh mi in Morgan hill, I do feel that they should not be charging such premium price for their sandwiches. If it was cheaper then I wouldn't be so harsh as "you get what you pay for". Not the case here
