Finally checked out an Italian restaurant in Little Italy and couldn't have picked a better spot!…read moreSuch a charming, cozy date-night restaurant. We walked in around 8 p.m. on a Friday night without a reservation and were seated right away, though it was clearly busy--definitely recommend making a reservation, especially if you're planning to go earlier on a weekend evening. We started with a bottle of wine, and they bring out complimentary bread with an olive oil mix (dangerous if you're like me and can easily fill up on the free bread). We shared the Insalata Cesare, which they thoughtfully split for us without even asking--such a nice touch. For dinner, we ordered the Gnocchi alla Genovese and the Gamberi e Calamari Fra Diavola, and it was the perfect combo. We originally considered two pasta dishes, but I'm so glad we didn't--it would've been way too filling. The pasta was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor, and as a basil lover, this dish absolutely hit the spot. The seafood was also delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked, and it came with a side of veggies and roasted potatoes that rounded everything out nicely. They also have both a side patio and a front patio with seating, which appeared to be heated--such a great option and would have been lovely to sit outside as well. We loved everything about this experience and will definitely be back soon!

I made a reservation for a Thursday evening, and even though it's right in the heart of downtown, we were lucky and managed to find street parking in front of the restaurant with free EV charging! Right when we stepped in, the interior is decked out in a modern art deco style. Vibrant & fun colors while still maintained a sosphiscated touch. After a few recommendations from our server, we decided to try: Mushroom Arancini (10/10): These are amazing, as soon as they brought it out, we can both instantly smelled the truffle oil. The exterior were crispy & pipping hot, the inside has creamy mushroom. It was certain my favorite of the night! Rigatoni alla Vodka (8/10): A solid pasta! The sauce was great and balanced. There was a good amount of sauce that coated in the pasta. The pasta itself was perfectly al dente! This is a staple dish but I felt like it might lack an interesting flair. Stuffed Branzino (8/10): Another solid dish! The whole were already debone which made it so much easier and fussed free. The skin on top was insanely crispy, the meat were juicy and overall tasted very healthy and fresh! It was a nice paired to the heavy pasta dish! They also gave us 2 cute canolis as a free birthday dessert which were super good! Overall, this is a beautiful spot for a date night and I'm glad I took my partner here! I even got $20 off the bill just by downloading their app and creating an account. Definitely planning to come back!

My boyfriend took us here for a late birthday celebration and upon arriving, we immediately noticed…read morehow beautiful the inside was. The ambiance was perfect for date night. We started with the garlic bread for appetizers. It was well presented but I think it would've been well paired with some sort of dipping sauce because it was a little dry. My boyfriend ordered the thousand layer lasagna and really enjoyed it. I ordered the rigatoni and thought it was just okay. I didn't realize the dish didn't come with protein so it felt like the dish was missing something. The sauce itself was nice but for some reason, some of the pasta was undercooked and some of it was al dente. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate pudding and tiramisu. The presentation was so beautiful. Both my boyfriend and I loved the pudding most -- I would definitely order this again. The tiramisu wasn't bad but it would've been better if it had a stronger coffee taste and if it was a little more moist. The wait staff was incredibly attentive and definitely made our visit feel special. She paid attention to the small details like helping us label our boxes, which I've never had anyone do before. On a completely unrelated note, I was surprised to find the bathrooms are shared between both genders. While there are separate stalls, the sink area is shared, which I wasn't expecting for a nicer restaurant like this. But I would say overall the food was hit or miss but the service and experience overall was amazing:)

There's way more tables than you expect as you walk in the front door. It has a great garden vibe and you are not crowded together. Their menu is extensive and prices are reasonable. Service was also attentive and friendly. Our group enjoyed the carbonara, spaghetti and meat sauce, spaghetti and meatballs, meatball sandwich, and Italian sausage sandwich. The bread they offer is ample and delicious. A nice touch is the unsalted butter, which is much fresher tasting than salted butter. The portions were large and those of us ordered pasta took home more than half and we are not shy eaters. I would highly recommend this for a group gathering. There was a large party that had a private dining area in the back, so large groups would find this place delightful. I can't believe that I haven't been here before, but will definitely come back again.

It has a large bar where you can watch sports, with a few tables nearby, and a separate large dining room with many tables. We were seated at a booth just past the bar. There was some noise, but the server turned down the background music so I only had to deal with the bar voices. Decor and atmosphere were great. High ceilings and plenty of light in the main room and darker in the dining room. The server was prompt and attentive, without hovering. We asked about 2 wines and she brought a sample from the open "wine by the glass", which was great. My wife had veal piccata and I asked for a recommendation between the linguine with clams or chicken parm. The waitress said the parm was very popular, but the linguine was her favorite, so I went with that. LOTS of clams and a nice slightly thicken sauce that stuck to the pasta and didn't drip off. My wife loved her veal. Prices were all reasonable. Overall, this is a great place for a date, group get together, or casual night out. We'll be back!

To be honest, when I opened the menu, I thought the price was a bit on the high side, and didn't expect to like it in the "worth it" scale. But hey, for a higher price, they better deliver on the food quality! It most certainly disappoint. The food was amazing. Got the Linguini Fruti Di Mare, the seafood was good quality, the cioppino sauce was intense. It truly is the boss of the sauce. Also ordered the Chicken Marsala, I'm always cautious before ordering because the marsala wine can easily become overwhelming, or the sauce is too sour, or the chicken is tough and dry. I did not hit any of those, but rather, what I got was a few silky smooth and tender pieces of flattened chicken breasts, that is moist and flavorful. The sauce is great too, not to mention the mushroom, that is so fresh and flavorful on its own. Last but not least, their attention to detail went all the way to mashed potato and steamed vegetables. It was truly one of the best. Did I mention the free, fresh baked foccacia? It's among the top 3 I've had in any restaurants, ever. At the end, even it pinches my wallet a bit, it was well worth it. Come hungry, leave happy!

The peak Friday lunch line stretched out the door, which was as expected, and thankfully moved steadily. Be sure to grab a ticket and listen for your number to be called. We then ate on the sun drenched patio, too sunny actually. It may be early April but time to put back the awning as I came away with a slight sunburned face. Service is crisp, familiar, and moves fast - a welcome briskness if you're waiting in line. Give La Villa a try ... chances are you'll be drawn back for a second visit and chances are you'll meet me in line. I'll be back as well

I had a coworker recommend this spot as one of the better Italian places in the area, so I wanted…read moreto check it out--and it definitely lived up to the hype. The carbonara was amazing--served super hot with great flavor and a solid amount of meat. Easily a 10/10. One tip though: eat it while it's hot, because once it cools down, it's not quite the same. The seafood pasta was also a standout. Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were on point, and it felt surprisingly light for a pasta dish. You know how pasta can sometimes feel heavy? This didn't have that at all. Another 10/10. The pesto pasta (a special that day) was just okay for me. It leaned a bit too oily, and the pesto flavor didn't really come through. They added ricotta, which kind of overpowered everything else. I did like the portion and the amount of meat, but overall I'd give it a 7/10. The ambiance was decent--nothing too special, but clean and comfortable. Service was excellent. It felt like a family-run place--three brothers along with their wives and kids--and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. They gave great recommendations and even helped accommodate my mom by seating us closer to the bathroom, which I really appreciated. Just a heads up: it's in downtown Los Gatos, so parking can be a bit tricky since there's no private lot. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place. The portions and quality justify the price, and it stands out as one of the better Italian spots in the Bay Area.

My friends and I wanted to try an Italian restaurant and Italian Brothers popped up on Yelp!…read more Parking: since it's downtown Los Gatos, you gotta find street parking. Luckily when we went around 3/4 it wasn't too crowded. Complimentary bread ~ I thought it was good and light! Appetizers: Calamari - 3/5 the batter was light which I liked but I wished it had more seasoning. It felt on the more bland side. Pasta: I got the Saliccia e funghi, it was light and flavorful. I like the pasta noodle and the combination - which had chicken, mushrooms. I don't go out of my way for Italian food but I'm so glad I found this place! Definitely will be back to try different dishes.

I totally understand how they made the top 100 in the SF Chronicle list, it's so well deserved!…read more I have only heard golden reviews of goodtime bar through peers and thought it was a great time to finally check it out! I came here with a friend on a weekday for dinner and it was not packed at all. The atmosphere was very minimalist and clean, with a cute disco ball in the corner. This establishment requires you to order at the bar (makes sense it's a bar), and then they did you a number for the table so they can deliver your food. Any drinks you order they will make it right then and there for you to bring over. In terms of food, here is everything we ordered and my thoughts! *Deviled eggs: You would think since it's deviled eggs, there wouldn't be anything too special about them but I appreciated the small pops of salmon roe that added a nice textural play with the creamy eggs! * Bluefin tostada: Absolutely delicious with fresh tuna, paired with mango, on a crispy wonton chip. What a rich treat. * Arancini: The twist of fusion flavors was great. I love how the Japanese curry added a nice mix of umami, paired with the sharp creamy kimchi sauce. Definitely a favorite! * Pork belly: Pull apart, juicy, and tender! These paired actually really well with the arancini for a good balance of rice and meat. * Red miso crème brûlée: interesting sweet and salty flavor combination between the red miso and Madagascar vanilla. Not too overpowering tho. A lovely meal was had here!
