A wonderful restaurant... Great food and super atmosphere. The cozy neighborhood feel of the restaurant combined with a European Bistro flair guarantees that your evening will get off to a fun start. We usually get the wood-fired garlic bread & split a half-caesar, then for entrees, my husband gets an individual pizza (he leans toward the more traditional varieties, though I think their Thai Chicken and Pesto and Prawn pizzas are the best), and I get some sort of pasta. The Spicy Asian Angel Hair w/ Prawns is killer. The Willow Street Wheat beer is my favorite (they have a microbrewery in the San Rafael Willow Street...wonderful architecture there) but there are alot more beers and wines to choose from. If you still have room (doubtful), don't pass on the tiramisu. It's to-die-for! Great service - the owners and manager regularly swing by to make sure patrons are happy. Fun, fun! (Try Los Gatos for a more "singles" scene and bigger bar or San Rafael for a microbre ... more

This is good food, contemporary style. Always done well and at a relatively good pace. Atmosphere is nice but casual and the staff is usually pleasant. You wont find the standard pizza, but it’s good (try the tye chicken pizza)! A popular place thou so get there early (both lunch and dinner). Also in a nice part of town with lots to look at in the neighbor hood.

For the money this place is fine. When we were there it needed a little help with combining ingredients together to get the right blend of flavors. It was inexpensive and the atmosphere nice. Maybe they have a new cook with a little more experience so it doesn't read "trying to hard" to be creative. It was okay and we might go back if we ever remember to. They had just openned when we went so it may be better now. They showed potencial.

Great lunch spot but get there early or late as it is small and fills up quickly. Not much in the way of parking either. The pasta dishes have always been well received and the clam chowder is one of the best. Sit outside if you can.

An excellent Bistro-style atmosphere is the setting for great lunch conversation over great pizza, pizza that offers you that perfectly encrusted underside that you can only get from superheated baking in a wood-fueled brick oven. Parking is somewhat limited especially during lunchtime ... you'll probably find yourself parking along the residential streets of the surrounding Willow Glen neighborhood. Convenient to downtown San Jose.

This restaraunt is the ideal place to go for an excellent dining experience. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is "To die for". Although it is often busy, it is well worth the wait. You can call ahead and avoid the lines by putting in your name.
