A local favorite for good reason! Small but has a surprising amount of seating considering. Food is always good and and the service is friendly. Italian American influence means this is comfort food. Homemade pizzas and breads, great pasta etc. One of my personal favorites is order their all meat pizza and a Cesar salad to split. They also have some really good burgers. One that I particularly enjoy shows up on their lunch special menu from time to time. Its a "Prawn Burger" served with house made aioli on a house baked roll, its to die for! The bar serves up some delicious concoctions too! Check out their seasonal offerings for a something new. Update: came for a 1pm lunch with a friend and was nearly completely ignored. Once we were finally able to order, food came quick enough but poor service from the waisted continued. Waited a good 20 minutes for the waitress to complete my transaction once Id put out my credit card.

Ambiance was good. Our server was friendly, overly so, and forgetful. The manager dropped by a couple of times and definitely enhanced our experience. The artichoke heart appetizer was very good The eggplant parm lasagna was fine, the eggplant was a bit under cooked. We had two orders of pesto linguine. One was fine, but the other with sun-dried tomatoes added was swimming in oil. The vegi pizza was poor- the vegetables were added after cooking and were still raw. We enjoyed the desserts. The cheesecake in a churro, as odd as it sounds, was quite good. I was quite glad the manager recommended it and would recommend it as well.

I love hanging out here on occasion. Great bar for a quick dinner with a friends. Great restaurant for my book club or other larger groups. I am a huge fan of their pear salad and I order it almost every time - but the other night I had their strawberry spinach salad and it was delish! A glass of the La Crema chardonnay at $11bucks is a bit steep, but their house chardonnay is $6.00 Salmon Creek and pretty good, too! Fun WG restaurant. I wish there were more places like TT in Willow Glen.

Its a little odd to walk in, as they dont have a front greeter, but once I got past that, the service was great and the food was yummy. You can draw on the table as they have butcher paper covering them. One problem, they didnt have a blue crayon for us to use, but we had 3 broken red ones. I could not trade for a blue one. tsk tsk.

Warm and romantic setting. Great place for a date. Awesome Italian food and perfect menu selection. The pizza (appetizer) was very bland. When the manager did rounds I kindly informed him of the same and he took it off of our bill. Impeccable service, and a the place has exceeded my expectations with every visit.

This is basically Italian fast food quality masquerading as a real Italian restaurant. Very limited low-carb, vegetarian, or other healthy options. Pasta is not made fresh. Service is fine but nothing special. Ambiance is great otherwise, I only wish the food was better. I guess some people come for the pizza?

I had one of the worst meatball sandwiches Ive ever had here. Meatballs were rock hard, there was more cheese than meatball, and the sandwich was so poorly constructed it was inedible. Waiters were nice enough, but didnt even ask why I left 90% of the sandwich untouched. Bad experience all around.

The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waiter was one of the best we have had in a very long time at any restaurant. The food was prepared perfectly. This wont be like the other stuff youve tasted before, totally new dishes that we havent had at other places. Just loved it!

Intimate and charming. I got the cheese bread for an appetizer and the regular spaghetti with sausage and meatballs. Very tasty. Our server was very attentive. Its kinda easy to miss this place since its in a strip and its bigger inside than its store front would suggest.

This place is a needle in a haystack. One of all times favorite without a doubt. The food is all ways on point , Brunch or Dinner . Perfect for any occasion and for the whole family . Service can be sometimes a little delay but the food makes up for that.

Hands down THE BEST spaghetti with Bolognese sauce I get anywhere, here in San Jose or back in Providence, Rhode Island. Friendly service, good prices, nice variety of pleasant wines...its one of my favorite places to grab dinner when Im in town.

Get the salmon w/ pasta! Great atomosphere....great wait staff....you never feel rushed to leave. The salmon is succulent, moist and tender and so well flavored. 2 sodas, two entrees, one salad = $42.00 Other entrees are superb, as well.

Have been a steady customer for awhile. Food is always great. Bartenders are wonderful and personable. Sitting at the bar allows you to watch games and interact more with the staff. A local favorite and a place to bring friends and family.

I love this place! Delicious food, casual, and friendly staff. Thats really all I need. Little pricey for me but my friends who went with me didnt think so. Overall, a great restaurant. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great place to eat. After being in the hospital with my son having surgery we decided to go back to one of our favorite places. Plus the manager there "Brian," is so personable he makes your experience here so enjoyable.

Enjoyed the meal and the service. The food is good but not great. It very close to home so I will come here again but not the kind of place to drive more than 10 min to get to.

Excellent waiter made two delicious Bloody Mary cocktails from scratch. He also provided excellent table service with a smile. We enjoyed the crab sandwich and pesto pizza.

Excellent food but the lighting is very dim, air stagnant, and tables are squeezed together. If you dont like being closed in, get take-home!

Delicious and savory food options - if you want a specific dish, call ahead to make sure they have it. Well worth the prices.

Had asked in advance for the room, but they put our group up front. Wasnt conducive to a large group. Food was okay.
