Best Cozy Restaurants in Cupertino

We finally made it to La Pizzeria in Cupertino, and I’m kicking myself for not going sooner! I’d been hesitant in the past, wondering if it could live up to authentic Italian cuisine. Let me tell you, it absolutely does. The owners are from Rome, and it shows in every dish—they’ve brought the essence of Italian (Roman) cooking right to the heart of Cupertino. The Canneloni special was so so good. The waiter recommended it and we were on the fence but OMG it was so good. The flavors were perfectly balanced, my daughter's pizza was fresh, my friend's spaghetti with clams was so so good. We were all impressed by this place. As for the Panna Cotta, it was silky, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. I am not a dessert type of person and I even loved it! The service was excellent, too. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. They made the whole dining experience feel effortless and enjoyable. The main owner Mr. Luciano came to talk to us, told us his story of living in the US and being from Rome and we had such a great time talking to him. He was funny and warm. The ambiance is informal and perfect for famlies. If you’re looking for authentic Roman cuisine in the Bay Area, this is the place to go. La Pizzeria delivers on every front, and I can’t wait to go back!. Highly recommend!

Was so fun! First time! Had our table ready in front bar area by window. Was best seat! Food was delicious and service was great. Will definitely go back to The Hero Ranch!

We used to go there all the time and stopped going about 8-9 months ago. Last time we were there the bartender was rude…. So we stopped going. We decided to give it another try, the bar area is very nice….and ….We had a great time, cocktails were great and portions were good size and bartenders were exceptional!!! If you haven’t been in awhile go…

San Jose's Kings Fish House is one of the best fish restaurants in the Bay Area with an excellent selection of fish served in generous purportions and warm welcoming servers. We started our meal with a delicious beet salad...one of the best I've eaten. The petrale sole and sea bass were cooked to perfection and come with a selection of two side dishes. This is truly a fine dining experience in a feel of eating at a coastside restaurant.

We love this place, it's a special occasion place for us but we really should go more often. The food is outstanding, the presentation amazing, the staff are so kind and considerate. The blends of the dishes are well thought out, and the portion sizes just perfect. Truly amazing small 'hole in the wall' restaurant. Worth every penny.
