Lovely girl working at the counter. Very good Italian pastries
Delicious, authentic Italian desserts with fast, friendly service. I can't wait to visit again to test their regular menu!
A wonderful little Gilroy treasure. Delicious pastries and Italian cookies. Entree meals very authentic.
We did take out just before Covid and had a delicious meal. We did take out this last Friday and the food was bad. Something has changed . Very disappointed
If you love good pastries or have experience baking, this place is not for you. We ordered their raspberry eclair which consisted of a bland choux pastry and pink tinged sugarless whipped cream. The only thing that made this raspberry flavored were the fresh berries on top. We also ordered their “Italian Ho Ho,” which again, tasted like nothing. The exterior appeared to be dark chocolate, but had zero flavor. No sweetness, no bitterness, nothing. I’m convinced they used dark brown candy melts instead of actual chocolate. The coating was also about a 1/4” thick and could seriously break a tooth. The inside wasn’t any better with a light brown sugarless whipped cream and mystery brown sponge that again, tasted like nothing. Just skip this place and go to Safeway.UPDATE:Please see the owner's response and decide for yourself whether this restaurant is someplace you want to support. There's a right and wrong way to respond to negative comments and clearly he doesn't know how to do this. Not even an apology and instead he chooses to bash my taste.Try learning some manners. And if your chocolate is such high quality, then perhaps it tastes like nothing because it's something you're doing wrong. Maybe too much cream since this seems to be the only ingredient you like to use in your "Italian" desserts.
The bakery goods looked fine but the entrees were not great. Wouldn't recommend the spaghetti, lasagna, or chicken Parm (which was not even breaded). The fettuccini was fine. They "could not" do plain noodles for a picky eater. I got the sense the food was already cooked and reheated - why else would you not let me pay you $15 for plain noodles?
Delicious! I can’t wait to return with a bigger appetite!
I really like the Pizza Diavolu, but the service at this place is just so hit and miss -- mostly miss -- that we've decided we're done and are not coming back. The manager is flaky and distracted, and recently goofed up our reservation. The Italian guy just needs to find a new line of work. A couple weeks ago we had a new gal who was actually pretty good, but haven't seen her since. The pizzas are solid here, but the rest of the food menu is weak. They have a sweats counter that gets a pretty good takeout crowd, but sweats aren't my thing. They don't know how to do a 'dry' martini, and mine were always coming out wrong -- lots of vermouth, olives instead of twist, that sort of thing -- to the point where I stopped ordering mixed drinks. Bottom line is that you have better choices on Murphy Street.
I love their pastries. I specifically enjoy their cannolis, so good!
