Gardino's Ristorante Italiano - Italian restaurant in Los Gatos - 51 N Santa Cruz Ave, USA

I really don't think the service was friendly. It took forever to get our order of drinks in. The food was good, had to wait a very long time to get our dish of eggplant pasta. The band was pretty decent. Overall I liked it, but definitely not a place that I will frequent on a regular basis....more of a back up of a back up type of place for me.

Can only give four stars for this time around... we didn't order dinner, just drinks and apps. We were sat quickly by the kind waitress. She was delightful, attentive and quick with service. We ordered the Sicilian Slush lemon flavored, which was really tasty, and the Tommy's bread dip. The dip was really good but the bread was only okay, and came out cold. Would stop in again for drinks and to try the entrees next time. Super cute, lively place.

The management and wait staff including bartenders are all the best in the area. Attended a family event for a passing and they took care of my family everything they did was going above and beyond helping us to start the grieving process. I cannot express the level of appreciation I have for each and every member of the team.

Cons: the server smelled like chain smokers. We couldn't stand him even for a couple of seconds that he was putting the food on the table. The food selection was limited, especially salad Pros: they were accommodating and customized salads for us.

Metal tables, live band, great service. Ordered the Vongole Italiano with only aglio e olio. Was good and garlicky. Garlic bread was also garlicky, no vampires tonight. My wife tried the Fettuccine Alfredo and also liked it.

We had such a lovely dinner here outside. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious. Thank you so much for a great dining experience!

Amazing food. Service was decent but there was only a single server at the time. Will be returning. Adding to this, after trying again in a less busy situation, even better experience

Without question be best mozzarella sticks that I have had in the entire Bay Area. Spicy and melty, these are clearly made on site. Not out of a bag frozen! The Sicilian slush is a delightful concoction that includes limoncello and vodka, how can you go wrong! So good! Live band, Dylan Rose Band on a Sunday afternoon. How can you lose! I will definitely be back for more of those mozzarella sticks and to try some other things from their menu which looks spectacular!
