Reviews for Gardino's Ristorante Italiano in Los Gatos, CA

Bery casual atmosphere. Live music on certain nights. Servers were attentive and friendly. Great cocktails and appetizer ... Calamari and main dish Prawns in garlic sauce and Lasagne was also very tasty. It was our first visit but we will be returncustomers. Read more

Good food. Great drinks. Awesome casual hangout spot to relax and get something to eat.

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. Read more

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 Read more

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 gowrong! So good! Live band, Dylan Rose Band on a Sunday afternoon. How can you lose! I will definitely be back for more of thosemozzarella sticks and to try some other things from their menu which looks spectacular! Read more

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 reallytasty, and the Tommy's bread dip. The dip was really good but the bread was only okay, and came out cold. Would stop in againfor drinks and to try the entrees next time. Super cute, lively place. Read more

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! Read more

I can only speak towards the one dish I ordered. It was a shrimp and pasta dish. The dish was mostly pasta (cooked well, great... texture) but there were only 6 shrimp in the sea of pasta...all were rubbery, tough and dry. The sauce was exactly as described,a light cream sauce. I knew I preferred a heavier, more rich, cream sauce so I ordered extra sauce and a side of parmesancheese. Sadly, that was not included in our takeout order. I checked down the shrimp, thew the rest in the trash and had to findan alternate dinner/snack option while traveling for business in an unfamiliar neighborhood, not ideal. I am giving 2 starsbecause it wasn't good quality shrimp and I didn't get the requested items. I hope my honesty and directness is helpful to theowners and or future patrons. Los Gatos appears to be a very cute town. I wish this restaurant many years of success movingforward. Read more
