Best Italian Restaurants in Sunnyvale

Celebrated a girlfriend’s birthday in the outdoor patio. We had a lovely time. The food was great as well as the service. Since it was Valentine’s weekend we barely managed to get a reservation but the seating area was comfortable because of the heaters even in February.

These guys at La Fontaine are great. They always deliver on service and quality, especially service. If I ever eat at other “fancy type” places, a thought always crosses my mind that I could be getting more and better flavor for less money and treated better at La Fontaine. Cocktails are great too.

**A Wonderful Dining Experience at Il Fornaio - Santa Clara!** Our dinner at Il Fornaio - Santa Clara was made extra special by our fantastic server, John Orrock. From the moment we sat down, John greeted us with a warm smile and genuine friendliness. He was incredibly attentive, ensuring that everything was perfect throughout our meal. What truly impressed us was that he even remembered my husband from a visit a year ago—such a personal touch! The food was absolutely delicious! My seafood linguine was a standout—the prawns and scallops were huge, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a treat! Great food, amazing service, and a welcoming atmosphere—thank you, John, for making our evening so memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

We love this restaurant and always have excellent food and we would give the service a 10!!!!!! Later this year we are planning a family reunion and they are at the top of our list to book the celebration because they have two private rooms that would be perfect to use! Sue R.

Great Italian food. Old school atmosphere. Great service. Lively location on Sunnyvale's historic Murphy St.
