Best Historic Restaurants in Santa Clara

Delicious food, fantastic drinks and great service! All the best tucked away in downtown.

Can always depend on a great meal and service at Il Fornaio - San Jose!

Excellent, attentive service. Our quiet, corner table was roomy and conducive to conversation. The staff was friendly. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed our dinner at Oak Cochina very much, a group of four of us had the guacamole and chips, pitcher of margaritas, and entrees, including chicken enchiladas. the stuffed chili rellenos, and tacos plate. The restaurant has a happening, festive, upbeat atmosphere which contributed to the good time, though was noisy, which could make conversation a bit challenging. It was a busy, night and service was a bit slow. My only real criticisms were that the menu is somewhat limited, and some items I thought were expensive (House made chips and guacamole $14.95., though admittedly, no one forced us to order this). The food was quite good, the service was friendly and professional, the margaritas were great, had a good time was held by all! 

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