Gardino's Italiano - Los Gatos

Amazing food. The service was decent, but then there was only one server. Will return. In addition, after the attempt 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!

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.

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!

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 parmesan cheese. Sadly, that was not included in our takeout order. I checked down the shrimp, thew the rest in the trash and had to find an alternate dinner/snack option while traveling for business in an unfamiliar neighborhood, not ideal. I am giving 2 stars because it wasn't good quality shrimp and I didn't get the requested items. I hope my honesty and directness is helpful to the owners and or future patrons. Los Gatos appears to be a very cute town. I wish this restaurant many years of success moving forward.
