Mio Vicino

Fantastic Italian place that is a gem in the middle of Santa Clara. We found this place while driving around looking for an Italian place for dinner. The ambience and the friendly staff immediately helped me settle down and the plane was busy as well. They bring our fresh bread with roasted garlic while you wait for your food and needles to say they were both delicious. We ordered a portobello pizza and artichoke stuffed ravioli. One of the best pizzas I've had so far and this place beats down the ones in mountain view and San Francisco. Do go here if you want quality Italian food with a nice ambience.

We had 3 dishes - 1) Ravioli Trio 2) Gorgonzola Gnocchi 3) Cheese Tortellini with Chicken and we had a clear favorite.... + Service was excellent. John our server was amazing, friendly attentive, even our sassy 4 year old was all about John (or Red as friends call him) + Portions were a good size + Flavor was great in every dish + Creamy sauces did not feel overly heavy + Pastas were cooked perfectly - the only con was that one of the utensils had a bit of food stuck to it we noticed when we picked it up Favorite was the Gorgonzola Gnocchi - the radicchio sauce, spinach and walnut blended perfectly with a perfectly cooked gnocchi. Chocolate mousse was devine!

Always a great time here, have been coming back to this places for many years. Will try to stop by every time we're in town. This is the first time we're back since Covid, glad to know everything is still the same except the wall of tomato cans has been removed. Prices are affordable and portions are huge.

Santa Clara staple family-friendly Italian Restaurant near Santa Clara University. Service and food are both wonderful. Had to take off a star due to the dusty shelve and dirty dishes near where we sat as it wasn’t appealing to see. However, been coming here for close to 20 years and the food is still delicious.

I was very disappointed. My food was not editable. I ordered fettuccine Alfredo. The dish was noddles and copious amounts of olive oil. The coagulated heavy whipping cream that topped the noddles told me my dish had most likely been reheated from yesterday’s scrapings. I would have been better off grabbing a selection of frozen dinners.
