   We finally made it to La Pizzeria in Cupertino, and I’m kicking myself for not going sooner! I’d been hesitant in the past, wondering if it could live up to authentic Italian cuisine. Let me tell you, it absolutely does. The owners are from Rome, and it shows in every dish—they’ve brought the essence of Italian (Roman) cooking right to the heart of Cupertino. The Canneloni special was so so good. The waiter recommended it and we were on the fence but OMG it was so good. The flavors were perfectly balanced, my daughter's pizza was fresh, my friend's spaghetti with clams was so so good. We were all impressed by this place. As for the Panna Cotta, it was silky, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. I am not a dessert type of person and I even loved it! The service was excellent, too. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. They made the whole dining experience feel effortless and enjoyable. The main owner Mr. Luciano came to talk to us, told us his story of living in the US and being from Rome and we had such a great time talking to him. He was funny and warm. The ambiance is informal and perfect for famlies. If you’re looking for authentic Roman cuisine in the Bay Area, this is the place to go. La Pizzeria delivers on every front, and I can’t wait to go back!. Highly recommend!

   Food was ok. Margarita pizza was good. Eggplant was horrible. Should have sent back. Tasted like mushrooms and not eggplant. Desserts were good

   Great food. Nice ambience. When it first opened for lunch, it was a bit chilly with its tall ceilings. By the time we left it was warmer. Great pastas!

   We came in just after 8 pm on a Tuesday night, and because it was a slow night, they were preparing to close early. They graciously set up a nice 4 top for us and gave us white glove service. Everything was really delicious from the appetizer to the entrees to desert and cappuccino. We weren't rushed and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We will definitely return and highly recommend this restaurant!

   Give this place a try! It's a down-to-earth, cozy place, with great food, really attentive service, and good prices. Pizza was really good, fresh ingredients, and brought to the table piping hot. We'll be back soon!

   La Pizzeria is a wonderful restaurant. All staff were very kind and attentive, and the food was delicious. It was a great place to celebrate Thanksgiving with our son.

   Went to this restaurant for the first time to celebrate a retirement and the food was so good. The service was great, the manager was walking by multiple times checking on everything, never had an empty glass. The food came out quick and very had to wait too long for anything. I definitely recommend this place.

   La Pizzería is my favourite Italian in Silicon Valley. Really tasty pizzas and delicious Italian starters, and a good selection of wine. The staff is friendly and social, making the visit a nice experience.

   Salvatore was absolutely amazing - he made us customized drinks that quite possibly were the best cocktails I've ever had. The food was also outstanding and the service was great. Super cute and authentic Italian place and definitely want to go back! A little on the pricey side but the quality was incredible.

    One of our 3 meals was over 15 minutes late and did not arrive until the rest of our diners were done eating. Several tables complained of the same problem. The pizza oven chef needs to coordinate timing with the pasta chef. Too many men work here. They can’t multitask as women are capable of (as research supports). Get some female wait staff already…
