I came here with family for my 23rd birthday and they went above and beyond for our group; we couldn't have had better service. The staff was welcoming and very friendly, the food was absolutely delicious, and the birthday celebration was spectacular! We all got a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate the birthday and we got to sample some desserts as a birthday treat after our delicious dinners. With the quality you're getting when you come here, you can easily rack up a hefty bill so I'll be saving this gem of a restaurant for special occasion/celebration dinners, but will definitely recommend to friends.

Came here with my family during the outdoor seating during COVID. First of all, the ambiance was great — there was live music DJed and also the lights and outdoor patio seating were great! I got the lobster meat pasta with vodka sauce and loved the flavor - potions were just right too! Came on oyster day too which was great and just 1/oyster! For dessert we got the chocolate pecan pie which was so tasty and crispy. Would come again!

Ever since Vin Santo opened in Willow Glen, our family has enjoyed dining and celebrating with them. Such a cozy atmosphere, very accommodating with large families, and Chef Umberto is a positive fixture in the community. The drinks and food are a’plenty, and the flavors are also robust n delicious. Authentic Italian restaurant in San Jose is Vin Santo....and we love it each time!

We had a delightful experience, everything was delicious and the service was excellent. Highly recommend the Farfalle and Tiramisu!

Everything's is Amazing, Food delicious Restrooms clean Great service Only issues seating/tables very close to other tables and walls. A bit over crowded. For such a nice classy restaurant, very cheap tables that weren't even and rocked back and forth. We sat on the first table on the left when you come in. Definitely would recommend

One of the best servers I’ve had in a while works here! He was so attentive to our table despite the rush of diners. The food is good enough for a special celebration, but the only problem as expected with a condensed downtown area of a ...

When we arrived, we got seated right away. We were asked if we wanted the high top tables or regular, we did not mind. The set up of the tables was nice, and the place felt romantic. There were a few people eating at the restaurant, but the tone was just right. Not too loud and not too quiet. This was our first time there, so we decided to go with the tasting menu. Everything we got tasted good from the appetizers to the dessert. One thing I did love was that the person helping us was helpful and had a great attitude. I will definitely be coming back to this place and trying out other dishes.

Always delicious. We arrived early for our reservation but we were happy to wait in the bar area with some cocktails. The drinks were good. We had a group on for our dinner. It came with a bottle of wine, two appetizers or salads, two entrees, and one dessert.. it was perfect for my friend and I. I must admit the only time I was disappointed was when I found out there don't have the grilled pear ravioli. It broke me heart on the inside. But I understand having a rotating menu. I had the braised boar over pasta and my friend had the ravioli and gnocchi sampler. Everything was delicious. Always recommend the cream brulee. 10/10 recommended. Be sure to make a reservation. Chef Umberto if you are reading this please give me a hint to your pear ravioli and walnut cream recipe 3.. much love
