Antonella Ristorante, San Jose, California, Italian Restaurant Details

Food:

We were driving down the road trying to decide what to eat when we found this place, so we stopped in and gave it a try. The first issue was started before even ordering the meal. When the gentleman walked over with the water pitcher it started to slip so he steadied it by grabbing the spout portion with his thumb. Not a deal breaker but kinda gross. We ordered the all you can eat spaghetti that was the evening special and a couple of soda's to avoid the thumb water. The meal came with salads, which was actually a surprise to me as the waitress made no mention of it until she came out with them. This would have been a pleasant surprise had she asked before hand so we could have asked for the dressing on the side. Since neither of us were a fan of the dressing taste, both salads went to waste. Next came the spaghetti. The pasta itself was good, the sauce while not my favorite, wasn't bad either. The meatballs on the other hand had me wishing we would have just hit a drive through. I would bet good money that these are bought frozen and heated as needed rather than actually made from scratch like they should be for $13 a plate. Chances of finding me in this establishment again are very slim to say the least.

Food:

Overpriced. My daughter and I got different dishes but they had the same sauce. She got eggplant and I got cacciatory. My husband was disappointed with the ravioli--not much food in the dish for about 15.00.

Food:

Overpriced for the quality. The pizza was ok, but the caprese salad was bland. $54 for 2 adults and 1 child just drinking water.

Food:

I got a Google Offers deal for this place that included an appetizer, two entrees, dessert, and a bottle of wine. I had read some disparaging reviews about people using deals at this place but I didn't have any problems. Calling for a reservation was fine and the lady was nice. When we got there we had no problems ordering and the server was also nice. We found the food to be really good, too. I had the gnocchi pesto, which was excellent. My husband had the eggplant parmesan and he liked it but said he would get the gnocchi pesto next time.

Food:

Wow. Overpriced and food that would probably be considered poor even if it was appropriately priced. The food reminded me of what I would make at home opening a jar of sauce and a pack of pasta and stirring them together. Chicken was way overcooked and dry. When I go out I expect much better. Entrees were between $17-24 with about a $20 average and this is why my expectations were a bit higher and what made this dinner dis-satisfactory.
