    11/10! Super friendly and most importantly the food is classic Italian food that tastes just like you are eating real Italian food in Italy. Every dish was delicious. Pasta sauce and pasta noodles are perfectly cooked and compliments each bite! Thank you for amazing customer service and amazing food!

    We tried this place since it's become an Italian restaurant and the food was incredible! The squid ink seafood pasta was so tasty, i think they make their own pasta because it was an unusual shape and size, but perfectly al dente. The lasagna has a delicious sauce and blend of meats. The cake at the end was so good - i could drink that green sauce. I think it was a minty lime. We will definitely be back and look forward to the restaurant's development! A hidden gem

    Tiramisu was very nice, light, not too sweet.

    Garlic shrimp appetizer was well cooked, shrimp had the snap. A bit lemony never the less good. My husband had the chicken Milanese was large, he ate the everything on the plate. This place is Italian, just opened, the building use to be a Mexican restaurant so the atmosphere is confusing. The food is reasonably priced and tasty. We were looking for a low key place for a quick unpretentious meal. Service was good, food came out quickly.

    It is now Il Portal. Italian. The same great service, with a new Italian chef. You can still get a margarita here! The menu looks amazing.

    Although the service was just fine, the food was very disappointing. The restaurant was very noisy and loud.

The grab and go section up front with fresh pastas, sauces, and other items to take home is on point. To start, we had the spicy cauliflower with pesto rosa and pumpkin seeds, which was a great dish to kick things off. The staff mentioned there are a few staples on the menu, but a lot of it rotates regularly, which is always nice to see. They also have a really solid wine selection. For pastas, we tried the lasagna du jour with pork sugo and the mafaldine with beef cheek and mushrooms. Both were very good, but the mafaldine was the standout for me. Really rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. On top of the food, the service was excellent. We were checked on regularly, and the staff genuinely seemed happy to be there, which always makes a difference. Really enjoyed the experience overall and this will definitely make its way into our neighborhood rotation not only for dine in but for grab and go items as well.

    I came here for lunch to try the meatball parm sandwich. I would give it a 8.5/10. The sandwich…read moreoverall is good, however it does need a little more sauce. The meatballs are thick which I like, but since theres a lack of sauce and the meatballs are a little more bland, the flavor gets lost. If they added a little more sauce or had sauce on the side, it would be a 10/10. For $16 and being able to sit down, I would say it's worth it! I came here last week for their truffle pasta. It was a good, but there was not a specific flavor that stood out. I would give it a 8/10. For me, I need something to pop if there aren't a lot of ingredients. However, it was still good and my girlfriend actually disagrees with me. She said she likes how it's classic, not overwhelming with flavor. We agreed how we would not get the garlic bread. Nothing special, the bread was good but definitely needed some marinara sauce on the side. Anyway, I say come over and try it out!

The carbonara was amazing--served super hot with great flavor and a solid amount of meat. Easily a 10/10. One tip though: eat it while it's hot, because once it cools down, it's not quite the same. The seafood pasta was also a standout. Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were on point, and it felt surprisingly light for a pasta dish. You know how pasta can sometimes feel heavy? This didn't have that at all. Another 10/10. The pesto pasta (a special that day) was just okay for me. It leaned a bit too oily, and the pesto flavor didn't really come through. They added ricotta, which kind of overpowered everything else. I did like the portion and the amount of meat, but overall I'd give it a 7/10. The ambiance was decent--nothing too special, but clean and comfortable. Service was excellent. It felt like a family-run place--three brothers along with their wives and kids--and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. They gave great recommendations and even helped accommodate my mom by seating us closer to the bathroom, which I really appreciated. Just a heads up: it's in downtown Los Gatos, so parking can be a bit tricky since there's no private lot. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place. The portions and quality justify the price, and it stands out as one of the better Italian spots in the Bay Area.

Amelia made everything super easy from the start: she sent a menu survey ahead of time, was really accommodating with a time and headcount change, and was overall just great to work with. The dinner itself was amazing. The space feels semi-private (tucked behind the pasta case), which made it perfect for our group of 9. The table itself was gorgeously set with candles, flowers, and all the little details that made it feel really special. They even customized the menus to say "Happy Birthday Taylor," which was such a fun touch. The food was incredible, and there was SO much of it, no one left hungry. The wine was flowing, the vibes were perfect, and our servers were great. It felt special without being stuffy at all. They also sent us home with fresh pasta, which was the cherry on top. Everyone had the best time, and I would 100% do this again. Heads up, this is only available at the Mission location. I literally live one block from the Clement location, but this was SOOO worth the trip.

Service was outstanding, and pacing was perfect. We started with a salad and the cheesy bread (amazing!), and then tried two pasta dishes - the kabocha squash pillows, and pasta with vodka sauce. Both were delicious and well prepared. We finished with an incredible panna cotta that was finished with caramel and cacao nibs. Everyone loved it! Would definitely go beach here!

You can buy fresh varieties of pasta and lots of options of sauces (cook within 2-3 days though, it's fresh) to cook at home or eat there bistro style! There's a counter and a few bistro tables/chairs outside so limited seating. This time I bought the rabbit sugo (lightly orangey) and pesto (fresh and bright) and loved them both. My go to sauce is usually the boars sauce that goes with the agnolotti (sorry words, I lost you), but you can't go wrong. If you dine in, you must try the mushroom tagliatelle. There people there are super knowledgeable and helpful if you need to make a decision when there's too many good options. PS - double check address !! There's two Belottis :)

The salad and the pasta were excellent as I expected, though the pasta portion size was truly very small - maybe that's just because of the special we ordered? I feel like portions were bigger at the restaurant though, but maybe that's just my memory. Still a cute hip dinner option. Hamnet was a bit torturous.
