    Called my order in on Halloween for the online special. They are a participating restaurant as I had ordered it earlier in the month and it is good through the 31st as the coupon states. Girl put me on hold, came back and said we stopped doing that yesterday and we can't make a profit selling large 2 topping pizza at $19.99. Instead of 40 bucks your order will be 70. At this point I had people that would be waiting for me with the pizza so I took the hit and went there. Went there at 5:45 as requested for my pizza and there was literally 20 people in line waiting to order/pay with only one young girl at the counter taking money, orders, getting pitchers etc for everyone. People had to wait out the back door there was not enough room for them. Needless to say it took an extra 45 minutes to get my food and by the time I got home to all the kids the pizza was Luke warm and sucked. If you don't want to participate in corporate promotions you don't have to, but if you do, you don't get to pick and choose when you start and stop your promotion without written warning. Your pizza is typically good but I refuse to patronize a store with ownership/ management that would do this. Also, it's Halloween for Gods sake. Employee up to take care of the orders. You aren't new. You know this. And don't feed me a typical standard response that someone called in sick and blah blah blah. Don't care.

    Food was great. We ordered half and half on a small size for two and it was perfect. Service was quick (we were the only at the restaurant) and the ambiance was nice. If you have kids, it would awesome for them

    Straw hat became our pizza of choice during Covid. Pizza has always come out good, not burnt and with generous toppings. I used to enjoy the salad bar prior to Covid but since all salad is packaged so no more creating your own. Please bring salad bar back!

    It is probably the best pizza in Gilroy. A friend who's lived in Gilroy for years swears by Round Table, but that place pales in comparison to Straw Hat, which doesn't say much but there it is. Regardless, their pizzas are pretty solid if you want pizza. And they serve Coke, not Pepsi at their newer model fountain machine, with is a plus for me. We ordered a medium combo pizza that had everything on it: pepperoni, sausage, olives, bell pepper, onion, mushroom and whatever else I can't recall, and it was good. Their fountain drinks are well carbonated and the seating there has big screen TVs all over the place, and games for the kids. Didn't see what the condition of their restrooms was like, but the tables ere in fair condition along the front entrance by the soda machines. Seating on a Saturday evening wasn't a problem and in the distance along the booths I saw they had kiddy chairs for small children. Medium sized pizza was good for 2, with some to spare. Staff was friendly. If I was in the mood for pizza and didn't want to go all the way to Morgan Hill for Mod, I'd def recommend coming here again.

    Decent pizza but my dad asked for thick crust they said they had it and they gave him regular. My dad asked him again and the guy lied to his face

    I'll admit it: the cheap person in me almost talked me out of ordering…read more I looked online and saw around $100 for the small dinner, which said it fed 4-5 people. From what I was reading, I thought I was basically getting lasagna and a small salad. My immediate reaction was: "$100? I can buy a Stouffer's lasagna at the grocery store for like $15!" But everyone kept raving about how good the food was. And since I LOVE lasagna, I started shopping around online at other catering and take-home options for six people. That's when I realized $100 really wasn't a bad price after all. So I ignored my inner cheapskate and pulled the trigger. I ordered everything cold and picked it up around 3 PM Sunday to serve at 7 PM. They handed me a big bag full of food, I brought it home, put everything in the refrigerator and honestly didn't even pay much attention to what was actually in there. Around 6 PM, I started pulling everything out to heat it up. This is where I realized I had seriously misunderstood what I ordered. I thought I bought: Lasagna A small salad What I ACTUALLY got: Lasagna A tray of sausage in sauce A tray of garlic bread A tray of vegetables with green beans and peppers AND the salad of my choice, which for us was the cucumber tomato salad. Suddenly my cheap side got very quiet. We had six people for dinner, including ourselves. Remember, I ordered the SMALL dinner that supposedly feeds 4-5 people. Granted, I don't eat a ton and neither does my stepdaughter, but the six of us probably ate only about HALF of everything. Apparently "feeds 4-5" means "feeds 4-5 people, plus whoever happens to wander through the front door." One more thing worth mentioning: the service. Around 6 PM I called because the aluminum trays had aluminum lids and I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to leave them covered while heating them. I'm not exactly competing on Top Chef anytime soon. While the phone was ringing, I basically answered my own question, so I hung up without leaving a message. Within THREE MINUTES, they called me back. I explained why I had called anyway, they answered my question, and I was good to go. That kind of service definitely deserves a mention. So now for the reason you're probably actually reading this review: Was the food good? YES. The lasagna was excellent. Everything that came with it was good, there was WAY more food than I expected, and what originally looked expensive turned out to be a pretty darn good value. My inner cheapskate officially admitted defeat. Definitely recommended. And honestly, the biggest surprise was that the website made the meal sound much smaller than what actually showed up at my house.

    My husband and I decided to come here on a whim. We were staying in the area for the weekend and…read moredecided to try this place out based on the reviews and we were not disappointed.. well, my husband was with his steak but for me, my meal was absolute perfection! We got seated outside and immediately got the bread with garlic and olive oil. It was delicious! We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and the portion was decent. The sauces were both spicy which we loved! If you're not a spicy person, may not enjoy them. The calamari had an even ratio of rings and tentacles. The breading was light and the calamari tasted delicious and fresh. I decided to go with the Fettuccine al Pescatore and I was blown away by everything about this dish. The pasta was delicious and a very generous portion. The sauce was amazing with a spicy kick. The seafood was a generous amount and tasted fresh and cooked to perfection. As I was enjoying this meal, I looked to my husband and said "this is one of the best meals I've ever had!" My husband got the ribeye steak and it was over cooked. He didn't enjoy it and complained quite a bit as he ate it. I told him to send it back but he just ate it. It took a while to get the server to come back to give us the check. We had to chase him inside the restaurant to pay. Ambiance is very laid back. Small indoor seating space but felt stuffy. Outside seating space with heaters. Outdoor seating was nice especially with nice weather. Saw a lot of locals coming to the spot. I will be coming back to enjoy another delicious meal.

    Food was good, not great. Ordered the special which was a New York steak over penne pasta, and the…read moresteak was overcooked, when I asked for medium rare, I got medium well. Pasta has balsamic vinaigrette over the Gorgonzola cheese pasta, which made the pasta sweeter. Different but I don't prefer it. Bruschetta was ok, the bread was like a crostini, very crunchy! The Rotelle di Parma was very rich, with the abundant cheese. Service was ok. When mentioned a lobster ravioli may be out, it was already out awhile ago! Requested bread twice and was stingy with the garlic. Bummed they did not have aperol spritz. Sat outside which was not the best ambiance, highly recommend to eat inside. Not very elegant outside and no design or decorations to create that elegance appeal. NY Steak Penne Pasta Special $50 - 4/5 Rotelle di Parma $26 - 3/5

    Beautiful! I came to…read moreMama Mia on a Saturday evening for a birthday party. The host booked the entire outside patio area, reserving about 15 tables, the back room for serving food, and space for a live singer and dancing. It was absolutely stunning. The restaurant allowed the host to set up a table for decorations and gifts, with custom decorations on each table too. There is a separate entrance for the outside patio that leads directly to the parking lot. This was nice because it made us feel separated from the rest of the restaurant. The patio area is gorgeous. There are grape leaves and vines covering the walls and ceiling. Even when it's sunny out, the plants provide a nice cover that keeps it shady and cool in there. There is also a pretty fountain where you can see birds taking a bath. It is very picturesque. The patio connects to the ballroom, bar, and restaurant if you need to access any of those things. For this event, the back banquet room was used for the food warmers for buffet-style serving. The entrees were pot roast, chicken marsala, and salmon Genovese. The sides were vegetables, mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and bread. They had an employee carving the meat and serving it for the guests. I was unfortunately a bit disappointed with the food. To me, it all tasted quite bland and flavorless. The meat was tender, but lacked a distinct flavor. The vegetables seemed a little undercooked. There was also a spread of appetizers and drinks set out in the dining area (potstickers, teriyaki meatballs, iced tea, lemon water, and lemonade). I was also not pleased by these. The potstickers were alright - a little spicy and tangy. The meatballs were nice and plump, but I did not enjoy the sauce. The drinks were awful. The lemons used in the tea and water tasted almost rancid. The lemonade tasted like a lemon-scented cleaner. It was clearly made with some sort of powdered flavoring that tasted pretty nasty. For dessert, they served tiramisu and ice cream (spumoni maybe?). The tiramisu was delicious. It was incredibly soft and fluffy with a rich flavor. The service was very impressive here. Servers came frequently to clear dishes and bar glasses. They catered to requests well and brought the dessert plates quickly. They were friendly and served the large party of around 90 people efficiently. I would recommend Mama Mia as a party venue but with the caution that the food served (at least for this specific menu) could be improved.
