We ordered champagne, which oddly arrived after we were finished with our appetizer. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. We ordered linguine and clams. But, unlike the delicate and light white wine and clam sauce we anticipated, we were met with a thick, creamy sauce that was more a mushroom Alfredo. I enjoyed it but my friend who hates mushrooms had a hard time. We might give this place another chance sometime and order something different.
Surprisingly good dinner with 5 in my party. Better than I remember from past experiences. I had Chicken Piccata that was very good, others had salmon, New York steak, scampi n pasta and canneloni. Everyone loved their dishes. I think Ristorsnte Italiano rivals any local Italian joint and is better than most. Oh and the pesto we got on the side was rich and plentiful.
We have been to Ristorante Italiano twice this month. The ambience of the outdoor patio is relaxed, wait staff is welcoming and helpful, and the food!🤤My partner got the carbonara, and it was loaded with bacon and mushrooms. The sauce on the chicken piccata is amazing. We like the wine selections, and their key lime pie is sooo good-tart and tasty! This is now on our short list of go-to restaurants in Santa Cruz.
Got to enjoy a memorable dinner with my family for my daughters bday. The atmosphere was perfect I suggest dinning in the patio and if it's cold they will bring a heater right up to you.The service was spectacular our waitress was adorable . And the food was over the top phenomenal 🤯 I haven't tasted food like this in a long time very tasteful and authentic . HIGHLY recommend
If you want Italian food and good cannoli, come here.
I had the 14oz NY Steak. It was cooked just the way I had requested, orders came out well timed, and I had a pleasant and delicious dinner.

Perfect place for Italian! 🤌🏻
For what you get it’s worth the price.
Though the only complaint is the appetizer of Brie, Garlic and Bread, which was $18 by itself.
Otherwise the food tasted fresh, flavorful, delish and Aghh.
Atmosphere was beautiful. We sat in the greenhouse seating area. Comfy and cozy.
Overall I would go again.

Excellent food and very friendly service! Highly recommend it. We had fried artichokes, bruschetta that had avocado, caprese salad, mixed greens salad, verdure fettuccine, sun dried tomato gnocchi and tiramisu. All delicious! Highly recommend the place. It would be better to make a reservation else there will be a long wait.
A year later, same excellent quality. Friday, 6pm there was no wait we could walk in and get a table.
