Food was great. The seafood pasta was not on the menu but recommended by the manager. It turned out to be the highlight of the dinner.

I've always had the pizza here which is great, but last night we had the pasta and it was just so so. My wife had the lobster ravioli which was ok, but there was minimal lobster and lots of ricotta. My papardelle with wild boar was meh. Pasta was nicely cooked, but the meat was tough and chewy and honestly tasted way more like beef than pork. It was in a watery broth with a few bits of mushroom and it didn't meld with the pasta at all. Salads were great, service is friendly and efficient and the place has a nice casual vibe. We'll keep going.

Good service but one of the worst chicken salads I've had - the chicken itself was so dry and overcooked that some edge pieces tasted like leather, not even jerky - just burnt. They had an unfortunate series of fire alarms go off during our lunch service so I felt bad saying anything and having to send it back, so I chugged water to moisten the chicken. Service was great though - they apologized for the blazing alarms and accommodated our request to move outside. My colleagues got their pastas and really liked their dishes, so maybe try those. Appetizers and desserts were fairly good as well, just don't get chicken on your salad.

I enjoyed our visit to La Pizzeria Cupertino and found the service nice and attentive. The food was decent. Pricing was a bit steep in my estimation. They have a nice range of choices. Check it out.

this is a real Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria. You can taste every single ingredient in every dish, which means everything is super fresh. My favorite dish is Pappardelle with wild boar and since I'll be eating there several times I was able to try other dish and I was never disappointed. The stuff is great, the owner Simone is very attentive making sure everything go smoothly so that the customer are happy. Salvatore is a great waiter and makes you feel in Italy.

Pizza was great but dough needs a bit more elasticity for top rating. Overall good place. Staff and atmosphere really good.

Celebrating birthdays is always great when you have great food and a vibrant atmosphere. We recently came here just for that purpose and to try some Italian fare. The place was easy to find with plenty of parking. Inside was spacious and nicely done with Italian accented waiters which definitely lent to the authenticity. As a large group we ordered a few rounds of appetizers from garlic bread to the caprese vegetale, both were quite delicious.On to the main dishes. Vegetarian pizza, pizza with potato and rosemary, and a classic Margherita all failed to wow me unfortunately. Thin crust Wood fired pizza is know for its crisp crust and this was not it. Flavor wise it was decent but not anything that would make me come back for it.The pasta I ordered was what I was really looking forward to, spinach and ricotta ravioli in the creamy red pepper sauce...So disappointing. The ravioli was chewy and the sauce lacked depth of flavor.Overall maybe the other dishes they serve are on par but I won't come back.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian pizza and starter options with a few options for pasta . Clearly labeled on menu
Great food with lots of interesting options. The staff were super friendly and attentive.

We were there for Valentine's Day and the staff was very friendly.The food was very well made and the service was excellent.I had the gnocchi with cured ham. It was very good and the gnocchi were light and sort of rustic. Quite unique but it worked very well.

My date and I had dinner at this establishment on Sun Feb 25 and the meal was HORRIBLE!!! I should have refused to pay for the meals. We both had the sea food combo pasta dish. No veggies, poor presentation (pile of pasta). Diid nit smell or taste good AND very expensive $44 plus. When the waiter interrupted our conversation to ask "how is the food" - I replied very unenthusiastically "it is ok" he smiled and strode off as if I had just complimented the chief (totally clueless). I would not go back or suggest that anyone patronize this place. Goes next door to the clCountry zinn - we did the next night. Foid is far better and reasonably priced. LPC management is asleep at the wheel. I deeply regret going there and deeply regret paying for our meals.

LA Pizzeria Italian restaurant at this particular location has a clean environment, great ambiance, atmosphere, inside and outside dining. However, You know a real Italian restaurant because they are rich in hospitality where they serve Italian bread and herbs saturated in olive oil. Their pasta is al dente, and every taste is authentic. This restaurant has fallen short of its root and more Americanized than rich in Italian flavors and love. But this isn't Italy either! And where is the hot and steamy plates these days? No one is really selling what they promote and market. What I see advertised is not what I get served on their tables. Hospitality, food and service is on the decline. In fact, it's worse now then it has ever been. But we still keep showing up and spending our hard earned money. Then, they expect tips for mudane efforts. A tip is for above and beyond service with efforts, expectations and meeting the needs of clients or customers with total satisfaction. I was not satisfied with the penne al salmone. It was gummy. I couldn't tell the salmon from the onion or whatever is in the thick and sticky sauce. I feel as though the heart of the meal is missing. The precious time of the meal has been subtracted. My son was not satisfied with The lamb chops entree. He said it did not have flavor. That he was trying to add all kinds of oil and seasoning to rise to Italian flavor of the dish altogether. The Italian soda was carbonated with syrup added. Is this real Italian? gummy, bland, bitter. Let's get back to an unforgettable experience of real hospitable, al dente, authentic Italian food and service.

Immediately no. Nice ambience and good location but this is definitely one of the worst Italian restaurants I have tried. Service was below average, food took about an hour to get to my table after ordering, and our server never checked on us that whole time. Frito misto to start was very okay at best. Many of the calamari pieces were hard/overcooked, and also pretty salty. Margherita pizza is a hard pass! It is literally just cheese pizza with chopped basil and most definitely not a Margherita. Lobster ravioli was an opportunity for redemption but half of the dish was literally cold. Some pieces were hot/warm but overall I could not get past how it was not fresh and hot when served.
