San Jose, CA
Best Italian in San Jose.
Harry's top 10 Italian spots in San Jose score 76–84 on the Harry Score. Prices run $ to $$.
Shortcuts show. Italian cooking is the hardest to fake because it has nowhere to hide — no sauce heavy enough, no portion large enough to disguise mediocre pasta. Harry cares whether it was made in-house. The red-checked tablecloth is irrelevant.
