I’m going to continue to post my restaurant reviews both on Yelp and here. This week, “the dinner club” checked out Pezzella’s on El Camino in Sunnyvale. Here’s my review:
My colleague John C. tells me my Yelp reviews are too long to read, so I’ll keep this one relatively short.
Pezzella’s is a great neighborhood Italian joint, with hearty, tasty dishes. The ambiance and decor are casual; it’s a place for family & friends, not dates.
Everything served is traditionally American Italian. The garlic knots (twists of bread slathered in garlic and butter and tomatoes and herbs) are off-menu and worth trying. The chicken Parmesan (which I just about always get), the mozzarella caprese, the baked rigatoni — all are classic and delicious. The wine list is serviceable, and the service is friendly.
I’d repeat here for a casual dinner with good friends.

We get take out pizza from Pazella’s all the time, which very tasty. And great family of owners who chat us up every time we go in. Cheesy decor though…
