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.

See all of my reviews on Yelp.
