    The service provided by Lawrence was excellent. He guided us through the menu, however the food was meh. The octopus was blend not authentic Mediterranean. I would definitely give it another try next time but I was not impressed. I know it’s a new restaurant and they probably still working things out. The best drink was the peanut butter.

    I recently dined at Rollati Ristorante with my team, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional, with perfectly portioned dishes that were just right—not too overwhelming. The standout for us was the thousand-layer lasagna, which was absolutely delicious and beautifully made. The clam pizza was another highlight—so flavorful and well-executed. For dessert, we had the tiramisu cake, which was a pleasant surprise. It wasn’t overly sweet, striking the perfect balance and rounding off the meal perfectly. The ambiance of the restaurant is stunning, with a beautifully designed space that adds to the overall dining experience. On top of that, the service was excellent—attentive and friendly throughout the time we were there. We loved every bit of our time at Rollati Ristorante and will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this place for a memorable meal.

    Hailey was our server. She was great. Gave lots of food recommendations and very insightful. Hope everyone can get yourself a ‘Hailey’ when you come here. Food was great, a little salty buti think it was just an accumulation of everything on our plate. Prime rib is bomb. Dont skip out on it.

    We had a lovely window table in a restaurant that was festively decorated for the holidays. The service was attentive and the food was delicious. I had the blackened salmon and scampi with asparagus and whipped potatoes. I do wish they had a more extensive wine by the glass list, but they probably prefer that you purchase a bottle. There are not many fine dining options in downtown San Jose so I’m glad that Scott’s has been able to stay in business.
