Ancora Vino by Enoteca La Storia - San Jose, California

Algio e Olio was fantastic.

Yesterday I had de opportunity to try this place for the first time and I had a lovely lunchtime with great food and friendly service.

I choose the patio area to enjoy the nice weather and the place didn't disappoint: the atmosphere is great, you can enjoy the fresh air in an open space without the sun in your eyes.

I had:
- Spritz Bianco 12 (prosecco, limoncello, club soda, lemon wedge, rosemary)- Peroni Nasto Azzurro (Italian beer)

- Crostini Sampler (perfect to try a little bit of everything)
- Melanzane panini (Roasted eggplant, sweet red peppers, garlic, crimini mushrooms, thyme, rosemary & a melted 5 cheese blend on a toasted baguette)- Prosciutto Calzone (shredded mozzarella, whipped ricotta mixture, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, EVOO, fresh romano, parsley).

Everything was on point: temperature, flavor, texture, portions, and I'm still thinking about the dough's calzone with the different cheeses that I tasted.

My advice: go to this place with extra time so you can have the whole experience without using your meal, and let yourself be indulged by the staff (with their service and suggestions).

It was my first time in, and I was so surprised at how great this place is is! To start, our server let us sample the wines on the wine list before pouring, which was a fantastic way for us to decide which wine to pair with our food. I also liked that there was an option to choose a bottle out of their wine library. Our food was so delicious. We ordered off of their fixed price menu for Dine DTSJ week and my main course was the salmon, which was cooked so perfectly - crispy and caramelized on the outside and still juicy in the center. My boyfriend ordered the eggplant dish and it was delicious as well - he had no complaints. Also, our food came out nice and hot!

We will definitely be returning.

Always on my go-to Italian place list. I keep forgetting the name but what makes me keep coming back here is their pizza (bunch of mushroom/cheese, the honey at the bottom of the dough. Sweet&salty never fails).

What can you say about this place. THE BEST wine selection in San Jose easily. Amazing food, the pizza and charcuterie / cheese board were our favorites. Can not recommend this place enough.

Do not snooze on joining this very active wine club. There are multiple tastings a week and frequent wine club events at very reasonable prices!
The pizza is great here, and we're thrilled they've added pasta to the menu.
The bar offers a good beer selection, a few liquor cocktails, and a mind-boggling wine list, plus the bottle shop options.
Gratuity is built into the menu pricing. You can choose counter service (good for split checks) or opt for table service in the back.

Really great place for Italian bites and good wine selection. Service was great even though it got super busy for a Monday night. Would definitely go back and brings others. Casual atmosphere.

My husband and I visited on Saturday. Parking is limited, you may end up walking a couple of blocks. We came just for a glass of wine and a snack and stayed for a few glasses, pizza, and fries. The parmesan and truffle fries were outstanding! Nice and crisp fries with not too much truffle. We did half-and-half truffle and pepperoni pizza, very good! The crust is on the thinner side but well balanced, nice and chewy and delicious! Apple maps was getting a bit confused when I typed in the name of the restaurant, it wanted to take me to the Los Gatos location, I had to type in the address instead. The menu on the website is quite a bit different than what we experienced on Saturday, could be a difference between locations?
