San Francisco Bay Area

Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in the SF Bay Area (including Berkeley, Oakland, Napa, Sonoma, Marin, and San Jose)

Lunch in San Jose

I'll be visiting the Winchester House and will be looking for somewhere for lunch. Some place with a little atmosphere (and we'll have a 10 year old girl with us). Maybe Italian, upscale burgers, something like that. Thanks!

  1. A block up & on the opposite side is Santana Row, an upscale retail/entertainment/residence complex. Our favorite dining place here is Pizza Antica; wood fired pizza served in contemporary setting. Along with pizza, dd loves the cherry limeade & the warm cornmeal strawberry shortcake. If you want to stroll around & eat dessert elsewhere, there's Kara's cupcakes (our fave) or try Cocola Bakery right opposite Pizza Antica. For upscale burgers, there's the Counter (was good last time I had it at Palo Alto location but it's been a while).

      I second Pizza Antica, and Santana Row has lots of other choices too.

        The crust (flatbread-style) at Antica is not to my taste but I adore their gnocchi.

        If you want burgers, The Counter can't be beat. You pick your meat and how you want it cooked, plus 4 toppings, a cheese, and a sauce. Next door is Pluto's, a great casual option for salads. They make tri tip and sandwiches, but their salads are the best around in my opinion.
