Organic Italian Cuisine… Melts in your mouth! I have been here about 5 times now and have always been impressed with the experience. Nice ambiance, good selection of wines, appetizers and entrees are perfectly proportioned, and always freshly made with exquisite attention to detail. My current favorite dish is the seared scallops with risotto. My gf loves their vegetarian pasta, and sometimes adds an extra ingredient or two. And you can never go wrong with the burrata appetizer. Authentic fresh organic Italian at Tigelleria is so delicious!.. My tastebuds are starting to water as I am writing this. Keep up the great work. Dinner at Tigelleria is easily the highlight of my week!

I loooooove this place. It’s so cute. I was craving carpaccio really bad and it was delicious here. They also serve this round tigelleria bread instead of normal bread. Delicious. Then of course I got gelato for dessert. The white chocolate chip mint and dark chocolate were divine the strawberry blueberry one was good too but the other two were my favorites. Plus, everyone was so friendly here! The hostess places me in a seat where I could watch the movie projection on the way because I was eating by myself. Vanessa was such a sweet server too. Everything was perfect. Will come here again and bring people too!

I was underwhelmed. It was not busy and yet the service was terribly inattentive. The waitress finally came to take an order almost 15 min after being seated and never asked us for a drinks — she just jumped into what we wanted for dinner and we had to prompt her that we wanted drinks to go with it. She checked on us once after we got our meals and then disappeared until the end. She never came to check to see how we were doing with our meals or check if we needed more water or drinks, which we did. We would have flagged her down but she was literally not to be seen. The food was also just ok. It was bland and I’ll likely never go back again.

Had a great meal here and a terrific experience. Started with the caprese and then my wife and I split the crab & shrimp gnocchi and wild boar ravioli. It was all wonderfully prepared and delicious with our wine. We finished off with the hazelnut mousse, which was quite a treat. The staff was attentive and courteous which made for a great experience. We’ll absolutely be back!

I would come back for the free bread with the hummus, pesto, and jalapeño. Dang that is good. Zucchini appetizer was pleasant, we were too busy fighting over the free bread lol. My friend had Pollo, she was pleased with her dish. Branzino in crosta if you like salt, this is your dish. The crust is for seasoning don’t eat the crust. It’s like they give you a wet paint sign. It’s pure salt. They have good tea, I like having the whole pot. Service was mediocre, we went when it was empty so that worked out. I just want to promote organic options in the area. I think I’ll come back for the snacks at happy hour to save a buck. 4 stars

We recently tried enjoying Tigelleria as take-out and wow what a treat! You really can’t find better quality, delicious, well-made food in the area. We feel it is priced appropriately and never leaves us feeling like we should have just cooked at home. It is an added joy knowing it is organic, homemade pasta and quality ingredients. We recommend Tigelleria for lunch, dinner and even takeout.

Really, I’d give this place 2.5 stars, but because I see so much potential in Tigelleria, and also because they’re organic, I rounded it up to 3. The food here deserves an A for presentation, but the menu is hit and miss for taste. We had a big hit with the raviolis. Be prepared to pay premium price, about $ 2 – 3 per ravioli. The veggie sides, and we tried almost every one, were not impressive and we even had to send back the porcini mushrooms which were served to us rotten. All of the dishes just simply lack luster and the charm that would want to bring me back, given the price that you pay. Also, the setup is a little odd. You walk right into the seating area with the bar off to the right. At first when we walked in we just stood in the entryway expecting someone to greet us, but no one did; at least not until we finally walked to the bar(literally 5 feet away,) did someone finally help us. I thought maybe we were just not informed, but I watched as 5 other groups of people entered in after us and all had the same problem. The entryway is fine, but please just greet your guests as they enter — that would make it so much easier and definitely friendlier! The service was also a little bit hit and miss. The table next to us had half of their meal discounted for an entrée executed poorly, but our server only offered an apology at serving us a spoiled side dish and then charged us for the replacement side. Tigelleria has the right idea using the organic movement to draw people, as well as a great location and sophisticated décor. However, I feel their experiencing the pains of a new business with the poorly executed dishes, servers and bussers that seem to be a bit scattered and a staff that is not motivated. I’d be willing to give it a try again in a few months, after some of the kinks have been ironed out… but even then, there will probably be a dozen other restaurants on my list.

Very rude bartender tonight informed me that they’ve changed their happy hour offerings and«we just haven’t had time to update the web site». I drove a long way to get here tonight, and walked out without enjoying my beloved burrata. Thankfully there are dozens of good restaurants within walking distance with friendly staff. This was the last time I will be at this one.

This place is OVERPRICED! If you would like an extremely small plate of food with a pretty hefty tab, than this IS your spot. Those who are looking for delicious, tasteful, mouth-watery food this is NOT the place for you. I had a tomato salad, which was ridiculous $ 15.00 for a plate of one tomato sliced and mozzarella cheese in between, I laughed when I received my plate. I have never seen anything like it, but of course, their emphasis is on «organic food». I gave it two stars, because we had a really nice sitting area, and the waiter was super nice. But this is not a place I would go to again.

Tasty home-style Italian cooking. I’m extremely gluten sensitive to cross-contamination and I think I barely got symptoms after eating here, which is hard for most places to achieve without being entirely gluten free. The reason why I can’t be 100% certain is that I get blisters(dyshidrosis) from gluten and the effect starts a few hours after ingesting and may last a few days, so it’s hard to pinpoint which meal exactly it comes from, but, based on my experience, I would say this place is probably a good choice for celiacs.

It’s a small restaurant located in a quiet area in Campbell. The décor is fantastic and is a great place for folks to gather and have some quiet time together and enjoy good food. They give you free english-muffin shaped bread with three types of sauces. Beware! This bread is highly addictive and before you know it, you can get pretty full just eating them. We had burrata and polpettine in salsa for appetizers. Both were fantastic! The waiter recommended Kith & Kin cabernet to go with our appetizers and entrees. The wine was excellent and before we knew it, we had downed 2 bottles between two of us. I had the chitarre con chianti di pane — pasta with zucchini and tomatoes sprinkled with bread crumbs. The pasta was good and very filling. Unfortunately between the bread, appetizers and the pasta, I did not have room to try the dessert. Next time, I plan to pace myself and finish the dessert round. Highly recommended!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This is my new favorite Italian restaurant. The service was great the food was out of this world amazing. I had the crab and shrimp gnocchi. One of the best gnocchi’s I’ve ever had. They made the consistency and texture so perfect. The flavor of the dish and the sauce ratio was just right. The best part of our meal was the Pistachio Crème Brulee. They use real pistachios!

Love this quaint little Italian restaurant! I was surprised to see Tigelleria was packed, even on a Tuesday night! The inside of the restaurant is very quaint and cozy and most of the staff seem to be Italian. Definitely makes like you feel like you could actually be in Italy. We were brought warm bread and water right away. Several members of the wait staff checked on us throughout the evening, making sure we had what we needed. We started with the Kale salad and the burrata appetizer, both of which were delicious(though I was partial to the burrata). For my main course I got the fettuccine al pesto, it was tough to choose since so many of the pasta dishes looked good, I was happy with my choice though. Can’t wait to go back and try some of the other pasta dishes! My husband got the special of the day which was grilled scallops with white corn polenta and radicchio, a great dish with an amazing sauce. For dessert we got the cuore di cioccolato caldo which we enjoyed with their cute little heart shaped dessert spoons, so cute! They do have a small private lot in the back, but I don’t think it has more than a dozen spots so you will probably have better luck parking elsewhere. We are already planning our next visit, I think my Italian mother in law would love this place!

This restaurant is just ok for me. My husband and I came here tonight to try out their fresh pasta dishes, we were adamant since the average prices of the pasta entrees were $ 24 each. The service was slow and our waiter with the Italian accent sneezed while taking our order and wiped his hand on his pants and then grabbed our menus right after. We weren’t sure if he washed his hands and threw the menu away after. I ordered the ravioli with wild boar and my husband ordered the pasta with duck ragu. Both had good flavors but it wasn’t mind blowing for it being organic fresh made pasta. The ravioli was a little too hard and I love al dente pasta. The octopus carpaccio and seabass ceviche like appetizers were pretty good. The salad dressing over powered the flavor of octopus. We’ve had better. Overall experience was«just ok» the waiter sneezing kinda killed the mood too. He didn’t even apologize or say excuse me right after.

My expectations were set high because of the positive Unilocal reviews. Don’t. Food and service were both subpar. Food: Giuseppe Verdi(3⁄5): The cutting boards were so highly rated so I ordered $ 38 worth of what my waitress said was the most popular one. 2 meats out of 3 were good, the 3rd was really bland. I only liked the aged cheese that was served. The other one was really bland too. I’m not an expert in cured meat and cheese so I unfortunately cannot tell you what the names of these are exactly, and the waitress did not care to explain what was what. something that I expect out of a pricey, somewhat upscale restaurant. Risotto Al Nero Di Seppia aka Squid ink pasta with clams and mussels(3⁄5): Caveat — the only place I’ve ever had squid ink pasta was in Venice, Italy. It was amazing. I don’t know if I can ever find such amazing squid ink pasta again. This dish did not even come close. Even my sister, who has never before had squid ink pasta/couldn’t compare to Venetian pasta, thought it was too bland. I had to TRY to taste the squid ink /white wine, if that makes sense. After 2 bites, it tastes like nothing. Swordfish special with risotto(3⁄5): The swordfish was stuffed with clams and mussels and it came with a side of risotto. Fish was ok, nothing special. Risotto was soooo cheesy. If you love parmesan cheese like no other, you may love this. But it was just too much for us. Costine Di Agnello(3⁄5): I’ve had much better lamb. This one was not that tender. The side of apples were really interesting though. Pistachio crème brûlée(4⁄5): The best dish of the night. I like that the bowl was shallow which increased the glaze: cream ratio. Serving was also larger than normal crème brûlée servings. Maybe 5 – 6 inches in diameter? Service: bad. Waitress: When I ask what food is most popular /what you recommend, it would help if you didn’t point out 5⁄7 things. That doesn’t help at all. She also seemed very unconfident when she was speaking. Also, slowish service, not attentive. Busboy: Was it his first day? Very clumsy when replacing our used plates with the new.

Despite all the high rated reviews, I was rather disappointed. I was craving Italian food and decided to give this place a go since I was nearby. From all the pictures, the wild boar ravioli seemed like a popular dish and from looking at the menu, the lamb chops seemed like a good choice. We went with those two dishes and it simply didn’t live up to the hype. The ravioli was under cooked… the pasta itself was hard. The lamb wasn’t memorable at all. I remember telling my boyfriend that the lamb at Disneyland was better than this(a friggin amusement park). Service wasn’t great either and it was a slow night. Our server didn’t check on us once. I had to flag him down for a check. I wouldn’t come back and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it. My search for a fine Italian establishment will continue.

AWESOME, awesome place. Great service, good food, cute ambiance. We wanted to hit up Aldo’s and found it was closed so we meandered back to Campbell. Rolled through downtown and noticed this place wasn’t that full so we walked in. First thing on the menu: Burrata. That is one of my absolute favorite cheeses! Anywho… walked in and were greeted by very busy waiters but were taken care of right away. We were led to our table for 2 and got a chance to look around. The place is decorated in a very eclectic way: random lamps, interesting art, etc. None of the pieces really match but it works really well. There was a movie playing on the projector: Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Our waiter was great! He was very attentive and gave some recommendations and what not. We ordered a drink and some food. Don’t remember what the Mr had but I do remember it being pretty strong. We ordered the burrata. That was just… divine. I ordered the housemade ravioli with wild boar. He ordered the seared scallops. Both dishes were amazing. The ravioli was beautifully done. It looked like it had been braided. His scallops were very tasty and flavorful. The risotto that came with it had a great taste though I think the texture could have been a little better. We gobbled up our food and moved on to dessert. Normally, we get one dessert and share. This time, he wanted his own. We ordered the first one on the menu which is: crushed meringue cookies with frozen cream, chunks of dark chocolate. and something else I don’t remember. We also ordered the organic banana with dark chocolate dessert. Both were rich and delicious. We ate everything that came to us and happily rolled our way out of the restaurant. We’ll be coming back for sure. They have charcuterie platters that we didn’t get to try this time around.

We got the combination cutting board, and oh my god was it worth the money. From what I saw, you get a pretty significant portion compared to their normal cutting boards, and you get to try out their entire selection of cured meats and cheese(grilled vegetables were a so-so, good palate cleanser if anything, but who’s going there for the vegetables anyway). I loved trying all of the different combinations of the meat and cheese. All in all, delicious meal.

Came here for an early bday dinner with the beau. There’s a private parking in the back of the restaurant but it only has like 7 spots. There are also street parking as well. We got there at 5:45pm and they just opened at 5:30pm so we were one of the first ones there. By the time we left, the place was fairly pack. Got seated right when we walked in and the service was nice a friendly. It was a little slow in the end as the restaurant got busy, but our server made sure to check on us and got us everything we needed. Water, bread and 3 sauces were brought out after we were seated. Items order: Appitizer: Carpaccio di Polipo — This dish was okay. If they use a little less lime juice it would have made the dish better. All we tasted was the lime juice. The octopus, however, was cook well… not rubbery and it was pretty tender. Main Dishes: Fettuccine al nero di seppia — Squid ink pasta with clams and mussels. Yummy. The squid ink pasta didn’t taste like it was fresh made(maybe dried pasta) but the clams and mussels were very fresh. The dish tasted pretty yummy. It’s not the best I’ve had, but it wasn’t bad at all. Tagliata alla salsine — The steak was season and cooked to perfection. Tender, juicy and full of flavors. I highly recommend this dish. It also came with potatoes and 3 different sauces. Dessert: Panna cotta al pistacchio — not the best I’ve had but it was pretty good. It was a little sweet with the syrup that it came with and the texture is like the inside of a crème brûlée. The ones I’ve had in the past wasn’t as soft and I think its better that way. Overall, we both enjoyed our experience here and will definitely come back here to try other items on the menu. Come early and make reservations are my recommendations.
