"It started at Santana Row's Fitoor, with fantastic Indian dishes presented in ways that reflected the chef's cruise ship experience, and ended with the revival of Charlie Rose Baseball, with its baseball gloves brilliantly dyed to match gourmet sunflower seed cans. We had some dazzlingly hot chicken at Scratch Cookery, ate pizza and meatball sliders while watching corporate team building exercises at Campo di Bocce of Los Gatos."
"Founded in 1977, this family-owned business is still going strong following that setback and a similar dark moment when Tony himself died in 2012. Pizza is in the name, and they are epic, but the go-to dish here is the stromboli, a combination of ham, salami, American and mozzarella cheese, and a touch of yellow mustard, all wrapped in dough, baked and topped with a remarkable red sauce made fresh every day in a 20-gallon pot."
