San Francisco Restaurant Ssal Is Serving a Fried Chicken Tasting Menu | Eater SF

"The new Peninsula restaurant from the team behind Doppio Zero is now welcoming diners with a menu that skews toward Italian classics rather than the pizza longtime fans associate with the group. Chef de Cuisine Santiago Avila Gonzalez and corporate chef Antonio Inguscio are helming the kitchen, while co‑founder Angelo Sannino has tailored the wine menu alongside a slew of Negronis and Bellinis." - Paolo Bicchieri

I would like to leave an honest review , so this place will get a deserved at least 4.5 rating on Google. Food is just great, simple, southern Italian with a twist. The octopus carpaccio is 10 out of 10, ricotta with olives is a very soft and deep flavor combination . We ordered fettuccini (light pesto, and what important al-dente pasta ) and lasagna (same perfect one as in doppio zero) which were both great ! The ambience and the thought they put into creating this space is top notch. Definitely come and try, don’t let the soft opening reviews to fool you that this is not a great place. Ciao!

We had the most wonderful time for our family gathering at Johnny & Sanny’s by Doppio Zero. The restaurant itself was spacious with cool interior. The vibe was hip but somewhat warm and homey. The food was delicious and fresh, I personally love the branzino fish. The pasta was al dente, the kids favorite was the squid ink pasta. The pizzas were in different style, we love how thin and crispy it was with plenty of toppings. Don’t forget to try their burrata salad and beef carpaccio for antipasti , they were 👍👍 ! Our waitress was also very lovely and accommodating, overall very recommended 😊

This place is pretty new, so I think they’re still working out the kinks maybe? The food was fine. We tried the ricotta and olive appetizer (which didn’t have a ton of olives honestly) but was tasty. It took a long time for it to come out too. And for our entree we had the spicy sausage pasta, which was tasty but very basic. The food presentation didn’t match the upscale vibe of the restaurant if that makes sense. The staff is super friendly!!

I actually did like this place a lot & had recommended them to a number of other folks! But over the last few visits, my friends noted that they got more disorganized and understaffed, and started hurrying folks out and closing the kitchen earlier. The kicker though, is that we made a reservation for a large party through their system, but only found out when we got there that it seems they're no longer in business 😔 I wish they'd taken down the reservation system at the same time as they closed down, as the party had to scramble for last minute accommodations. It's too bad, since I did actually like the vibe & food here. I wish the owners & staff the best with their next steps, and hope they close the res system soon.

Nice new Italian place. Great atmosphere and friendly service. The cocktails are creative and beautiful and the food that I tried was delicious (broccolini) but I wish they had move vegan options.

Johnny & Sanny’s is easily the best Italian restaurant in Mountain View. Highly recommend the meatballs, Negroni, bucatini, and ravioli!

Very good food, except the pizza doesn’t hold a candle to Doppio Zero, its sister restaurant. You see that pizza oven in the back of Doppio Zero? It’s a magical oven. It makes a very fine pizza. The Pizza at this place is like what my roommate made in college. Pasta, appetizers and service at Johnny & Sanny’s is 🤌🏻.

Get here before 6 pm M-F so that you can order the happy hour wine by the glass $10, and get the pizzas for $6 off. They serve a special style of Roman pizza called pinsa: it's longer-fermented. But there are two problems: 1. The pizza is too thin. It should be thicker and light-as air, like how they do it at Montesacro in SF. 2. One pizza arrived with a crust gummy and undercooked. I was going to send it back, but I was too hungry and just ate it anyway. Since then I have asked for pizzas cooked longer, and the result is much better: - 4.7/5: I asked for the Salami pizza well-done, and it was excellent: light and puffy and awesome. Warning: The Calabrian chilles are very hot! Consider asking for only half the pizza to get the chilles. - 4.6/5: Castro pinsa: tomato sauce, moz, eggplant, basil pesto, Almost as good as montesacro. But the crust was undercooked and gummy. - 4.5: Margherita pinsa. Great flavor. But it's too flat; it's not puffy enough. Not as good as Montesacro in SF. - 3.0: Tiramisu is meh. Lacking in flavor. It's whipped-cream style. Not worth the calories.

An incredible addition to the neighborhood! A must-try! Came here for a soft opening and all I can say is "Wow!" This place is fantastic. From the moment we walked in, we had a lovely experience. We had the pleasure of meeting Angelo and Johnny, who were both incredibly welcoming and clearly passionate about what they're doing. For those familiar with the area, it's from the same great minds behind Doppio Zero, and you can see the commitment to quality here as well. The menu is full of classic Italian dishes that feel both comforting and elevated. We tried a few different things, and honestly, everything was delicious. You can just taste the quality of the ingredients and the care put into each dish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch, especially for a soft opening. I'm so excited to have Johnny & Sanny's in the neighborhood and will definitely be back soon to work my way through the rest of the menu. Highly recommended!

Lovely Italian/New American restaurant on Castro. Has a lot of class Italian dishes, and they sure are excellent! The Misto Fritto was fried very nicely, and the generous portion of calamari and shrimp were very crisp. The Gnocchi Lamb was delicious. The soft gnocchi fully absorbed all of the saucy flavours. The Bucatini was good, but nothing too special. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. We sat outdoors as it has a much more casual feel than the indoor seating. Sometimes at night they have a live DJ playing some music. It's a good vibe for sure, but I feel that the music is a tad loud sometimes. Great experience overall!

A lovely new place from a popular classic. We tried this recently and were glad we did! This new place by Doppio Zero is chic with a lot of delicious options. We were able to get a reservation for the same day. We were seated quickly. However, the noise inside was REALLY loud and so moved outside. The patio is perfect in October weather even without heaters. We got a fettuccine pasta with no meat, an Arugula salad, Margherita pizza and a pizza from their specials with zucchini, pesto and burrata cheese. Also got some house made lemonade. All the food was served warm, and the portions were perfect. The pasta was super delicious and so was the salad. We also enjoyed not the pizzas. Overall, Johnny and Sanny's had great food, friendly servers, quite a handful of vegetarian options that taste delicious. Definitely visiting again. Loved their outdoor seating!

This Italian/new American restaurant takes the place of Vida Tapas - same chic interior/bar, with outdoor seating along Castro street. Extensive wine and beer menu. I really enjoyed my red wine- the primitivo - complex and full bodied . So many things on the menu seemed intriguing. They were out of the kale salad, but the pair arugula salad was nice and refreshing. I always appreciate hot vegetables in the appetizers section and the broccolini were well flavored. The zucchini fries comes with a mountain of thin deep fried zucchini , made flavorful by the egg batter. Super delicious and addictive. We did not like the octopus carpaccio - the thin cuts were tender, but the dressing just didn't work . Lots of different pasta options- personally, I can never resist squid ink pasta- especially a seafood one. The squid ink pasta was tasty with a good amount of shrimp and mussels. They also have a few pizza options, and despite being owned by Doppio Zero , we didn't enjoy the pizza here which uses a thicker almost focaccia style like crust . The Marguerita pizza didnt have enough egg or sauce, yet the bread was soggy. The Branzino was a nice thick shareable cut (though bony a bit bony)- it also came with a side of broccolini, like a legit bowl , so we did end up with a lot of broccolini ! Always have to end a fun meal with dessert - couldn't decide between the crème brûlée or molten lava cake with ice cream ... had the latter and enjoyed it ! Service was o k Will be back soon !

Johnny and sannys is the new swanky sister restaurant of Doppio zero and it has a nice bar area and giant windows which extent to outdoor seating. Came by to try the happy hour to see how the vibes were and they were fantastic. One of my favorite new happy hour spots to hang out. We were given some nice fresh soft bread with butter. Got the meatballs and they were good size and the sauce is fantastic. We also got the fried eggplants and that was a giant plate and was worth the price. Recommend people to come back and try this place.

This place is a sister property of Doppio Zero just down the corner on Castro Street. I was surprised to see a similar menu. They do flatbreads instead of pizza and they both do pasta. However, at Johnny and Sanny's they have an amazing space with a wonderful bar in the middle. I have to give them kudos to having a nice beautiful bar in the middle of the restaurant overlooking the sliding glass doors looking outside the restaurant. Their cocktail menu has some very interesting drinks. However, its a hit and miss in terms of taste. Some are too sweet and some don't have the right mix of tastes. I did like the Mambo Italiano. Now for food - I actually thought the food was fantastic. The miso fritto, bucatini and salami flatbread. I love the atmosphere of this place and the cozy european vibe that it gives. Come here for a date night or with a group of people. Its a great place.

Super chill vibe -- nice enough for a proper dinner but still feels relaxed. The pasta and pizza are both really good, and the people there are genuinely friendly. We've been a few times now and it's been solid every time. Gets busy on weekends, so either go early or grab a reservation. Definitely worth adding to the list.

Sister restaurant of Doppio Zero with more of a focus on pastas and other things outside of pizza. Pretty spacious spot on Castro in MTV and they have both indoor and outdoor seating but low key it was super hot indoors cuz they didn't have AC on and it was just dead still air. They did end up turning on the AC for us though The bucatini was quite yummy. The sauce was very tangy tomato vibes and there was quite a lot of meat. The bucatini noodles were also a fun texture and it was super bouncy from the perfectly al dente cooking. The margherita pizza was quite yummy as well. The shape of the pizza was more like the Romanian style pinsa (think Montesacro in sf?). The bread was quite tasty and had the nice wood fire smokey flavour.

Walked by Johnny & Sanny, a new restaurant concept by Doppio Zero and really enjoyed it! Looking over the cocktail menu, we both found drinks that spoke to us and more importantly, both of us really enjoyed our choices! For our starter, we went with the fried zucchini which was delivered as a small haystack. We both liked how it was lightly crispy and not over fried. The lemony aioli with the ample amount of cheese also gave each bite a nice acidity with some nutty salty undertones. For entrees, boyfriend got the lasagna which was delicate but very fresh. That tomato sauce was really tasty! I got the branzino which was a show stopper. It was so tender! The garlic lemon olive oil and the fried basil were also perfect accompaniments to each bite. Yes, there are bones to work through but it wasn't terribly difficult to pick out in my opinion. I would absolutely recommend it. There were definitely other options that sounded very good in my opinion. Johnny and Sanny's has that really nice Californian Italian vibe. Plus, sitting outside on a warm MV evening? Sprinkles on top.

I came hear for my birthday dinner and it was a very beautiful restaurant and kept very clean i loved the ambiance and so did the rest of my party. The service was friendly as well. The food was delicious we got the carpaccio octopus and it was so flavorful. I also got the truffle fettuccine and it was so rich with flavors. Everyone loved their food I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area and you want Italian but with a twist.

Pretty solid food with great happy hour deals!!! So many cheap appetizers that are very filling; I could eat them as an entree. I loved the grandma's meatballs and fried calamari appetizers. For entrees, the rib eye steak was definitely my favorite. I wasn't the biggest fan of the chicken parm or carbonara. I've definitely had better. The sides of broccolini and garlic fries were so yum and addicting to eat! Service was great!! We were checked up on and they helped us rearrange the table to fit all the food. The place itself was so clean and a great date night spot in downtown mountain view.

Step into retro Italian supper club vibes here, a brand new gem in downtown Mountain View. The interior is simply gorgeous. I love the different themes in the different areas of the restaurant, especially the room projecting a retro black & white movie while you dine. Pasta is a must! We ordered the chef's favorites Grandmother Lasagna, loved the layers and strong and flavorful tomato sauce. Sanny's Mafaldine was spicy and rich, the squiggly noodles picked up the sauces so well. I also really enjoyed my drink- Meloncello (gin, melon liqueur, & various fruits) plus it's so fun watching the bartenders make the drinks We ended on a high note with their fluffy and creamy tiramisu. Whether it's a date night or girls' night, this spot is seriously bringing Italy to the Bay.

Very very friendly staff - hosts, waiters, and cleanup crew kept checking in with us in a genuine friendly matter. We went for some appetizers around 6:45PM on a Wednesday night with no wait. Restaurant has a really nice interior and cute outdoor seating options Would highly recommend for a late night outing with friends or date night!

Huge fan of Doppio Zero so was quite excited to see that they opened up a new restaurant on Castro Street! Came here for happy hour, thought the deals were terrific. I had the broccolini crostino and little gem salad, both of which were quite solid. Also appreciated the bread basket on the house. Attentive service, and really cute decor inside the restaurant. Curious to try their main dishes to see how it compares to DZ!

Super friendly and nice employees. It was day 6 for them when we came by. We had outdoor seating and the patio heater was lit when we sat down but then it went out. We were at the end of our meal but they happily moved a new tank and relit it for us. We had the malfadine carbonara, it's their homemade, long curly ribbon shaped pasta with ruffled edges to hold the sauce better. The homemade noodles had a little bite to it. It wasn't too soft or too heavy. The carbonara sauce was ok. It was made from guanciale - pork. It's soft not crispy like bacon or pancetta. I've tried for years to get my carbonara sauce just right. The carbonara sauce here was good, not lumpy. I don't think the flavor was strong enough for me. They added cheese at the table but I like a lot of cheese and pepper. The malfadine con salsiccia was spicy sausage, Calabrian chilies, tomato topped with basil ricotta was not overly spicy. The noodles were different from most pasta places. It was good. Neither dish was so great that we had to come back and have it again but we would try other dishes. My son loved his chicken parmigiana and I actually preferred his side of spaghetti over my carbonara and lucky me, he preferred my carbonara more than his side of spaghetti. The lava cake was normal lava cake with ice cream. We like the pink packets of sweet & low for our ice tea. They thought they had it but they did not and gave us an option to switch drinks but we stayed with the yellow Splenda. If you drink iced tea with a sweetener, you can taste the difference. Super great crew! No specials since they just open. We hope to come back.

Food our party of 4 ordered: -calamari (came out nice & hot, batter was light & crispy but maybe missing a lil seasoning so the aioli added a nice flavor) -chicken Milanese (crispy & tender but lacked a lil flavor for me) -chicken parm (good amount of sauce & cheese, really tasty) -malfadine (with spicy sausage; served with spinach ricotta & delicious) Service was great, Nick was very attentive & helpful. Loved the decor, it's modern chic. Will definitely be back to try the other apps & entrees I was eyeing!

Ambiance is great. Location is easy to access, but you will be hearing the caltrain go by if you sit outside. Service isn't bad, but: - they didnt bring olive oil to enjoy with the bread. only butter.. which felt interesting, given this is an Italian place - seafood pasta was so underseasoned I actually asked for salt - friend got a chicken entree (can't remember which one), and they didn't ask her which side she wanted to pick from the options listed in the menu - price is pretty steep Given this, not sure I'd return.

Amazing interior and cute wall of bottles. Great service as well. The only issue was the food itself. I had a lot higher standards as there was a sign here doppio zero advertising to head to this location for the same food. The pizzas were so incredibly bland?? The pasta and salad was the only redeeming quality.

Yelp
I'm a huge fan of Doppio Zero so I was excited to try their sister restaurant. AMBIANCE: Near same terrace + interior as the previous spot (Vida Tapas y Cocteles). I've only ever eaten on the terrace which is wonderful. The interior is cute with nice decor and clean spaces. I believe reservations are needed for larger groups (maybe over 6?) but I haven't needed a reservation for a party of 2-3, even on a weekend. SERVICE: Nothing spectacular nor bad to note here. The staff didn't check in very often nor had any particular recommendations for us when ordering. However, nothing of bad nature to note either. Just neutral. FOOD: While I love Doppio Zero's dishes, here were my thoughts on what we tried. 5/5 - Ravioli: Really liked these mushroom ravioli and its sauce. No notes! 3/5 - Sofia Loren Pizza: This pizza was alright, but the buratta topping seemed like an afterthought. I would've added an olive oil drizzle, a flakey salt, or something to have this cheese pop more in the pizza. 3/5 - Zucchini Fries: These were cut way too thin in my opinion. They weren't able to really retain any of the aioli sauce and the breading felt like it was "falling off the bone". 2/5 - Croquettes: My least favorite of what we ordered. The inside didn't feel warm and I thought the cheese (?) didn't complement the mushroom filling flavor. This is definitely pricey, at $140 w/ tax + tip for a party of 3 (w/ 1 drink). I'm eager to see if their menu or service improves, and I'll come back to update my review.

Wow! So the previous restaurant in this location was awful so I'm not surprised it's gone. I didn't have the highest of hopes for this new place until I saw it's by the Doppio Zero guys. Very pleasantly surprised. The pasta was fresh, the sauces were delicious, the bread was amazing. Service was also excellent. Their menu is what I would call new or Californian Italian. Loved everything we tried here. Will definitely be returning!

Honestly I've been twice and I'm already dreaming of going back. I want to try everything on the menu. Spanning our visits so far we've tried the garlic bread, brussetta, fries (for my 3 yr old ), brussel sprouts , Caesar salad, carbonara, spaghetti meatball, casarecce, mafaldine con salsiccia and the eggplant parm. Really almost everything has been good. Standouts for me : Malfalfine con salsiccia -- sauce is so delicious I'm honestly wishing I had some right now. Casarecce-- I expected to love the carbonara more but the rich flavor from the truffle was awesome. Brussetta -- so much flavor Lowlights-- the Brussels sprouts were kinda meh. Service and atmosphere were great. I love the old movies in the background with the oldies playing.

A friend and I stopped by to try out this new restaurant to Castro St. We were welcomed by the staff who were friendly and attentive. We were seated near the back in the booths which was a fun setting. My friend and I ordered zucchini fries which came with a basil aioli and the funghi pizza. The fries were fun to eat but were a bit soggy which isn't too surprising. The pizza was disappointing as the dough ratio to the toppings were off and a bit disappointing.

This place was excellent. Better than Doppio Zero, yet owned by the same people. These owners opened a second restaurant serving the same type of food two doors down from their other restaurant. Thus poaching their own customers. How dumb. Sorry this is just plain dumb. And now they've soured a customer they could have had. I have no desire to ever go back to Doppio Zero, and while I would have gone back to Johnny & Sandy's I'll never get to because the just closed it forever.

Hmm, hopefully they're still just experiencing startup issues, but I was very underwhelmed by the food and most drinks here. We ordered the zucchini fries, which were extremely limp and not crisp at all. The ravioli was pretty good (hard to go wrong honestly). The branzino was...ok, but the skin was also soft and not crispy, while the flavors were just meh. We also got two drinks each, and the only one that was good was the Rosso Vesuvio. Moonlight was pretty meh, while La Dolce Vita and Mambo Italiano were not just meh but served weirdly warm. I was very disappointed by the food and drinks given their association with Doppio Zero, which is usually great. The service was weird too. Our waitress kept looking at us but not being helpful? Like she surely saw that we were out of water or had finished with the zucchini fries, but chose not to refill the water or take away the fry plate to make room on the table. We also received the ravioli and branzino at the same time, which was disappointing given that we had asked for the dishes to be coursed out, though it wasn't a big enough deal to bring up. The space looks nice. If they can get their act together and make the food and drinks taste better, it'll be a decent dinner spot.

Delicious food here with friendly service. Our family of 8 enjoyed an unplanned Sunday lunch here and left super full and happy!

I've eaten here and ordered delivery from them and been extremely satisfied but suddenly find that they're closed. I called their sister restaurant (DOPIO ZERO) and asked but couldn't get a reason or any encouragement that they will reopen. I'm very disappointed. We like Dopio Zero, but this was a step up and seemed to be a busy place.

An extension of the wonderful Doppio Zero, I was invited for an event they hosted for meeting planners and I was lucky to meet one of the owners, Johnny (Gianni). Johnny was very friendly as well as his staff that were working. Maria was our server and she helped guide us along on what drinks to try. We tried the: - Pornstar (don't care for the name but this was a crowd fave! Nice and foamy - La Dolce Vita (old fashioned with a banana twist. The banana syrup softens the bite without being too sweet) - Meloncello - so so good. - Lychee Amore - among those listed above, this one is eclipsed by the others. It's tasty but I'd rather try the ones above before I tried this one As for the food, we tried: - Zucchini fries - so good by itself, I love the shoestring style - Broccolini Crostini - nice and herby, a nice switch from the typical bruschetta - Grandmother meatballs - I liked the sauce in this one, my friends didn't care for it - Saffron Risotto - this was my favorite and I'm not a huge risotto fan so this was a nice surprise hit - Ravioli - nice umami and I liked the cheesy sauce it came with - Croquettes - can be a little salty but I liked the cheese sauce that came with it - Castro pizza - I'm not a huge fan of eggplant which is the main component here so I ate around it and it was good The restaurant has lots of ample seating inside as well as outside. For optimal experience, I suggest sitting either at the bar for a couple or in front of the alcohol wall for best vibes.

Let's talk about the good before I go into why J&S gets only 3 stars. This new concept from the minds of Doppio Zero's owners looks inviting, modern, and impressive. For the most part, the food is nicely prepared, presented well, and very good tasting. The Zucchini fries were light and delicious, being accompanied with lemon basil aioli. The Bucatini and Ravioli were delicious as well. The "Castro" pizza was a bit bland IMHO. The flatbread itself was a bit underwhelming. Opened since May 2, 2025, I am having a hard time trying to understand why DZ is always crowded and this place, not. My pet peeves heavily influence the number of stars I deduct from a review. 1. I noticed a difference in the length of the seats where we sat and what was across from us. The other dining area's "couch" extended to the opening that led to the bathroom and other dining areas. Our "couch" was quite a bit short, exposing much of the wall behind it. 2. I think the staff needs a bit more training, etc. Our entrees arrived at the same time as our appetizer (Zucchini fries). Huh? Were you trying to rush us out? I ask because the restaurant was not full the time we were there. 3. When our pastas were being served, no one bothered to ask if we wanted any freshly grated cheese. Based on what we saw on the Zucchini fries, freshly grated cheese was available. During our meal, we did ask for cheese; we were given a shaker full of Parmesan cheese. I know we had ordered a pizza, but someone should have known we had pasta as well. 4. Most restaurants are very attentive regarding the replenishment of iced tea drinks. This was not the case here. I set up a test to confirm this. After finishing my iced tea, I asked my wife to flag down our server. She arrived and my wife asked her for a new glass of iced tea. Instead of observing mines was empty and asking if I wanted a refill, the server simply left to get a new iced tea for my wife.

Was excited to try this new Italian entrant in Mountain View. However the dishes were meh. Chicken parm wasn't crispy and a bit one note on the flavor side. Caprese lacked the fruity tomato flavor that makes the dish shine. Tiramisu also just ok. Service was still new and inexperienced.

Fresh housemade pastas, fresh dough oblong pizzas, and nice glasses of wine. Newest of the 3 new restaurants I tried this past weekend. Just opened May 2nd. 4.25 stars Food 4.25 Service: 4.25 Atmosphere 4.5 Cost to worth it ratio: 3 (starters ~$15, pizzas ~$20, pastas ~$26, entrees ~$30) Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Mafaldine con salsiccia: super spicy sausage packs a punch and one of my gave curly edged noodles and dollop of ricotta on top reminded me of a deconstructed lasagna like pasta 4.25 stars - Arancini 2 crispy decent sized ovals with a gooey cheesy center. Liked that it was on a bed of arugula to cut the friedness. 4.25 stars - Margherita pizza: puffy oblong crust with a crispy bottom. More cheese than a standard margherita but who's complaining about an excess of cheese? 4 stars - Fettuccine: I choose vodka sauce which was pretty good version with decent flavor, but could've used a bit more umph. 4 stars - Wine: Italian and Californian with good selection by the glass with generous pours. I loved my glasses of vermentivo (light and bright--almost like a vinho verde) and primitivo (same grape as a zinfandel). - Menu: had classics and no pastas that were overly fancy and also sandwiches for any appetite. - Waiter: Nick was efficient and had good recommendations. - Fun decor with old signs on the wall about cocktails for some whimsicalness, stunning bright backlit wall of liquor by the bar, and a saying by the reception saying "life is a combination of magic and pasta." Midlights: - Fettuccine on the menu is written as "a medley of sauces" giving the impression it came with all which seemed suspect but cool cause I like variety. Turns out there's no coolness: you just pick 1 of them. - Chicken added to the fettuccine was a small portion of super small squares. - No gluten free pasta options noted on the menu and many non-pasta items are breaded Lowlights: - Dance club music on a Sunday night didn't match the theme, decor, and vibe of the place. Loved that we have a place with housemade pasta close to us and will be back with friends to try more--and some of the classic protein entrees too (piccata, parmesan, etc).

Really solid Italian food!! Fried zucchini w that lemon aioli is a must get. Lamb gnocchi was perfect, and my girlfriend's pasta special was also very tasty. Was too stuffed for dessert, but it looked amazing. Will be back since I live a few blocks away.

Service 4/5: waitress was prompt and very nice, but never told us the specials (we overheard them being told to the table next to us after we'd already ordered), which was disappointing given it was pretty slow the night we came in. Food 3/5: arancini tasted like frozen fried food, pretty bland. Chicken parm was good, spaghetti was great. Pizza was just okay. Drinks 4/5: my husband had the Negroni which was good and I had a glass of wine which was also good. Cocktail menu wasn't my favorite, lots of sweet and vacation-like drinks.

Great food, and even greater service. My wife felt she wanted a bit more salt on her pasta dish, and as soon as the host noted she was adding salt to her dish, he came over and offered to redo the dish even though we told him it was fine and we just liked it a bit more salty. Later the manager/owner (a very friendly Italian fellow) gave us a new pasta dish that was just perfect. When restaurants go to this extent to ensure their customers like their food, it says a lot about the care and quality of the place. Very comfortable setting, with nice indoor and outdoor seatings. Our new favorite place for Italian food in the area.

Truly an undiscovered gem in Mountain View. We were there twice in our week long stay in MV. Our first visit was so good we said "we have to come back to this place and we did. The food was excellent as was the service. All of their pastas are house made. On our first visit Ana took care of us. George took care of us on our second. Everyone at our table enjoyed everything we ordered. The Frito Misto was an ample portion, enough to share. The ingredients were lightly breaded and fried. Not at all greasy. Same comments for the garlic fries and the fried zucchini. Grandmas meatballs were amazing. Maybe the best marinara we have had in a restaurant. Great lasagna, thin noodles. Salmon, saffron risotto and gnocchi were also very good. We enjoyed the Grandmas meat balls so much that on our second visit we asked if they could take an order of the meatballs, with the sauce, and put it on top some plain fettuccine. No problem. It was wonderful. We asked for more bread so we could sop up all the wonderful sauces. We wish the best for this restaurant. We want it to be there the next time we are in Mountain View.

Came here with a big group for a bachelorette party, so take it with a grain of salt. The restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday evening, but service was quite slow. We essentially ordered one of each appetizer, but they were underwhelming and largely not memorable. The zucchini fries were seasoned well but soggy when they hit the table. I got the fettuccine as a main dish because I'm a sucker for fresh pasta. The pasta itself was fine, but pesto was so bland. I ended up taking it home and augmenting with homemade pesto. Much improved. Overall kind of a meh experience. Not the worst, not the best.

A great experience at Johnny & Sanny's! Food was fantastic and the service was special, led by Ana from Columbia. The Garganelli was one of the best pasta dishes I have eaten, so tasty and perfectly seasoned. My wife loved her salmone, cooked perfectly and delicious. We have found our Italian restaurant in in Mountain View/Sunnyvale!

Very friendly & inviting staff. We were drawn to the ambiance. We came for the dranks, stayed for the food. Thanks for the super service & great cocktails, Jesus! Great to meet Marco & Eric. We plan to return for round 2 soon! (I'm not an Italian food connoisseur but I will just say I enjoyed my fettuccini dish.)

Nice looking restaurant with good service. Makes it a pleasant evening but the food just fell short. I appreciate the fresh made pasta but the sauce was underwhelming. We got the fettuccine with pesto and bucatini with pork ragu. Flavors just weren't there. Other dishes: garlic fries - not very crispy, fried calamari- also not very crispy, branzino - tasted a bit fishy, margarita pizza and San Loren pizza - not very tasty, lacking cheese and flavor.

Discovered this place through Yelp when we were searching for a date night to celebrate our anniversary. My boyfriend and I decided to come here for our anniversary. The restaurant is beautiful: we were seated in the back what they refer to the movie room. First off, when we got to the table they had a hand written note congratulating us on our three years; such a thoughtful detail. Our server Nick provided awesome customer service - he was helpful and attentive. We ended up getting two different mocktails and they were delicious. We tried the the that's amore (tasted like strawberry) and island nectar (more tropical) both 10/10, not overly sweet. We started off with the warm bread they serve and the garlic fries - both were great. For dinner I got the fettuccine Alfredo (they have many options for vegetarians) and it was perfectly cooked al dente and it was creamy. My boyfriend got the rib eye with spaghetti and he enjoyed his meal. As an anniversary gift they gave us tiramisu and it was perfect. Highly recommend checking this restaurant out; lots of food options, flavorful food, reasonably priced, great customer service and it's beautiful!
