If you are unfamiliar with Tony DiMaggio’s, then you are obviously new around here, because Tony’s is well known. I’ve a concept, a rule-of-thumb, if you will, when it comes to dining: “wherever the cops go to eat is where the food and service are consistently good.” I think you’ll find that this is reasonably true. [Note5: f you ever offer an alibi, such as “I was at Tony Di’Maggio’s da night of da incident,” then the cops will know you’re lying because they eat here all the time: “(Laughter)…What are you, a clown? Real funny, wise guy. We, the cops, were at Tony’s that night having the best stromboli. You, however, might have been at some clown convention…] Years and years ago, Tony himself (may he rest in peace) waited our table. I asked for my Stromboli with “sauce on the side and hold the mustard,” to which Tony replied, “Yours is to go. Your friends - they can stay. But, you, you’re going with your Stromboli, mister ‘hold the mustard,’” (“you little prick, you,” he must have thought). (My friends looked at me as if I was full of insults.) [My mistake, Tony. After all, what do I know about Stromboli except where to get the best?]
The best Italian spot in the bayarea by far. Very authentic. The main chef is a beatiful grandma that has been working there for over 30 years. The strombolis are next level. The service is amazing. Strongly recommend this place to anyone craving good pizza, lasagna, pasta etc...
Great little Italian restaurant located in South San Jose off of Monterrey Road. Best known for their Stromboli, this place serves traditional New York style Italian cuisine. I had the 8 inch meatball sandwich with cheese. The meatballs were light and flavorful and there was plenty of cheese and marinara sauce placed on top. My mom had the Rigatoni with meat sauce complimented with a side of garlic bread. Pasta was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be coming here in the future, and will be sure to try the Stromboli.
