Editorial Review for Campbell Mio Vicino – by
A cozy welcome to "my neighborhood."
The Food
Mio Vicino means "my neighborhood" in Italian, and that about sums up the kind of place Mio Vicino is trying to be. Pastas sometimes miss the mark with improbable combinations, but the Caesar salad, pizzas, and tiramisu have a broad following. Kids won't go for the pancetta-wrapped radicchio, so while you're tucking into that, order them a cheese pie. The house wine, Mio Red, is big, fruity, and a great value.
The Scene
There are three outlets of this family-friendly Italian restaurant. The one in Campbell is located in the Old Town area with a view of the water tower. An open kitchen keeps the place lively, especially for those cozied up at a counter seat. The flagship Santa Clara spot has pretty yellow brick walls and lots of windows and the Willow Glen location is bigger, with a rich, earthtone interior.

I had the best experience at this restuarant. I have been going here for years and I see such an improvement with the service and the ambience. I love the Baked Penne and the Greek Fusili. This place combines great Italian food with a flair. The food is unique and always consistent. I love this place and I recommend that you try there delicious desserts. I love the bread pudding and the tiramisu - it is the best I have had in a long time. The Wednesday night wine pouring is so much fun and different. The owners are always there to great you and I always feel welcomed.
Pros: Great Location, Fun atmosphere, Good parking

Mio Vicino was one of my favorite resturants. Recent ownership and management change has let it degrade. The atmosphere is still great, service can be great or not, but the food has not had the hand of a professional chef in a long time. It seems to me that the line cooks have started improvising on thier own and the results are less than wonderful. A recent visit left me thinking I could have eaten at the $6.99 buffet and had the same quality. ...Sorry Marsha.
Pros: Great Alfresco, Killer Bread, Cozy Intimate
Cons: Service iffy, Needs Chef training, pricy for pasta
