Gardino’s Restaurant & Bar

Gardino’s Restaurant & Bar

Gardino’s Restaurant & Bar has been serving Los Gatos since 1993, starting as a small Italian bistro and growing into one of the area’s favorite spots for live music, drinks, and hearty meals.

Founded by Executive Chef Tom Jillo and now run by his son Pete, the restaurant has kept its roots while building a strong local following. It’s a no-frills, friendly place where you can catch live music, eat well, and hang out with people who appreciate both.

The menu is packed with classic Italian dishes—from pastas to steaks and seafood—and the bar is fully stocked to keep your glass full all night. If you’re looking for a dependable local spot with real music and real food, Gardino’s Restaurant & Bar is it.
