The year was 1992 when a talented Italian chef and his business partner opened the first Mio Vicino in it's current location on the corner of Benton and Monroe streets in old town Santa Clara. Their approach was simple: Create a place where anyone can stop in, enjoy the finest Italian food, a premium wine list, relax amid the buzzing atmosphere, and come away feeling like they've just visited an old friend for dinner
This family-owned pizza joint has more awards than any other pizza place in the area. Prices can get somewhat expensive, but this is premium pizza served by a professional wait staff. With autographed sports memorabilia all over the walls and patio seats outside, it makes for a great family dinner or relaxed lunch. Try the Tony's Special with pepperoni, salami, onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, beef, Italian sausage and linguica. The kitchen also serves up great plates of pasta. The pizza takes a while to bake, but it is worth the wait.
Pizza Antica has a chic decor but is family-friendly. Their menu is mainly Italian with a Californian twist, you can have pastas, fresh fish, meat, seasonal salads or the famed antipasti. Taste their exotic pizzas like Spicy Fennel Sausage, Portobello Mushroom and Roasted Onion or Heirloom Potato or make your own. The staff is friendly and would mostly remember your name. Add to the pizza effect with a wine from the list like Pinot Grigio, Terra di Ger, Friuli 2005. You can also bring your own though there is a corkage fee to it. Finish with a yummy dessert like Warm Walnut Cake with Brown Sugar Bananas.
