In Campbell: Gisueppe on Campbell Avenue eastbound bypass between Winchester and Bascom Martha's in the Pruneyard Campbell (formerly bad, now good) Asian/Californian In Sunnyvale: Nicolino's on Tasman between Lawrence and Great America Bad coffee. Downtown San Jose: La Pastia in the Hotel De Anza Gorden Biersch (pub food) In Santa Clara 4-5-6 Chinese on Pruneridge between Saratoga Av and Winchester. A dive but some excellent dishes. San Francisco Caffe Riggio on Geary between 4th & 7th ave (I don't remember) Hing Lung at the Park, 19th Ave and south end of GG park. Chinese food in a bright green building. Famous for juk (rice porridge) for lunches. Mandalay Burmese, 6th & California Emmy's Country Chinese, on Montery Blvd. Excellent, but not expensive. Il Forniao with several locations has not disappointed me. Cowper St. Palo Alto, Union St. in San Francisco, and Battery St. in San Francisco. Someone from San Francisco should be able to help you with the numerous little italian restaurants.
