My favorite would be Pigalle in Los Gatos. Quite informal, excellent food, very reasonably priced for the quality. I took five people there and we had three course meals, wine, champagne before dinner - for $150. They also have a prix fixe menu which is about the best deal I know of, considering the quality of the food - $15. Others in Los Gatos include Cafe Marcella and Los Gatos Brewing Co., although the latter might be a little noisy. The food is great, though. Two that I haven't been to but are well thought of are Valeriano's (Italian) and the new Dragon Bistro (kind of a mix of European/Pacific Rim cuisines). I'll let the Saratoga experts handle the restaurants there. I don't get over to Saratoga much, although I will admit to a certain fondness for dining al fresco at Bella Mia... -Ken

Valeriano's is my fovorite Italian restauraunt. It is situated in an old bank building across from the park. They even have a separate table in what used to be the vault (now with a window to the street of course)! Everything there is awesome, although it is a little more expensive than average.
