There's more of a food scene going on down here than Gilroy's famed Garlic Festival. Morgan Hill boasts some great barbecue at Trail Dust and good California comfort food at Ragoots. And whether it's fresh fruit in season or dried fruit in the off months, Andy's Orchard in Morgan Hill is the country's premier source of rare and heirloom stone fruit.

Maurizio's Authentic Italian Ristorante
17535 Monterey Rd., Morgan Hill
Italian restaurant. Maurizio's doesn't need to trumpet the fact in its name--this place is authentic, all right. Owner/chef/bartender Maurizio Cutrignelli offers up specialities from his hometown of Bari, Italy, with cheerful hospitality. The antipastis arrive colorfully flavored, and an order of Vitello Saltimbocca approached perfection: tender veal medallions pounded and rolled with crisp prosciutto, melted mozzarella and fresh sage rested in a thick, savory pool of marsala wine reduction. Because specials change according to Maurizio's whim, however, menu quality can be uneven, and slow service means this casual ristorante isn't for those in a rush. If you want authentic personality, however, Maurizio's is your place. Lunch Mon-Fri 11:30am-2pm; dinner Mon-Thu 5-9pm, Fri-Sat 5-10pm; closed Sun. Full Bar. |
