Willow Glen Restaurants

Italian. Tucked into picturesque Willow Glen, the tiny Siena Bistro offers big tastes. Entrees such as Moroccan Cornish game hen, venison medallions and seasonal risotto vie for palates’ favor, while fabulous deserts, such as a bread pudding dessert worthy of the hall of fame, round off meals gracefully. The ambiance is wonderful whether dining indoors or out on the patio.

Italian. Seasonal menu, changing chef's specials and fabulous wines keep things interesting at this elegant Willow Glen Italian restaurant. This stylish little bistro serves Northern Italian cuisine in an atmosphere that’s beautiful courtesy of Tuscan updates to the location in the Old Masonic building in Willow Glen.

Contemporary Mexican. Aqui excels in contrasts: Swill margaritas with health-conscious vegetarian exotica; pair fresh juices with meat-packed burritos. The ambiance is chi-chi, yet you serve yourself. Casual. Beer, margaritas.

French Bakery. Like Vianne, the wandering shop owner in the movie Chocolat, Flower Flour's Mimi Brown has chosen to grace a small town with her decadent inventions. The flower shop/bakery charms visitors with freshly made to-drool-for pastries, ready-to-go sandwiches and service with a smile.

Thai. Siam Square leans too far to the sweet side of Thai cuisine's delicate sweet-sour-spicy balancing act, but offers an array of traditional dishes in a clean, cheery atmosphere. Casual. Beer, wine.

Mexican. Owner Ubaldo Navarro makes sure all the usual dishes rank well above average, but that's not what makes his eatery special. It's the extra touches: amazing breakfasts, deliciously tart margaritas and a talented balladeer belting out canciones on Saturday nights.

Pizza, Italian. In addition to the gourmet pizzas that fired the name, menu options include hearty pasta dishes, generous salads and creative sandwiches (lunch menu). Casual. Beer, wine.
