First time dining at this restaurant. We got seated right away. Friendly staff. We ordered salmon, burgers, quesabirria pizza with dipping sauce. Great food! I really enjoyed the ambience as well. Highly recommend.

Delicious spot for lunch or an early dinner, service is great , very casual atmosphere, with view of the pizza oven. Outdoor and indoor seating on Santa Cruz blv.

A great experience! We stopped going to Willow Street years ago due to rising prices & shrinking portions. We returned because my son requested Willow Street for his birthday lunch and it was wonderful. They now have a lunch special before 4p which includes a nice size salad of choice plus either a mini-pizza or a mini-pazta dish. The mini dishes are simply smaller portions of their dinner dishes, your choice(except ravioli). They take reservations for indoor dining and outdoor seating is first come, first serve. We made reservation for 1pm Sunday but an outdoor table was open so we grabbed it. Most outdoor seating is shaded by trees and you have a view of people walking the sidewalk and the park across the street. I had the romain salad and mini garlic & chicken pizza and both were really good. Others had ceasar salad, meatballs, etc... and everyone was happy. I would like to see a wider beer selection as they're mostly IPA, but this promising experience and updated menu/serving size/reasonable pricing likely puts Willow Street back on out list of local options.

Came for happy hour. The pizzas and garlic bread are amazing. Up there with eataly's pizzas for me. I really enjoyed the garlic cheese bread and our drinks. Food came out quick and the staff was friendly. The restaurant wasn't too loud. The mini pizzas were pretty small but perfect size since we ordered the garlic bread appetizer. Worth it all. I'll definitely be back!

This location is easy to get to. Street parking is available. Nice to sit inside or out. Staff is super friendly and helpful w/ recommendations, specials. They've been really good to try. Pizzas this time were all delicious - Italian, margarita and Thai pizza.

IMHO Los Gatos was bustling with holiday shoppers this Friday, which meant busy restaurants. Our first restaurant choice was booked, so we remembered Willow Street. Got a table right away for our party of three. Maggie was our fantastic server who gladly gave us her recommendations. We started with the spinach appetizer dip (which was quickly devoured!) Our table ordered the Artichoke Hearts, Chicken & Fusilli, $19.99, Wild Mushroom Pesto Penne, $17.99, and the Grilled Salmon w/buttermilk mashed potatoes and broccolini, $26.99. The chicken in my entree was a tad overcooked or at least was very hard to the bite. I should've realized this would not be a creamy pasta and ordered something different. However, my husband enjoyed the leftovers I brought home. Thank you, Maggie was your friendly and genuine service!

We came here on a Wednesday and there was no wait to get a table. There were plenty of seating inside and outside. There is a large bar inside and they have an extensive beer selection. We decided to sit on the patio out front since it was a nice day. They have umbrellas and heaters on their patio, neither needed during our visit since it wasn't that cold and not overly sunny/hot. Our waitress, Allison, was helpful in describing items on the menu and also pointing out their Lunch Special. She was also very attentive, occasionally checking with us and refilling water. Their lunch special is available from 11:30am to 4pm. You can choose a bowl of soup of the day and side salad. Or you can have your choice of [cup of soup or side salad] and [mini pizza or half pasta]. The lunch special is a great deal at $14.95. And the portions were larger than I expected. We all opted for mini pizza & side salad, or mini pizza & cup of soup. Italian pizza Tomato sauce, mozzarella, fontina, local Italian sausage, all natural Criminelli pepperoni, garlic, mushrooms, spicy Calabrian chilis, fresh basil. This pizza was my favorite. The Calabrian chilis make it special, giving my mouth a nice warmth without being overly spicy. Combination pizza Tomato sauce, mozzarella, local Italian Sausage, salami, Criminelli pepperoni, mixed mushrooms, herbs. This pizza was also very good, but I still think the Italian was slightly better. Thai Chicken pizza Spicy peanut sauce, mozzarella, roasted chicken, shredded carrots, red onions, cilantro. Daughter had this one. She said she enjoyed her pizza. Bowl of Chicken Tortilla Soup This soup had a thick creamy consistency, and topped with guacamole, sour cream and tortilla stips. It had good flavor. Caesar Salad This was pretty standard. I didn't like how the romain lettuce was cut into thin strips. The salad was neither bad nor spectacular. Spring Greens This came with a red wine vinaigrette. Definitely a better choice than the caesar salad. I enjoyed my visit here and would love to return to try some of the other things on their menu. The inside seating area is very large, which looks perfect for a large group outing. The restroom is oddly placed outside in the back... walk through to the back of the restaurant and exit out the side door on the left, then make a right to reach the restrooms; the restrooms can also be accessed from the outside patio area by walking around the outer left side of the building towards the back. There is street parking in the neighborhood. We had no problems finding a parking spot around the corner from the restaurant.

This is such a gem of a spot in a cute and quaint town. Loved everything we ordered here. It's hard for me to pick a fav but defs the honey chipotle wings and pesto pasta for me. And my partner really loved the willow burger, the pizza dough bun was so tasty and unique! Everything else we ordered: -Blood Orange Martini -Lime Margarita -Honey Wheat Bread -Spinach Artichoke Dip -Wild Mushroom Penne Pasta -Thai Chicken Pizza -Willow Burger -Caramel Apple Bread Pudding Aside from the food I absolutely loved the cozy ambiance and family oriented staff! The service was so friendly and you could tell people were passionate about the community and food! I was told everything is made from scratch and that freshness definitely comes out.
