Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Sunnyvale

Dining at Cucina Venti is always nothing short of a STELLAR experience. The attention to detail, the warm environment and the courteousness of the staff are what makes dining with them so incredibly memorable.

I made reservations for 4 at lunch on Saturday. We went to celebrate a birthday and spend quality time together. I had the chicken Marsala lunch special which also included a lentil soup (the best I’ve EVER had) and chocolate mousse for dessert. The food and service were outstanding! We will definitely return soon.

Shosha is a great restaurant with a really nice location in the heart of Sunnyvale. Their food is well presented and equally tasteful. We especially enjoyed all the appetizers and the drinks.

I was in town visiting family for Christmas, all Assyrian immigrants from Iraq, who are very discerning when it comes to "good food." I've not been here in over 10yr, but it has always been my favorite restaurant. I brought the entire family for lunch on 12/26/24. Carlos was our waiter. We had a table of 14 that included three children under 4yr and three teenagers (who asked for I don't know how many refills). I know; we were a lot. The food was not only exceptional, it came out hot, and it came out quickly. Very impressive. I heard at least 4-5 relatives comment on the hummus being "next level," and let me tell you, that is a HUGE compliment from a family of amazing chefs. Carlos was just a wonderful, effcient, and patient server. I waited tables at the Crow's Nest when I was earning my teaching credential, so I know how hard serving a large (loud, needy) party can be, and he never missed a mark. (I hope you use him to train all your new servers).

Great Italian food. Old school atmosphere. Great service. Lively location on Sunnyvale's historic Murphy St.
