Los Gatos

About the restaurant

Nestled in downtown Los Gatos, Polenteria serves up Italian cuisine, that is Celiac safe.
We are a small 22 seat restaurant, that is very intimate. With a European feel, many of our guests proclaim that they have been whisked away to Italy or France. We love that!

Many accolades from the SF Chronicle, and the Mercury News as well as Eater SF hail Chef Yvonne and her team at Polenteria for being on the cutting edge of the Gluten Free Movement, and more importantly providing a safe space for those with Celiac to dine without hesitation.

We are a small restaurant and therefore we do have a strict no show- cancellation policy. we need 24 hours or more. Please be considerate of this.

We thank you and look forward to being of service.

We sat at the bar and it was quite cozy. The bartender was absolutely wonderful. I had the Chilean sea bass, my husband had the Carbonara pasta, and my daughter had pasta with prawns and mushrooms. All of the dishes were expertly prepared. We also split the strawberry walnut salad and had the tiramisu for dessert. The owner stopped by to greet us and we told him how wonderful our dinner was. He sent over a flan with salted caramel sauce that was superb! The cocktails were top notch as well.

It’s a family tradition to eat at Bella Saratoga on Christmas Eve. The staff’s warmth and attentiveness allows us to relax and enjoy each other as we share an excellent meal. We left this year as we do every year: Glad we chose to spend this special evening there.

Great food. Nice ambience. When it first opened for lunch, it was a bit chilly with its tall ceilings. By the time we left it was warmer. Great pastas!

I visited to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and arrived about five minutes early for our reservation. Unfortunately, we were informed that due to traffic delays, our table would be pushed back by 45 minutes. While the delayed start was a bit disappointing, the service at the bar was excellent as we enjoyed a drink while we waited. Overall, it turned into a pleasant experience thanks to the attentive staff and great atmosphere.

Rollati's menu is a love letter to Italian-American cuisine, embracing the iconic dishes of Italy’s many regions, as well as those that developed in Italian kitchens across America. Guests will find familiar favorites alongside market driven dishes inspired by seasonal ingredients from local farmers and seafood purveyors, or the occasional nod to a modern pantry. Fresh pasta, made in house, is at the heart of the menu, while features from the Grill, House Specialties, pizza, and seasonal produce round out the menu. Our robust beverage program features an extensive selection of Italian and Californian wines that have been carefully selected to pair with our Italian flavors alongside classic Italian cocktails, aperitifs and digestifs.
