Golden Oak Restaurant
16695 Condit Rd., Morgan Hill CA; Tel. 408.779.8085
American. The restaurant features fine continental cuisine and an award-winning wine list. The historic building was once a winery, opened after Prohibition ended in 1933.
Maurizio's
17535 S. Monterey Rd., Morgan Hill CA; Tel. 408.782.7550
Italian. "Morgan Hill, incidentally, is no longer just that sleepy corridor you pass through on your way to L.A. More and more Silicon Valley-ites are finding country living in the beautiful southern stretches of Santa Clara County the perfect antidote for the dotcom hustle. If you don't believe me, head down there soon and watch springtime turn the hills to neon green punctuated by expanses of yellow mustard. Well, now residents and newcomers alike have one more fine restaurant to join the growing throng of upscale dining rooms popping up in Morgan Hill... The menu at Maurizio's is full of old favorites, plus an expanded wine list and a classy bar where you can sip and enjoy live jazz on weekends." (Christina Waters, Metro, March 1, 2001)
Mezza Luna
17230 Monterey Rd., Morgan Hill CA; Tel. 408.778.7339
Sicilian. Chef Luigi Silvestri seems to be as adroit at making toothsome pasta dishes as he is roasting lamb with heaps of fresh, raw garlic. Mezza Luna is a dream come true for garlic lovers. And the kitchen subscribes to the notion that eating a lot is part and parcel of eating well. Casual. Beer, wine. Closed Mon.
Rosy's at the Beach
17320 Monterey Rd., Morgan Hill CA; Tel. 408.778.0551
Seafood. Fresh fish daily. Named after co-owner (and former Santa Clara University women's volleyball team captain) Rosy Bergin.
Trail Dust BBQ
17249 Monterey Rd., Morgan Hill, CA; Tel. 1.408.776.9072
Barbecue. Trail Dust serves some of the best barbecue you'll find in the South Bay and the place has great local appeal. Trail Dust is best known for its pork ribs, and rightly so. Tri-tip is the other specialty of the house. And don't miss the ranch beans.
