Amici Park will turn into a Western Village for Little Italy’s biggest party, Ferragosto! Taking on a new theme each year, Ferragosto 2107 will return with a “Wild Western” theme, inviting guests to join the party in their best western attire.

Quality ingredients, time spent cooking, consistent tasting and a blend of Italian flavors make for a good marinara sauce, but one ingredient makes it great: love. That is the winning touch, according to Pedro Cipriano, executive chef at Mio Vicino Pasta and Pizzeria Cafe. The popular eatery in Saratoga just won Little Italy San Jose’s Boss of the...
