Forkelo ranking · Updated September 2026

Best Bologneses in Los Gatos.

4 bologneses across Los Gatos, ranked on what people say about the dish itself — never the restaurant's overall rating.

#1
7.4 Forkelo score Medium confidence

15 dish-specific mentions · 80% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • rigatoni
  • house made pasta
  • fresh pasta
  • generous portion
  • not heavy
  • authentic

House-made rigatoni under a ragu diners call surprisingly light for a bolognese, in portions built for sharing. The sauce can run watery on an off night.

#2
6.5 Forkelo score Medium confidence

13 dish-specific mentions · 69% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • tagliatelle
  • generous portion
  • rich sauce
  • repeat order
  • savory
  • gluten free option

Beef braised into a savoury tomato ragu over ribbon pasta, in portions people take home, with a gluten-free option. The sauce can come out loose and short on meat.

6.4 Forkelo score Early ranking

11 dish-specific mentions · 64% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • spaghetti
  • rich sauce
  • repeat order
  • generous portion
  • garlicky
  • peppery

A rich, garlicky and peppery house bolognese in a large portion, on the pasta shape you pick. The garlic and salt tip over for some diners.

6.3 Forkelo score Medium confidence

15 dish-specific mentions · 67% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026

  • tagliatelle
  • rich sauce
  • fresh pasta
  • pork and beef
  • braised short rib

Fresh tagliatelle with a ragu of named-farm pork and beef, at its best when the sauce is rich. It is inconsistent, and a flat or greasy plate turns up.

How this ranking works.

Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.

Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
