Forkelo ranking · Updated September 2026
6 tiramisus across San Jose, ranked on what people say about the dish itself — never the restaurant's overall rating.
A Slice of New York · West San Jose
17 dish-specific mentions · 76% positive · 3 source types · menu verified September 2026
A cheap individual cup that diners like for the coffee hit and the value, and the shop says plainly it is shipped in. Almost nobody has criticised it, so read the praise lightly.
26 dish-specific mentions · 77% positive · 3 source types · menu verified September 2026
Named again and again over four years, and big enough to share. The recurring complaints are the price, too much cream, and a portion served fridge-cold.
Paesano Ristorante Italiano · San Jose
20 dish-specific mentions · 75% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
Comes round on the dessert tray and most diners take it happily, calling it boozy and rich. Two say the opposite: diluted, and tasting store-bought.
Bertucellis La Villa Gourmet · Willow Glen
10 dish-specific mentions · 80% positive · 3 source types · menu verified September 2026
A cheap deli-counter piece that regulars call fresh and sweet, sometimes too sweet. No diner has criticised it yet, so the positive picture rests on a thin base.
Ristorante da Maria · San Jose
9 dish-specific mentions · 67% positive · 3 source types · menu verified September 2026
The cheapest plate here and mostly well received in the room. Two delivery orders went badly wrong: one arrived spoiled, another tasted supermarket-bought.
Cocola Bakery (Santana Row) · Santana Row
17 dish-specific mentions · 53% positive · 2 source types · menu verified September 2026
Genuinely split. Decadent and amazing from some, skip it, alright, decent and nothing to write home about from others; several note the unlabelled alcohol.
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.
