“I don't review restaurants much but I feel compelled to after the quality of the service we received for our dinner at Bellini this week. We'd ordered mushroom ravioli & they forgot to put the mushroom ravioli. We were pretty hungry so didn't care much at the time & enjoyed it (I got the fish special which was pretty good too). While getting the takeout box for leftovers, we pointed out that it was missing mushrooms. On hearing that, the server (owner?) had the kitchen prepare us a full mushroom ravioli. Moreover, we got a full container of soup to go with it! We were blown away by their dedication to leaving the customer satisfied ?“

“Delicious warm bread to start the meal. Two of us had the lamb chops with a chimichurri sauce they were tender, delicious, and perfectly cooked, one medium and the other medium rare. They were also kind enough to split a Caesar salad for us. My husband had the homemade tagliatelle (recommended by our server), perfectly al dente. We ended our meal with a lava cake, oozing with melted chocolate, my new favorite dessert.“

“Take-out dinner for four adults and one toddler. High-quality, authentic Italian. Excellent homemade pasta, including pillowy spinach-ricotta ravioli. Flavorful chicken dish with roast potatoes my husband, who avoids dairy, loved: "Pollo alla Calabrese." Warm reception taking the order over the phone, as well as upon my arrival. The bread we were given to accompany was unexpectedly traditional French, with a slight sourdough note -- tasted freshly baked. Do not miss the light & airy tiramisu for dessert!“
“Came here because it was highly rated and I'm out here on business. I was able to smell this place a block away and it smelled amazing. Got the Cousin Vinny sandwich and it was great, I will definitely be back, when I'm out here for “

“This is our first time going to the restaurant. They opened right before Covid. And have been in business for a little over four years. It was easy to get a reservation and we had outside dining on the sidewalk with two heaters. The service was great. Our server was fantastic. Our table, ordered chicken, fish, and pasta, and the quality and proportions were extremely fine. Generous portions. And the prices unbeatable. And they took Apple Pay at Table. Definitely will make this a restaurant for us to visit the future.“

“Excellent spot.Found the staff to be on point. Everything was on time, waitress was very knowledgeable and had good recommendations but didn't pressure.Food was excellent. Really no complaints. We had the salumi, pea salad, pizza, and cheesecake. Nothing missed. Prices are typical for peninsula (high) but the quality is there to back it up.We sat inside and it was noisy with loud misic, and the large screen TV at the bar was maybe unnecessary. So not a romantic spot but more for a night out with friends or family with older kids.Will definitely come back ASAP!Parking: Right next to large San Mateo city parking garage. Took a while to find a spot but it's free after 6 and there are plenty of spots, you just have to look for a bit since it's such a big lot.“

“La Lanterna is a wonderful family style Italian restaurant with great food, great service and friendly atmosphere. It seems to be a favorite of locals. We love how the owner Jennifer runs the place with 4 great servers that are like family members. In fact one of them we know is her son. Cocktails are superb and they have a consistent kitchen churning out quality Italian fare. Their calamari dorati is the best we've had anywhere.“

“Food was good, but the biggest downer was the lasagna. Tasted great, but came out cold. I get that it's not made to order, but this was room temperature or lower. A bit unappetizing, and disappointing since it was a cold day and I was looking forward to a nice hot meal. Place was quite, but it was a Tuesday, so easy to have a conversation. Next time I would send the lasagna back to be reheated -“

“Walked in w/o a reservation to celebrate a birthday. Warmly greeted and accommodated. Spinach salad was delicious topped with homemade potato chips, creamy goat cheese and profuse amount of pancetta. The Capriccio pizza had great toppings of prociutto, artichokes, olives. Regretting became soggy while we ate. Portions are copious and each dish easily feed two. The bombilini donuts are DELICIOUS! Great atmosphere. Lively, but the tables were nicely pleased so conversation was not impacted. The wait staff was wonderful. I would only have liked tablecloths! That would have matched the quality of the food and service.“

“It's been a while since I've eaten here. I've forgotten how big their selection is and how good their food is. This family owned restaurant has been around since 1983, they must be doing something right! Their portions are big enough to feed an army. We walked in with an army, 10 hungry teens, 13 adults and a 10 year old. We ordered pizza, pasta and apps. Nothing beats carb loading on a cold Saturday night. They also offer lots of Mediterranean dishes in this Greek inspired restaurant.“

“Cosy Italian café with great foodOrdered a risotto with salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the risotto is also tasty. I heard that they served really good desserts which were not on the menu. The coffee price is also affordable. Will definitely come back again.“

“Super nice staff. The food wasn’t particularly outstanding (the pasta was pretty bland and a bit overcooked), though it did come out quickly. The atmosphere is very red sauce Italian—if you’re into that, you’ll like this place. I personally found the atmosphere a bit much, but I can see what they were going for and how others might like that.“

“Excellent place to host parties!! Spacious inside and out. Staff was super friendly and easy to work with. Food was excellent! I had my daughter's 5h birthday party here and had a blast! Would definitely consider this place again for large parties! Pizza was hot and crispy with a nice crust! Chock full of fresh ingredients! Potato wedges were huge, piping hot, and super delicious. Best dish of the day: their fried chicken. Sleeper dish, I'm telling you. Don't knock it til you try it! Super crispy outside and insanely moist and tender on the inside. And I'm talking about the breast! Come yell at me if you don't like it. Thumbs up!“

“The most amazing Italian food on the peninsula. Karen is so kind and attentive. We come here for every occasion we can celebrate and just being alive is one of them. Get the Ravioli if only as an appetizer to share so you can get more dishes. Every dish is amazing and the ambiance is cozy and inviting. Make a reservation if your party is larger than four just so they're ready. Small seating area outside too. I love this place.“

“They accept reservations and the wait time for walk-ins varies. On Sunday evening, I waited for 30 minutes. They offer fantastic pasta and desserts. The clam chowder soup was a bit cold, but the taste was good. The pasta and cheesecake were amazing. The hosts are very welcoming.“

“We are faithful diners at this local neighborhood cafe . The owner is always so cordial in his greeting of us and the staff always are so courteous and have smiles despite the busy atmosphere of this Valentine's dinner . The dedicated menu for the evening was sufficient to please the diverse palates ( though our friend who received the duck breast choice was a bit displeased because the slices were very thin and small compared to what was usually served to others ) but taste wise he said it was very good . The seabass and the lamb choices were delicious ... no complaints there !! We love this cafe and look forward to returning and ordering from their usual menu ( esp. the squid ink pasta which is a FAVORITE ♥️) I highly recommend this cafe for a dining choice ??“
“There are few foods I enjoy more than a fresh deli sandwich, and I was quite pleased with the sandwiches at Cafe Stellato! Cafe Stellato is a very cute cafe that greets you with a display of fantastic looking gelato (which I will be trying next time I come in!). But there are also a plethora of sandwich options available to those who make their way in toward the back of the cafe. I ordered the Stellato Special with the works, and my partner ordered the Alpino. The combination of turkey, artichoke, and sun dried tomatoes were delicious, and the ingredients all tasted very fresh. When asked, I opted for the spicy calabrese spread, though I was slightly disappointed that there was no real spice to it. My partner thoroughly enjoyed the Alpino as well, and commented multiple times on how tasty the pancetta (Italian bacon) was!Our order was taken very quickly, and the sandwiches were prepared nice and quickly. Everyone working there was friendly and efficient.I will definitely be coming back to eat my way through more of their sandwich menu. And next time, I think I'll be topping it off with some of that great looking gelato!“

“Hello...I had the opportunity to stay overnight in San Bruno before heading to Austin, TX. My sister and I decided to walk to Roma Deli for our dinner. I probably was a pain to the gentleman taking my order...sorry...just very picky about my sandwiches. People...without a doubt, this sandwich was the BEST sandwich I have ever had in my life. All I can say is...YOU MUST GO THERE!!!!! SO worth it...thank you!!!!!“

“What else can be said other than the food was fantastic? It was a very classy restaurant with dark intimate lighting and seating. There was a plethora of wine options and the Chianti I ordered was the perfect choice. The bread pick was really good considering it was simply bread with a side of what seemed like a balsamic vinegar olive oil mix which surprised me in being a great add on. Even though it was busy the service was exceptional and our waitress was lovely. The main course of Chicken Parmesan was pretty good and so was the Caesar salad as far as salads go. Finally the Creme bru le was so good I ate every last bite. Best spot for Italian in the area.“

“Late post from a few weeks ago. Funny enough, even though this place is called the Ravioli House I always find myself ordering a sandwich from there. The pastrami sandwiches are really good and the bread they use is good as well. Sourdough is my ideal match for pastrami but from time to time I'll enjoy the dutch crunch as well. If you want a satisfying sandwich for lunch. I highly recommend this place. Staff is always friendly as well.“

“My second visit - this time with my husband. Staff was warm and welcoming and seemed pleased to see me again (didn't realize I had made an impression). The restaurant space is what they call "intimate" and "cozy." But it doesn't feel like it. It's airy and lovely. It's the best place to go with friends, family or romantic partners. Again the staff is so welcoming and warm that you feel like you're visiting a friend's house for dinner. But you're not reading this for anything but the food. We started with the airy and lovely calamari - fried with a side of a balsamic dipping sauce. A lovely focaccia with a delightful olive rich dipping sauce came out also. Just when my husband and I thought we couldn't be happier, our mains came out. I had the cinghiale and my husband went for the seafood risotto. Both were delicious. The risotto is very airy and beautiful. You want hardy - the cinghiale (boar sausage) with thick homemade ribbons of pasta will warm your soul. Desserts were wonderful. I had tiramisu while my husband had the pistachio cake. Both were terrific. Tiramisu is one of those things that can be done meh or great. This was great. Ladyfingers soaked in actual coffee had a nice bite (espresso?) with good dusting of cocoa powder to give it some balance with the tender sweetness of the cream. Plan to come back with a couple of my girl friends in the next couple of weeks. Great place to eat.“

“Had a great experience when visiting on a Friday evening at 7pm without a reservation. We quickly got a table and got prompt service.They offer cocktails (~$15) both with and without alcohol. I can highly recommend "Last Stand" (Gin, Aperol, Prosecco & perchaud Bitters) or the blood orange mocktail.We had two homemade pasta dishes that were both really tasty (Bolognese & cacio et pepe) and finished with a tiramisu shared between the two of us.The tiramisu was served in a small bowl which sadly meant a high cream to ladyfingers ratio. Still tasty but could have been better.Altogether we paid $130 incl tax and tip.“

“Italian cuisine was excellent with many options, especially pasta. Unfortunately we came when there was 3 very large loud parties which I thought was unusual for a Monday night. You kind of stop talking at your table and try to ignore the noise. Definitely not for a romantic of business meeting dinner.“

“Rocca delivered the perfect romantic dinner for two in a half-round booth. From the divine Gnocchi with Pesto Cream to the generous Ravioli Bolognese, every bite was a delight. And let's not forget the indulgent Chocolate Mousse for dessert. Impeccable service, a cocktail menu to suit both our tastes, and an atmosphere that set the scene for a memorable evening.“
“We hosted a holiday party for 325 people and hired Esposto's to cater the buffet dinner as well as provide tables and linens. They absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the beginning communications to the culmination of a spectacular event, the entire team was amazing to work with. The Esposto's team was wonderful to work with, so responsive and so organized. I am so grateful!The catering team who came to support our event the night of was nothing short of amazing. They were on top of everything working like a well oiled machine. The food was absolutely spectacular and plentiful! I would highly recommend them for your catering needs. We will definitely be using them again!“

Great flavor, great quality, and the perfect amount of pizza for the price. Service is great too! Staff is always helpful and friendly and the wait time is never too long.The New York style pepperoni and paesano are our faves, definitely stop by if you are in the mood for pizza!“

Waitress knew the food and was very friendly and attentive to us.The food was out of this world!My husband got the fried calamari steak and it was so tender and flavorful.

The flavor was outstanding!!We also had the Mushroom Polenta appetizer and it was so delicious.Highly recommend this restaurant!!Parking: It's on the frontage road and there are pull in spots right in front. Would probably be full on busy weekend nights. We went early and there were plenty of spots within easy walking distance.“

“Fantastic family friendly spot with amazing food. The shrimp and grits app was delicious and the grits were like a polenta cake and had great flavor. The pizza was thin with a little char and good crust. Cesar salad had a really good dressing and was very fresh. The Chicken Parmesan had great flavor, nice lightly breaded chicken with spaghetti. Can't wait to go back and try some more.Kid-friendliness: Lots of families enjoying dinner.“

“I recently tried the Hawaiian pizza at Mr Pizza Man in San Mateo, and it was absolutely delightful! The combination of sweet pineapple, savory ham, and melted cheese created a perfect balance of flavors. The crust was just the right amount of crispy, and the overall quality of the pizza exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Hawaiian pizza at Mr Pizza Man for anyone craving a delicious and satisfying pizza experience. It's definitely worth a try!“

“At the beginning of the month, we celebrated a friend's b day here & it was an experience I will never forget. I love the casual upscale atmosphere with friendly staff & wonderful food. The polenta some creamy & some of the best I have ever had; this was an appetizer in the multicourse dinner. The frittata was wonderful with fresh vegetables & cheese. The ravioli was aldentae with a wonderful beef filling & zesty marinera sauce. The antipasti was wonderful with olives, salami, & a wonderful assortment of cheeses & bread. My prime rib was wonderful; a little dry, but tender for the most part with freshly sauted green beans. For dessert, our cake was wonderful. I rounded it off with a Peroni & some red wine. Everyone in our party loved everything. The Italian music in the background & piano polayer were both divine. We enjoyed some dancing to some popular songs. It was definitely a night I will never forget & will have to come in for lunch. Keep up the good work guys.“

“Could not have been more pleased with this restaurant! It felt like dining with family (in a very good way)! The food was stunning. Easily the best Italian food in the U.S, (possibly in the world)The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the location and the food quality. One of the owners sat and chatted with us for a few minutes. Very nice family that also owns another Italian restaurant just up the street. Apparently there is live music on Monday nights. We will be back!“

“I had lunch at this Italian restaurant on a Thursday afternoon with a former business colleague and it was a wonderful experience. We ordered the Grilled Prawns Wrapped with Pancetta appetizer, with the Veal Piccata and the Salmon Nicoise salad as entrees. All of the dishes served were very generous portions. The Grilled Prawns had three very large fresh prawns and was served with a lot of delicious sauteed beans with arugula on top. The dish tasted fantastic. The Veal Piccata was also to die for- served in a rich lemon butter sauce with capers over mashed potatoes and a lot of fresh spinach. Enough to take home for the next day! The Salmon Nicoise salad had an abundance of fresh ingredients and was very tasty. Bread and an olive oil bread dip are served at no charge when seated. We finished off our meal with two traditionally made Cappuccinos that were perfect. Service was also impeccable with exactly the right timing between courses. This restaurant is now on my "return again and again" list! Thank you so much for a great and satisfying meal.“

“Due to the rainstorm, I didn't want to go very far for food and opted for the nearby cafe. The Café was open and pretty much empty (understandable because I'm sure most people were working from home instead of trying to drive into work). I ordered the croissant and a banana nut muffin. The muffin, you can request to be warmed which I opted for. The egg, cheese, and bacon croissant was delicious, and I would order again. But I am curious about the other items on their menu, especially when it comes to the latter half of the day. There was a lasagne on there that I'm super curious about.“
