Frittata da Mari. Delicious. Pollo salt baca. Fabulous. Garlic bread Great. Service friendly. Oh yeah and veggies were cooked to perfection. If you're in northern Pacifica, check it out

Overall decent food, but the restaurant should reconsider how they bill their patrons. My friend and I had dinner here last weekend and my friend wanted to substitute salmon for chicken in the dish she ordered. Substituting one protein for another shouldn't cost more than $6. Not only did they charge the full $22 price for the original entree, they added another $13 for the salmon. Plus, they charged $3 for an iced tea refill and another $3 if we paid for our credit card! A restaurant that mentions they accept credit cards should also mention any added charges associated with using a credit card. At the very least, the waiter could have mentioned these charges to us when we ordered, but didn't do so. We could have gone to a fancier restaurant in SF and paid just as much. Again, their food is pretty good, I loved their pizza and my friend enjoyed her pasta. If you choose to dine here, be prepared to pay extra for things you wouldn't think you'd have to pay for.

First time eating here and ordered takeout. My large combo pizza turned out to be a medium cheese so that was very disappointing because I paid way more for what I received. The pasta was good. Please be sure to check your order before you leave with takeout.

Want to try out all of the pizzas eventually. The Hickey is my to go to so far. Tastes is good and a nice proportion of the toppings.

Great local place with delicious pizza. On the entree menu, I particularly love the salmon piccata.

Delicious food. Chef was from another favorite of ours, Paisano'sFresh ingredients, good winesI wish the ambiance was a little better. Their sign and menus had significant typos , the paint colors and TV added a dreariness. All easily fixable, with cozy lighting , fewer tables, typos fixed, a be better sign / banner

My husband and I had dinner tonight at Bolare and we are thrilled at this new addition to the neighborhood. The Caesar salad was delicious and my husband had the lasagna which he raved about all the way home. I had the pappardelle and it was cooked perfectly and a slice of limoncello cake was the perfect end to the meal. We will definitely be back.

Finally tried this place, after its been open for a couple of months. I actually felt sad because everytime I drive by, it is empty...like all the time. I ordered the spaghetti & meatball & lasagna. The spaghetti was really good, and the sauce wasn't too saucy. The lasagna, although good, was a tad on the salty side. Cut lil place with linen table cloths, which lends itself to a more upscale place. If it were me, I'd lose the fancy, pop in some tv's, take off the linen, and I think this place might get more business. Just a thought.

Best Italian food I've had in a long while. It reminds me of some Italian food I had in Pacifica while back. So far I've had the lasagna and today I ordered a pizza. The Rockaway was cooked to perfection. I took my pizza to go but they have tablecloths and real napkins. The service is great too very friendly.

Lovely, delicious, and not overpriced. We had the Salmon Picata, and salad with grilled chicken. Both were very good served with nice warm bread. It was a very chilly night and it was very warm and cozy. I would definitely go back to eat here.

We moved to the apartment complex right next to the fairmont shopping center. We decided to try this place out and immediately regretted it. It's a 1min walk to Bolare from my front door. YET somehow the pasta was already cold, calamari was rubbery and the pizza was cold. We ordered the food via DoorDash. This entire order came out to $70+ dollars. Calamari, Pizza, Pasta and tiramisu. Only reason I gave this 2 stars is because I'd still like to support a small business like them. If you're looking for a pizza place, don't order from them. If you're craving pasta, don't order from them. If you want any sort of good Italian food, look elsewhere.

Authentic and absolutely delicious. Best place to get your pasta fix in the Colma area and you can walk it off by the beach in a short drive. Wish I lived closer, might be good that I don't because I would eat wayyyyy too much pasta. I got the pappardelle and my friend the gnocchi, and it was all so legit in flavor and texture. I was very surprised and my Italian heart was elated! Could be a very romantic spot to take your date too or just to get some yumminess to go. The place isn't huge but a good enough size for a medium group or two. Great quick service too with a small but great wine selection. Glad Yelp guided me here! Grazie!

This. Place was a poor excuse for an Italian restaurant. I should have known while I was waiting listening to other customers sending food back, Canceling orders, not taking doggie bags. When I got home, the food was way over cooked!!! Pasta not cooked, cheese burned on All 3 orders. Never again!!!

Didn't like the ingredients or the vibe! Tomatoes were not fresh on the Margherita and the meat on the Hickey was not restaurant quality. Life's too short for bad food.
