Great food with good options on the menu. Had a hard time deciding what to order! We were all pleased with our choices. Service was excellent too.

Food was fast & delicious! Staff was one it! From the minute we walked in until we left. They tackled every table as a group effort and made for an amazing experience. Really enjoyed this restaurant and will be back next time we come to town.

Cafe Figaro is the best restaurant on Broadway in Burlingame by a wide mile. The owner Will is outstanding and almost always there. The wait staff are A++. The wine list is exceptional. The food is very good, and by Bay Area standards, reasonably priced. And its cozy. Very cozy. I highly recommend it!

Figaro has become a regular stop when returning to Bay Area after travel. The venue is small and well appointed-pretty. The staff is very friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food is delish, with my focus on salad and pastas primarily. They have a very nice wine list, by the glass or bottle.
Nora
Great good. Nice place. Service needs work. Don't rush to clear table, esp if we're still eating.
Maria Manetas
One of our favorite restaurants. Excellent service and the food is wonderful. My favorite is the Cotolette di Vitello Impanate but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Very small restaurant. Noisy, and tight squeeze. My dish was very disappointing. I had read good reviews, and I was looking forward to a good Italian meal. But my chicken piccatta dish was very disappointing. The full size chicken breast was dry, sauce didn't taste like capers and butter, and there wasn't much of it or capers.

I went here with my friend for dinner on a Friday night and we did not have to wait for a table at all. They even let us pick if we sat indoors or outdoors. Our server was so friendly and gave us great recommendations. We got the gnocchi and the penne primavera with chicken and they were both perfectly cooked and delicious. We never felt rushed and the service was quick. Everything about this place was wonderful and I highly recommend!

We celebrated a birthday at the restaurant and was not disappointed. We look to come back in the future.

We love Cafe Figaro but not when they are having a party of 25 celebrating a birthday. The restaurant is very small and the noise level made it impossible to hear the people at our table. I could see the frustration with the other small groups trying to have a nice dinner. My recommendation is if you are going to allow such large groups, close the restaurant to all others.
Absolutely fantastic! The lasagna with béchamel was great! Tuesday night party of 3 with no reservation, they had a large seating of maybe 20 people, we waited 15 - 20 minutes. Probably a little louder than normal because of the large seating.

The food and service were very good. However, as a party of 5 one of us sat in a chair in the major isle that patrons and wait staff entered/exited. We were cramped. The noise level was extremely loud that we couldn't hear our party speak at the table. This could have been a one-off as there was a party of 20 at the table next to ours.

I have been going to Café Figaro for a few years. The food is always excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it, go once and you too will be addicted (in a good way).

The staff, including the Owner’s son Will, are so very friendly here that it makes all the difference! We were very late, unavoidably, and when I mentioned it to Will, he offered to hold the table for us! He made a phenomenal recommendation on a red wine blend (Zin/petite syrah) and our meal of a filet mignon, perfectly prepared with a delicious sauce, and a pasta Primavera were phenomenal. It was a bit chilly and he made it easy to move inside. The servers were all lovely, refilling water, and bread as needed. The ambience is intimate and warm. We just love this place!

This was my first experience here even being a native of the Bay Area peninsula and coast my whole life. I have to say that the service and food was just wonderful, and it almost felt like being in a local restaurant in my grandfather's native city of Lucca, Italy. This may be my new favorite Italian restaurant! We had a great birthday celebration for my wife, and the staff was very accommodating. I can't wait to go back for my next meal! Well done!
