“Great food and place . Love it“

“Great food and service. My wife said it was the best spaghetti she ever had.“

“Leonardo’s is OPEN for business, phone orders and pick up. Uber Eats option available this Friday March 20th. Please keep them in mind during this time, with everyone home from school and work enjoy a great deli sandwich, homemade soup or fine salads.“

“Fantastic pizza. Probably the best i have had in the peninsula. Got a thin crust half combination and half hawaiian. All ingredients were perfectly balanced with the crust.

Great mom and pop small business. I will support ahead of the corporate neighbors like mountain mikes, round table, etc.

Hang in there zorba! ?“

“Loved every second! From the Gracious hostess who welcomed us early at the bar to the lovely waitstaff ... and damn. That food! Incredible flavors and textures. Just joyous. Best Italian I've had in SF in a long while and the old school ambience... people eating lustily and having fun. No one taking food photos. Too busy eating. Perfect“

“My friend and I went to brunch here avoiding the line at Lucho's and we were not disappointed. I had an eggplant sandwich which came with pickled veggies, and a side salad. My friend who trained as a chef had an omelette with a side of potatoes. The salad was generous. So were the potatoes. The sandwich was delicious and the omelette was well executed. (My chef friend said "it's good.") We sat in a booth while the place was empty on a Sunday and it was comfortable. I would definitely go back.

One recommendation: use an air fryer for the eggplant as it was a bit greasy. But it tasted great and I ate the whole thing.“

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Superb 4 star in my book.“

“What a fabulous evening, we all unanimously agreed that Pasta Moon is our new go to dinner spot when we are in Half Moon Bay. The food, service and ambiance were perfect and the Roasted Chiogga and Golden Beet Salad was amazing.“

“A really wonderful, romantic oasis in downtown Burlingame. All the food we ordered here was delicious. The Italian sausage lasagna was my highlight. The pomegranate and arugula salad was also wonderful. The Bolognese lasagna was solid but not as standout. The complimentary focaccia bread at the beginning was just so-so.

The staff and service are extraordinarily welcoming and friendly. I'd highly recommend a visit!“

“great service from the staff , good food , good ambience“

“Excellent food every time we have been… will be back. Everything is great on their menu. 🥰 Tonight we had guest from Montreal, celebrated Mother’s Day and our 23rd Wedding Anniversary! We couldn’t be happier to eat at Vespucci. Manuela and Francesco feel like my southern Italian family. Warm, welcoming, good food and wine and genuine conversation. Love them.“

“Cocktails and Wagyu - soooo good!“

“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.“

“Giving this a five star due to the quality of the food, and the wine, even though it is sooo reasonable, its incredibly good too.
The ambience is nice, but don’t let the dark exterior fool you. Or the word express. It is certainly not your typical “express” anything. It is delightful, relaxing, beautiful Italian music, and simply divine food. Service has always been good everyone we good here.“

“Great food and service!! Classic design the best staff!!“

“We had the meat ravioli with bolognese sauce and a meatloaf sandwich on a soft roll. Both were fantastic. Highly recommend visiting. Parking was easy and cheap.

Vegetarian options: Cheese Ravioli, Squash Ravioli.

Parking: There are many in front as well as directly across the street.“

“Amazing service. Great food. Awesome staff! Can’t recommend it more highly.“

“like being in Italy. Fabulous food, excellent service. The atmosphere is so Italian you'll think that you are in Italia. Bravo.“

“I’ve always loved Italian food, especially good lasagna. Recently finding this place in San Bruno we had to try it. This place is absolutely amazing on both food and service. I’ve been to top restaurants in the city that do not have as good of service or food as West Coast. Keep up the great work, you guys are phenomenal!“

“We love Vivace! It’s like a party and the food is good! We esp enjoy the orichette and the salmon w/couscous. Cocktails 👍“

“Great customer service, good food and fine wine 🍷“

“Warm and friendly spot. If the Rack of Lamb is offered… do not pass it up, it was a Culinary experience!“

“Nice all the time“

“Tonight was my first time at Luceti’s! My friend has always talked about it and tonight I went there with them. The food, service, atmosphere was great! I will definitely be going back! There are several things on the menu that I have to try! Great job to Luceti’s on food quality and service!“

“Love this cozy, family owned Glen Park neighborhood spot! The pasta is homemade as is the pesto; the vegetables and fruit are fresh. When salmon is the special, that's my choice. The owner is the server and though MANZONI is a small place, he rushes around like a whirling dervish. When the restaurant is close to full, there can be a wait for the entrees so don't expect to rush off to a movie or show. Just savor the meal and relax in the comfort of the homey dining room. Appreciate the character of this one of a kind place.“

“Great people. First class bocce ball and facility“

“First time coming here and I loved it. The waiters were attentive and the ambience was nice. I am looking forward to trying everything on their menu. I had the lamb this time. Everything was cooked perfectly. What a delicious and beautiful dish!“

“This meal, which just happened to fall on Valentine's Day, was a lovely beginning to our trip which started with a flight out of SFO. Fortunately I had thought to make a reservation or we never would have gotten in. The service was warm, the atmosphere was cozy and not too dressy, and the food and wine were great. I especially enjoyed my risotto with scallops; while the scallops were small, they were tender and there were plenty of them. We will definitely keep this restaurant in mind when we visit the area in the future.“

“The filet was perfectly cooked. My favorite, always consistent- I've even door dashed this an it came perfect. 10 for consistency. But the atmosphere and the attentive service makes it even better! Thank you Stella for a wonderful meal! 👏👏“

“What a wonderful experience. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I knew it would be a good experience. The staff was welcoming and so attentive. The food was delicious. I ordered the black squid ink noodles with mussels, clam, shrimp and scallops and it was perfectly prepared and cooked. Loved every bite and if I wasn't in SF for the rest of the week I would go back. A gem!“

“Amazing place, the food Is delicious and excellent service!“

“Amazing family restaurant with exceptional customer service. Everyone is super pleasant and want your dining experience to be heartwarming. Go home with your belly’s full! Totally my go to for family dinners and take out pizza for a beach day!“

“Went there for date night. Between the food, the service and the atmosphere, we were both made to feel special. Thank you Buon Gusto!“

“Food was great. Service was excellent even the restaurant was packed at height of dinner. Great food!“

“friendly atmosphere, quick service, really good food!“

“This was my first visit to this storefront Trattoria. While this isn't an attractive venue, it is quite comfortable. All the white tablecloth tabletops make it warm and welcoming. The food is well prepared. There is an ample menu. The caprese salad, Pollo Saltimbocca, and limoncello cake were fantastic. All portions are very generous. Except for the cake. I could have eaten an entire cake, instead of just a slice! Our waiter, Eduardo, was attentive but never intrusive. I'll be back soon.

Parking: 761 Hickey Blvd. - In the Fairmont Shopping Center of Daly City

“The Brazilian food is amazing especially the Moqueca and the Feijoada ((:“

“I’ve been a sandwich lover for years, and Two Cousins Deli is a game-changer. Every time I visit, I’m greeted with a warm smile and a cozy atmosphere that feels like home.

Their turkey and pesto sandwich on Dutch crunch bread is phenomenal. The bread is perfectly toasted, providing that ideal crunch with every bite, and the fresh ingredients make it burst with flavor. The tender turkey combined with their homemade pesto creates a delicious harmony that keeps me coming back for more.

Two Cousins Deli doesn’t just make sandwiches; they create an experience. Highly recommend!“

“OMG, the seasoning on the fried fish was so good!! I ate up all of the cabbage because it was full of flavor. And the candied yams were just perfect. These guys know what they're doing! They're in a food truck in the parking lot of the Hunter's Point Speakeasy.“
