50 Best Italian Restaurants near San Bruno

“We had our grandmother's celebration of life. Staff was amazing. The restaurant is closed from 2:30 to 4:30 and we were able to rent out the entire restaurant during that time. The restaurant was large enough to accommodate all of our family and friends who came to celebrate my grandmother's celebration of life. The food was delicious and exquisite.“

“I had lunch at Roma Deli and ordered a chicken sandwich that was delicious.

The person who served me was patient and professional, from our phone conversation all the way to the in-person order.

The place is clean, tidy, the team is great and the service was quick, I barely waited. Fresh ingredients.

I was going through a stressful situation as my flight at San Francisco Airport was disrupted and I had been given hotel and meal vouchers. Roma Deli accepted the meal vouchers without any hassle, which I really appreciated.

I would definitely recommend this place to international travelers staying nearby, or anyone simply looking for a great sandwich. Thank you“

“Best pizza ever! I’ve been eating totos for 50 years! In my opinion it’s THE BEST!“

“Exceeded expectations. Extensive menu. Highly recommended!“

“It's been a classic in SF for so long for a reason. This is a must visit. Book early or you will not get in. If you fail to get in look up their sister restaurant penny roma, also incredible. The best deal here is the tasting menu. You 100% get your money's worth and get to try several off menu items. I live a 2+ hour flight away and I'll always try to get a table when I visit.“

“Such an amazing restaurant! This is how restaurants were before instagram. You come here for the delicious food and friendly service, then you come again. The octopus was a standout dish, served in olive oil where you can dip your bread. The menu is Italian focused on seafood, very authentic.“

“In July of this year we celebrated our 60 th wedding anniversary by booking their side room.for a dinner party. Carlos , manager , was so helpful in planning menu and each guests could order thatvnite with everyone menu. We had choice of 2 salads, 5 entrees and 2 desserts. Our guests all raved about food and service. There was a table with appetizers for guests as they arrived and presented so nicely. Couldn’t have been happier and we were not charged for the room which several other places wanted to charge for just room. My daughter in law was able to go over that Saturday morning to decorate and put all flower arrangements in the tables. It looked amazing. Can’t say enough good things about the evening. Good service the best ‘“

“Positives were the little gem salad and really very delicious porcini ravioli. Margherita pizza was pretty good, maybe needed more cheese and sauce. Orecchiette pasta was very good, but needed maybe some more seasoning and sauce. Our server Kelsey B was excellent. Lovely ambiance and great value. For a small neighborhood restaurant, this place was really a nice dinner! Wish they had real cocktails, but just wine beer and low ABV, which I understand is the case sometimes!“

“Still dreamin’ about the meatballs from Angie’s… had I known better, I would’ve ordered the extra meatball. 😭

Angie’s is a cute, chic restaurant specializing in wood-fired pizza and a seasonal rotating menu. Such a perfect spot for date night!

Absolutely loved the R&B music, the vibes, and, of course, mopped up every last bit of food. 😂

We ordered the heirloom tomato salad, wood-fired meatballs, Margherita pizza, and peach vanilla sundae — and everything was DELICIOUS. It completely satisfied every pizza craving we had.

On a previous visit, we ordered the pepperoni pizza to-go, and OMG. It might be one of the most perfectly balanced pizzas I’ve had — sweet, spicy, savory, and just the right amount of everything.

Great food, great vibes, and a great date-night spot. Definitely coming back for those meatballs. 🍕“

“I got the Italian Panino delivered and I can’t rave enough about this amazing sandwich. The ciabatta is perfect, all the ingredients tasted so fresh. The veggies didn’t get soggy or weird. My friend got the chicken panino and also was obsessed. We’ll be ordering again for sure!“

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

“Cute little Italian restaurant. Superb service and mouth watering menu!“

“From start to finish, we had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious and you could really taste the high-quality ingredients in every dish. We ordered the garlic cheese bread, meatballs, salami calzone, chicken parm, veal parm, and the cacio e pepe pasta, and every single item was outstanding. We ended our night with tiramisu & cannolis, they were both light and decadent. There wasn't a single dish we didn't love.

The service was just as impressive. Our food came out quickly, and the servers were attentive, friendly, and made sure we always had what we needed. Even after the restaurant got busy, the staff handled everything so smoothly. They had such a great flow, and the level of service never changed despite the rush.

Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience with incredible food and exceptional service. We will definitely be back!“

“A hidden gem of a family-run Italian restaurant—don’t be misled by the humble exterior. Inside, you’re welcomed with genuine hospitality and unforgettable food. My husband and I ordered the filet of sole and the white Provini veal scallopini—both were bursting with flavor and perfectly portioned. This isn’t a place for flashy plating—it’s all about honest, delicious Italian cooking made with care. The host greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel instantly at home. The retro, moody lighting adds a cozy, nostalgic touch. We’ll definitely be back! Tip: Make a reservation—this spot stays busy, and for good reason.“
