“Found this place to eat by our hotel at the airport in San Francisco last night. Highly recommend everyone to go there if you want a great spot for dinner. Our server Katrina was amazing. She was so attentive and knowledgeable. The food was a combination of all different types of food around Italy. She told us the menu is always changing depending on seasonal ingredients. The wine is all Italian as well and the chef is from northern Italy we were told. The atmosphere was amazing. Great vibe in there and it was packed on a Wednesday night. We loved everything we tried especially the bone marrow, beet salad, tagliatelle, pizza and especially the sheep ricotta doughnuts. I would definitely go back. Probably the best service I have had in Bay Area as well.“
“We had our Italian family gathering at La Lanterna on a Sunday afternoon. They opened specially for our event. I had made all the arrangements in advance with Michael, including the menu. The event went off perfectly and flawlessly. The food, from the appetizers to the deserts was outstanding, especially the gnocchi. This restaurant is a perfect place to have a special event! And there is no charge for the room.“
“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.“
“Ist time here and impressed. Wanted coffee in a real cup and almond croissant and stayed for the ambiance! Italian music playing in the background and a window seat to view the creek. Talk about relaxing ☺️ A lot of locals here so I know they've found a great spot!!!They offer breakfast and lunch, will have to try these another time. Can imagine this spot with the umbrellas on a summer morning. Give it a try ❤️“
“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.“
“Smallish, popular Italian restaurant. Bruschetta is not to be missed. Spaghetti is tasty. Lasagna is great. This time I tried a steak - really. And it was really, really good.Parking can be sketchy. Stay is just so very helpful and caring. Highly recommended.“
“Our server, Stacy, was amazing! So friendly and efficient. We went for our son’s birthday and everything was perfect. And so nice to see Suzy, one of the owners, again. She always takes the time to chat for a few minutes with us. Just a lovely time. Thank you Stacy and Suzy!“
“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.“
“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!“
“The atmosphere is like a nice coffee shop/cafe but the food quality is excellent! The cafe name and the atmosphere are very deceiving. The food brought back memories of our trip to Florence last year! Pasta is fresh, sauces are rich. Had the amatriciana with a unique pasta shape and my husband had the Bolognese. All so fresh and good. The mussels app - excellent! Fresh and the tomato based sauce they were cooked in absolutely required more bread to soak it all up. Prices were extremely reasonable, very limited wine list but don't let that stop you if you want really good, fresh, reasonably priced pasta. Can't wait to go back. They also sell pastas and sauces for you to make at home.“
“Mr.pizza Man is by far one of the best pizza places on the peninsula. There are so many different pizzas places on the peninsula. I sometimes try other pizza places but always come back to Mr.pizza man! They always use quality ingredients their customer service is great and their pizza just is delicious. The Mozzarella cheese they use is top notch plus I love their crust. Not to thick bit not to thin..perfection!!“

“Had the best pizza of my life in Santa Cruz (Pizza My Heart) but, the recipe was a bit different here. The ingredients or the way the baked it didn't have the same harmonious effect, however it was still delicious with all the whole garlic slices. Still a fantastic pizza. Definitely recommend the "The Big Sur". The whole garlic slice will change your life.“

“North Beach Pizza in San Mateo is a diamond among pizza places near me. The inviting air and different menu set up for a brilliant eating experience. Whether it's an exemplary number one or a specialty pizza, the quality and taste are reliably outstanding, making it a nearby for pizza lovers.“
“It's always a pleasure dining at Vespucci! Not only is the food amazing and delicious, Francesco and Manuela are just as wonderful! We do not get to dine there as often since we live in the East Bay, but anytime we have, they are always so warm and welcoming and very invested in building an amazing relationship with us and getting to know us.“
