Excellent meal at Pausa. Not from the Bay Area so a little bit pricey for us but we thoroughly enjoyed. The bombolini might be the best dessert I've ever had.

We had a lovely meal at Pausa Bar & Cookery last night. Our group of five enjoyed several courses with salads, pizza and pastas. The service was excellent and we can't wait to go back for a visit.

Pausa is always an enjoyable experience. They do a wonderful job altering the menu based off the season and no matter what we order it never disappoints. This past evening, we set at the bar and Nick H. was nice and added to the fun of sitting at the bar for a change of pace. Overall, you can't go wrong with Pausa.

We were celebrating a milestone birthday with a party of 12 and had a fabulous experience! Beginning with the menu that was customized with our names to the friendly and attentive server, all of these elements made it a very special evening. The food is always consistently good and there is enough variety on the menu to satisfy all dietary restrictions. I highly recommend Pausa for a special occasion of just a night out.

Wine List was unaffordable, food soso and the desserts were too high end and weird. Top it off our drinks and food took forever. Nope.

Top notch experience from the moment you make reservations, to the warm greeting, to the whole dining experience! Seems like going to a good friend's house for a cozy meal.

Spectacular service; ordinary food. Lots of fuss about the food but it's ordinary at best.

For a restaurant that likes to display Michelin status we were very unimpressed with the overall experience. Appetizers were never brought out . Salads were delivered with our entrees . The pizza was marginal at best . 3 star meal for 5 prices . Won't be back anytime soon .

It was such a wonderful time. Every dish is great and very tasty. The service was perfect ,very friendly and kind. Highly recommend to visit here. If you want to cerebrate birthday, please tell them before! I am sure they will make your day
Not really noisy outside. Good food with menus that change, great cocktails and service. Not cheap but in line with bay area for this quality and service Our fav in San Mateo

Always fabulous! We look forward for the salumi and cheese boards every time. The cocktails, mocktails, salad, pork, halibut and pizzas we had were all perfect, and we had a lovely time sitting outdoors.

The food is nuanced and complex. Every dish had unique and layered combinations of flavors and textures.

We ordered the following items from the menu: Focaccia, Octopus, Pizza Pomodoro, Saffron Spaghetti. The Octopus was meh. The dish included just one tentacle. While it was cooked well, the sauce and the dish was bland for a dish that costed more than $20. The saffron spaghetti was well-executed. The pasta itself was great and cooked well. The beef chicharrones was a great touch to the dish. The focaccia and the pizza pomodoro were amazing. Pausa does their breads super well. I highly recommend to sticking with their pastas and bread, and you won't be disappointed.
