Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Daly City

Very cute location and the pizza is delicious. Tight area but adds to the experience.

I celebrated my friend's bday at Pausa last night. The place was lively. I have sat at the bar, chef's table. Our food, service were great! Katie took care of us. What impressed me the most was the timing. We did not feel rushed - dishes, drinks, refill appeared perfectly timed. We both look forward to future gatherings at Pausa.

Excellent pasta, great wine and spectacular vibe. Very attentive staff and service. Will definitely make a return visit.

Dining at Barberio Osteria last night was one of the most satisfying dining experiences I’ve had in years!! When I and my two dining companions tried the amazingly fresh bread and wonderfully unique olive oil that they presented us I knew we were in for an unforgettable dining experience. Their sommelier paired our meals with a fragrant and effervescent medium bodied red wine that was perfect. Their pastas in our dishes were fresh and wonderfully textured. I had the Malloreddus while my friends ordered the Pappardelle and Cappelletti. The Papparelle in particular was OUTSTANDING, and I’ll order it on my next visit! We finished our meals with a Meyer Lemon sorbetto and dessert that isn’t currently on the online menu. But the featured hazelnut sauce will stick with me for a long time. The bottom line is this dining experience was so pitch perfect from beginning to end that a day later I am compelled to write this review. I will bring other friends to this restaurant so that they too can have the joy of experiencing it.

The pasta class was an awesome experience! We learned how to hand knead artisanal flour and make 4 types of hand-pressed and 4 types of filled pasta while learning the history/background for each. They showed us the machines they use to make their extruded pasta and freely answered all our questions. Beverages and fresh rosemary shortbread were available throughout the 3.5 hour class. After we finished making our pasta we got to observe them being prepared into the dishes we dined on afterward. Our teachers were very knowledgeable and helpful. I definitely recommend
