Best Restaurants with a Notable Wine List in Burlingame

It was a Tuesday which was wonderful as they were barely busy but it did pick up by the time we finished. Hostess and waitress were wonderful and welcoming, very happy the customers were there. My dish was okay- fettuccine chicken carbonara, it was creamy and had chicken but was lacking overall flavor- definitely missing garlic and a few other regular things. The other dish was spaghetti and meatballs, flavorful and filling. The wedge salad was perfect! I guess if you order a Caesar you have to ask for anchovies as they were not offered and it didn’t taste like they were in the dressing. Would I go back- absolutely as they have so many other dishes to choose from I would score a 7 out of 10

Charming American-Italian Spot Just Off Burlingame Avenue Tucked away on a quiet side street off Burlingame Avenue, this American-Italian restaurant offers a peaceful escape from the usual Sunday crowds. With only a few other guests during our visit, we enjoyed open seating and chose a lovely outdoor table shaded by umbrellas—perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends. The service was warm and attentive throughout, although the drinks arrived after our meals, which was a bit of a letdown. The food, however, made up for it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. We tried the Penne Bolognese with wagyu meat ragù, the gluten-free Ravioli di Bufala di Campana topped with brown butter and sage, a fresh Caprese sandwich, and Focaccia bread that was ideal for sharing. Each dish showcased quality ingredients and excellent preparation. That said, the portion sizes were on the smaller side considering the premium price point. Overall, it was a lovely lunch experience for a friendly gathering, and I’d most likely return to try other dishes on the menu.

What a great small place - very good food and nice surroundings

Great dining experience - Denise was an excellent addition to the evening with her attention to our guests and the table. Food was great as always - thank you -

Wonderful selections. New server left a little bit to be desired when it came to customer service. Business dinner with a client this evening. Server decided early on that she needed to inform us of a larger party reservation and the 'need' for her to move us if we needed more time. Hence the 4 stars
