    Our first visit to this truly Charming restaurant was fantastic! Our server (?Linda) was kind, attentive , and knowledgeable. The bread was yummy, and they split our arugula salad for us. The Chianti Classico was lovely, soft and medium bodied with subtle complexity. Nice cocktail variety and the Italian Moretti lager was a great choice. The rigatoni vodka had a delicious slightly creamy slightly spicey tomato sauce that was a perfect blend. Capellini pomodoro was also good. The decor is quaint simple elegance. Parking on street is usually available in this less frenetic neighborhood in Burlingame. Can’t wait for next date night!

    The snapper special was excellent. Perfectly crisped on the outside, tender and moist on the inside. Nicely paired with vegetables and the caper sauce was light and complimentary. We had great service as always.
