    This restaurant is a whole in the wall but don't let it fool you. I kind of want to gatekeep it because it's so good. Free bread + yummy tomato sauce for dipping to start, which was served freshly hot. The main star of the show was the truffle gnocchi. My bf said it was the best gnocchi dish he's ever had. A huuuuge shout out to our waitress (I forgot her name) for giving us some tiramisu for my bday. It really put a cherry on top for our experience and that's why I'll always support family-owned businesses!!! Def make a reservation if possible, and if you're eating dinner as a walk-in, dress warm as half the seating is outside and San Mateo can get pretty chilly. If you're looking for Italian, try this place! Thank you!

    Whenever me and my kids are craving authentic Italian pasta and dessert we run here! This is the spot for some delicious non pretentious "Italian" cuisine! Their food tastes so fresh, clean, and flavorful! When family and friends crave pasta or Italian dishes this is where I tell them to go! So far all of them are impressed and will come back for sure! The service is impeccable and the staff are nice.

    Hidden gem in San Mateo! cute trattoria that feels authentic and cozy inside. Very small - definitely recommend making a reservation. Both dishes we got were amazing - the pasta dish was Sedanini Con Salciccia E Funghi and the fish was Branzino Alla Siciliana. The branzino came with the most delicious crispy potatoes!
