The seafood linguini was very tasty, the mussels were fresh and there were also small scallops and shrimp. The tomato sauce of the linguini was just acidic enough to cut the fishiness of the seafood. We finished our dinner with chocolate lava with vanilla ice cream - there wasn't actually chocolate lava spewing out the cake like I'm used to, but the cake was hot and moist, and paired well with the vanilla ice cream. My aunt frequently likes to dine at this restaurant since she lives near downtown Burlingame, and the menu is pretty solid for a more modern Italian restaurant. There's a bar where solo diners can sit as well. There's interesting decor such as a huge wall of wine bottles. Waiters are attentive, cleared our plates and refill our waters without us asking.

It was a weeknight and showed up around 7 o'clock plenty of seating inside and it's an upscale nice Italian restaurant. Started off with a glass of wine and a Caesar salad and extra points for the anchovies that were fresh. I had the seafood pasta that was out of this world and I wish I could've finished it, but it was so much food. This place is on my list to come back and try again but something different next time I would highly recommend this if you like good Italian food and great service!

If I could give Bistro Arancini more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!…read more From the moment we walked in, Mehmet and his staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The hospitality here is top-notch! Friendly, attentive, and the kind of service that makes you want to come back before you've even finished your meal. The food was outstanding. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, and you can really tell they care about the quality of their ingredients. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, which isn't always easy to find, and every bite was packed with flavor. To top it all off, don't skip dessert. The affogato was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Its simple, rich, and absolutely delicious. It's clear that Mehmet takes a lot of pride in both the food and the experience he provides, and it shows in every detail. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality Italian food in Burlingame with exceptional service to match, Bistro Arancini is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

I am on a restricted diet and our waiter, Alex D, made sure that my food was exactly how it needed it to be. He had to make some adjustments and he did it with a smile and positive attitude. He has been our waiter before and has worked there for 10 years. I recently moved (after having lived in Burlingame for over 45 years) and had dinner there again last night - this will be my "go-to" restaurant now whenever I'm in town.

4.5 star experience…read more My party of 5 arrived on a Saturday evening and got seated within a few minutes. Always love the option to join the online waitlist ahead of time when reservations aren't available. Favorite dishes of the night were: -Gnocchi Fritto appetizer: Never had fried gnocchi before, had a great puffy texture. Truffle taste in the truffle cream sauce wasn't very strong. -Zucchine e Maiz lasagna: Pesto was a great sauce choice and paired well with the zucchini and corn. -Squid Ink Seafood Pasta (special): Generous seafood portions and the dish was flavorful. -Complimentary focaccia: Fluffy and yummy with olive oil. Other dishes: The Italian Sausage lasagna was fine. I personally love crispy lasagna edges, but some people found it too crisp and too dry. The salad (Insalata di Rucola) wasn't mind blowing, but I'm glad we ordered a veg to cut through the richness and heaviness of three carb-heavy entrees. The restaurant itself is smaller than expected, so I would avoid coming here with large parties. It also felt really hot and stuffy inside, which I anticipate getting worse as summer progresses. The interior is cutely decorated. Service was initially attentive. We did have to flag down our waitress multiple times to order and get the check. Overall, my party enjoyed the food and we would come back!

Tried this new restaurant that's hidden away from the main Burlingame Ave. My first impression is…read morethat the decor is really cute, there's fake lemon plants on each table to fit the Capri ambience, and video of people vacationing in Capri playing on the wall inside the restaurant. The foccacia was given to us by our waiter without us asking, even though on the menu it stated we needed to ask. This was very fluffy and can be dipped in the olive oil provided at the table. I was immediately impressed with the lasagna with Italian sausage as I was making my first cut with my knife. I could tell that the pasta was freshly made and the sausage and sauce combo was amazing. I've had a lot of lasagna in my life and this dish stood out to me. The menu gives you an option to create your own pasta dish by choosing your pasta shape, sauce, protein, and topping, so we chose the gnocchi with Alfredo sauce and added chicken as the protein. Gnocchi was nicely dense and chewy, the Alfredo was creamy and not too salty. We ended our meal with dessert, and the waiter recommended tiramisu. I've been to Italy and had tiramisu, and also made it at home several times. The tiramisu was tasty, but what I noticed was that the lady fingers weren't really soaked in the coffee/Kahlua mixture so the dessert as a whole didn't have that flavor that tiramisu is known for, plus the texture was too dry and was more cake like. Also the mascarpone was a bit too hard and not soft, perhaps not enough whipped cream was added. Overall the meal was enjoyable and I would return again to try the other types of lasagnas, and perhaps their gelato.

What we ordered: Prosciutto Di Parma Arugula Pizza (+ burrata) = 100000/10 FOOD: 9/10 Served hot, fresh, and made to order, this pizza truly hit the spot. The crust had those delicious wood-fired charred bits and was the perfect thickness, not too thin, not too thick. The burrata (worth the extra charge!) was rich and creamy, while the arugula added the perfect fresh, crunchy bite. Every ingredient worked so well together. I'm literally salivating as I type this! Paired with some good wine? Chef's kiss! SERVICE: 9/10 Every staff member we interacted with struck the perfect balance of being friendly and laid-back. We sat at the bar, where the bartender also served as our waiter. He was personable, kept up a great conversation, and was attentive without ever making us feel rushed, all while mixing drinks and taking care of other guests. AMBIANCE: 9/10 Spacious, clean, and incredibly inviting. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and all the train station-inspired decor throughout the restaurant. The large windows let in so much natural light that it's an even better place to sit back and enjoy a meal. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the area.

I had been looking forward to trying the Brussels sprouts and the burrata, melon and prosciutto plate, and they definitely lived up to the hype. We also shared the Double Pepperoni and Carne pizzas, which were a great size for the table and perfect for sharing. The food hit the spot, and all of my lunch cravings were definitely satisfied. The only downside was the seating and service. We were placed in a corner at an oddly shaped table that made it a little uncomfortable for everyone to sit. Our waitress was friendly, but the service felt a bit over-attentive. I appreciate staff checking in, but I would have preferred a more relaxed approach...five check-ins would have been plenty instead of ten. Giving guests a little more space to enjoy their meal would make the experience feel even more comfortable. This was my first visit, and despite that minor issue, I really enjoyed the food and had a good experience overall. I'll definitely be back.
