She said she wrote on the reservation "Birthday" and we were seated promptly. Staff were kind and the location is beautiful. It's been in SSF since 2018 and when I looked at the menu, it was nice to see Cafe Figaro as another sister restaurant with the same owner. I love Cafe Figaro and have had a lot of pleasant experiences there! We ordered some wine to start and eventually ordered the watermelon salad and I got the Linguine fruitti di mare. Initially things seemed okay, we got our wine quickly. Servers were smiling. There were 2 servers. We got a watermelon salad with no utensil to serve it, but the server left SO quickly before we could ask. We had to wait a few minutes and then had to ask another server for a spoon. I think that's when we started noticing that the two servers helping on our side were just walking SO fast. It kind of made the ambiance feel rushed and oddly stressful. Like, we are not rushing to eat. BTW we got a reservation for 745pm but they also accept reservations for 8pm. They close at 9pm...(more on this later). We ate calmly when our food came. The food itself was very delicious. However, the service made the whole experience lackluster and incredibly disappointing. I still didn't like how rushed the servers were walking around. I also felt like they were checking often to see how we were doing or if we were done. I felt like I couldn't really eat in peace (being watched but in an odd, invasive way). It was getting to be 8:55 (which we hadn't noticed the time as much), but we asked for a box for my dish to go. I was barely finishing putting it away in the box and the server already came to try to take my plate. I was like "I'm not even done...". RUSHING US. The main server then just came to drop off a check. At NO point did they ask us if we wanted dessert or even earlier on, to say "Btw the kitchen is closing soon, would you like to order dessert.". He just brought the check. We asked, could we order dessert? The server was like "I don't know. I'd have to ask the kitchen but they may not allow it." We were like "Nvm then." We were already annoyed with the situation. I noticed it was 8:57 and one of the servers was already tearing off all the tablecloths from the table. It was very evident they wanted us all out but I guess in other restaurants, even if it's past 9 (a little past 9), they understand that people may trickle out slowly. It wasn't even 9 yet and it already felt they wanted us all out. Especially how rushed they felt overall. When the server came, he said "next time, desserts on me" and I said "there's not going to be a next time." I explained how stressed and rushed it felt, especially with them rushing from table to table like it was a race, and that it was for a birthday and they didn't even give us a heads up to purchase dessert. He kept saying " I don't think I rushed you" and didn't really apologize. My sister too explained she even wrote this was for a birthday and that they were just making us feel like we needed to hurry. We ended up going to Cochinita next door to get dessert and they were so kind, not rushing. I should have gone there instead for dinner or any other Italian place. If you don't want people there at 9pm, don't accept reservations at 7:30, or 7:45 or 8pm. You will be kicked out 40 minutes within your meal as you will see they are subtly trying to kick you out. Go somewhere else where you won't feel rushed and will have a much more pleasant experience. This was surprising to me because I've been to Cafe Figaro multiple times and I've always had such a good experience. Here felt so odd like I was in a diner or a more informal place where it is more normal for waiters/servers to be rushing from table to table. It was an unpleasant experience and would recommend another spot instead with a more pleasant eating experience.

A menu of exquisite entrees wetting ones appetite anticipating an evening of aperitivo, savory antipasto, primo and secondo. The beet salad was not like the one your aunt would bring to the family reunion which was heavy and too sweet, this one was fresh, crispy lettus with a light taste of cheese. The clam chowder was also light but creamy, not heavy or over loaded with potatoes or clams the perfect primo. My wife's salmon was enhanced with a lemon cream sauce and the grilled braising pleased the palate. The Veal Marsala was tender and the red meat sauce and mashed potatoes was both a delicacy and a comfort. Coupled with a chianti classico, the evening was a date night to remember.

I attended a team dinner at Sapore Italiano, and upon entering the restaurant, I felt like I was…read morestepping into a nostalgic vision of a classic Italian-American restaurant. Tables were draped in white tablecloths, and the walls were covered with photos and historic memorabilia that paid homage to the city of Burlingame. Our party was seated in a semi-private nook in the back of the restaurant; while it was nice to be in a quieter part of the restaurant for dinnertime conversation, it felt like our table was oddly positioned between the kitchen and restroom because servers and customers were constantly passing by our table. It took a while for our server to take our orders, but the food came out quickly after we ordered. One small hiccup was our server forgot to place one of our entree orders, and there was a ten minute delay for this last entree to come out. The food was all-around hearty and delicious. We ordered the arugula salad, calamari, arancini, and bruschetta to share, and I ordered the squid ink pasta as my entree. The squid ink pasta was the highlight for me; it's definitely a special treat since I rarely find this on menus. According to the menu description, Sapore makes their own squid ink pasta from scratch, and the noodles definitely tasted fresh. The pasta was tossed with a generous portion of seafood, including mussels, clams, giant shrimp, squid, and salmon - all of which was cooked perfectly. The tomato sauce was cream-based, so the overall dish was very rich. We miraculously saved room for dessert, and our table passed around the tiramisu, lava cake, and cannoli to share. This meal was the definition of ultimate comfort food.

The male server with geled long hair I think jimmy just kept walking by the table and looking at the appetizers. He didn't give an update on the entrees. Looked at clock finally got the mains at 7:13, over a hour for 4 dishes. They definitely forgot about the order. After everything came out he didn't check on the table to see if everything was ok. He just came at the end and asked if needed boxes and dropped off check. As far as food everything was ok. But the service was horrendous.

It was busy and we were lucky to grab a seat in the corner. We ordered the pizza with the burrata on top, onion rings, and meatballs. The pizza was really good. Thin crust and crispy with no flop. The toppings and pizza sauce all worked well together to make for really good pizza. The onion rings are also really good. Very crispy and they gave a lot! The meatballs were really good. The tomato sauce on top was pretty savory and I enjoyed it. Overall I'd come back. I enjoyed the food and my time here.

Upon entering, I was confused- were we supposed to wait to be seated or do we choose our own table? No one made it clear, instead people were walking around us to serve tables. We walked up to the bar and the bartender let us know we can sit anywhere. We sat in a booth up top. The vibe looked semi-formal, but I guess it was super casual. Looking at the menu, the pizzas were all pretty unique! What caught my eye was the Mushroom pizza which had portobello mushroom, cheese, thyme + scallions, and a creamy garlic white sauce. I'm a sucker for mushrooms and my five year old who is picky af likes them too. She enjoyed her slice. I felt the pizza was delicious but could use some parm and pepper flakes. We also ordered the Brooklyn. Omg, my favorite pizza now surpassing Blue Line's White Pie on my list. Pepperoni, jalapenos, basil, ricotta (omg!), and hot honey. Salivating just thinking about it. Downed these slices with a pint and the rest was history. I do have to note that the booths and tables were full of crumbs. Understandable as it's a pizzeria, but it would be nice for someone to clean in between guests. The staff member behind the bar had served us our meal and drinks as well and he was very kind. We will definitely be coming back to Industry!
