The menu has so many great seafood options, especially if you're a crab lover. They offer a variety of different crab flavors, so there's a good chance you'll find one that fits your taste. The crab was flavorful, saucy, and so satisfying to dig into. They even give you bibs upon request, which honestly feels necessary if you're planning to go all in. The prawns were also a highlight. They were a decent size, cooked well, and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the garlic noodles, which were great and exactly the kind of buttery, garlicky carb moment you want with seafood. The green beans were a nice addition too and helped balance out the meal with something fresh and veggie-forward. The only thing I'd probably skip next time would be the raw oysters which didn't taste as fresh. Their fried chicken was delicious though! Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly, which made the whole experience even better. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better casual seafood feast. It was so good that my husband and I actually came back two days later just to get the fried chicken and crab again. That pretty much says it all.

Oh how PPQ used to be one of our favorite places to get fresh crab cooked different ways. Now it is…read morejust a restaurant that is overpriced and average. This location in Millbrae is big and good for large parties. Parking around dinner time is always challenging but we always find a spot using some patience and circling. Food is not as good as it used to be but some dishes are still solid. One example is the peppercorn crab, a family favorite through many years. The tiger prawns were overcooked and the grilled pork was tough to chew. For seven of us, we got the special for six and added a couple of extra dishes. Service was also subpar because PPQ no longer offers fried banana with ice-cream. Dessert is just Mitchell's ice-cream on cones. We heard the table next to us get asked what flavors they wanted. Our dessert came with two of each of the three flavors offered, coconut, green tea and mango. The other disappointment was the server/restaurant couldn't even bring themselves to just comp us one extra cone seeing there were seven of us. For the price we paid, there are plenty of other better restaurants on the peninsula to give our business to.

Over sixty of us came for a club luncheon. They let us have the private room and it was just the…read moreright size for us. It was a buffet luncheon of prime rib, salmon, rigatoni pasta, vegetable medley and a cake dessert which the club provided. There was one tray of each food therefore we were limited to one piece or scoop to each person. The food was a little chintzy as it was half a slice of prime rib and small chunks of salmon. We were able to offer a second helping of rigatoni and prime rib. The prime rib was A little fatty but was tender. I enjoyed The salmon even thought it was small and not overcooked. I think the restaurant could have made up for this if they added bread and butter and perhaps a salad. We were able to stay, mingle and dance in that private room for the entire afternoon which was an added bonus. Everyone had a good time and the staff cut and plated the cake for all. The room for pretty heated even when the windows were open even with the four ceiling fans running. Otherwise, everyone had a fun afternoon. Thank you sixteen mile house!

I used the promotion on the website to get 2 free pounds of shrimp as well as the #7 combo (shrimp, mussels, crawfish). I got the combo in the super ultimate sauce. The flavor of the sauce was pretty good, and you get a lot of it in the bag. It was interesting because it had a bit of a tomato-y scent to it, almost like creamy spaghetti sauce, but it also reminded me of instant ramen flavoring (lol)?? I like that the sauce didn't taste as salty or as unhealthy as Boiling Crab's sauce, which has a ton of butter and leaves me chugging water afterwards. As for the seafood itself, the shrimp was good but a bit overcooked. My favorite part of shrimp is eating the heads, but these heads did not taste very good or fresh. Similarly, I got a few mussels that were closed which means they were dead before cooking and have to be tossed. I also wish they had a combo that was shrimp + mussels + clams because I don't really like crawfish. I do like that the combo comes with some sides, but the sausage pieces should definitely be bigger than some skinny slices. Overall taste of the bag was fine, and it was piping hot so seems like it was really freshly cooked when I picked up. Cajun Bowl hit the spot and I'm glad I have this option close to home!

The service was alright however the servers kept leaving us every few minutes and it took forever for them to take our order. We got the shrimp mac and cheese (spicy) and the 1lb of snow crab legs (mild) with the super ultimate sauce with an addition of sausage and broccoli. The shrimp mac and cheese was very delicious and the crab legs were large and meaty. While pretty good, the crab was a bit overcooked and the sauce we had gotten lacked a lot of flavour and was thick and pasty rather than seasoned well. The sausage was very good though. Overall the experience was quite nice but lacking in some departments.

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!

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!

My order: Complimentary Focaccia-- Apologies for the picture because we scarfed it down, it was so good!! Super fresh and delicious. Gnocchi Fritto -- Fried gnocchi with truffle sauce. This is a must try for their appetizer honestly! I loved its crunch and soft texture with the truffle sauce. Build your own pasta -- I loved how they have this as an option! We were trying to get our protein in by getting Rigatoni, Bolognese, AND meatballs. Super heavy in the best way haha. Lasagna Pollo alla Vodka -- Now this was super heavy, but so delicious. I've never had a lasagna with chicken OR with vodka pasta, it was amazing. New flavors for me for sure, but I do recommend this!
