Make a reservation!! This place gets really busy, especially on weekends. We had to sit at the bar even with a reservation! Service was a little slow, but that's because they were so busy. They were still friendly and professional. And the food! Oh my gosh the pizza was absolutely delicious. And the pasta was wonderful. Our mixed drinks were strong and tasty. Definitely worth a visit!

In A Nutshell: -Pausa Bar & Cookery is really nice spot for a meal in downtown San Mateo. -You can sit indoors or outdoors. -The bone marrow is some of the best I've had (you get a really nice amount), I love spreading this on bread. -The charcuterie board is also a nice order if you want to taste some really good cheese paired w/ cured meats, fats & liver. -The pizza, pasta & fish plates were also spectacular. Overall, this is just another great restaurant you will find in & around downtown San Mateo, a true foodie town.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the Bay Area. Has a great atmosphere, wine/beer list and absolutely delicious food. A great place for a date night.

Bunch of house-made salami! Yum yum. Didn’t reserve a table but was super lucky that we got a table on a Friday night! Service is great, too. Please be mindful some dishes are seasonal.
