We had been hoping to go back to Flea Strret for a year and we were not disappointed when we finally got a reservation and dined last night. Jesse greeted us at the door, the service was very good and every choice from the beef tartare to the wild King salmon was delicious. It was a lovely evening and we won’t let another year pass before we return.

Vespucci is a San Mateo gem. With so many Asian restaurants in town, it’s nice to have such a fabulous alternative. The food is excellent, the wine list is well-curated, the service is very good, the prices are reasonable and the proprietors are very charming. You can’t miss when you dine here!
