    We went on a Monday night so aside from one big party in a separate room, it wasn’t busy. One gal was working both rooms and did a fabulous job. We both had the mushroom soup and cod special and both were outstanding. Opera cake for desert was great too. We were here a month ago on a Thursday and it was packed. Food and service were outstanding then too.

    Lovely space and wonderful food. Place was packed, so extremely noisy and difficult to converse. Often tried to find a server. A great place to fine when it’s less crowded.

    There’s no reason food should have taken so long to come out, restaurant wasn’t even busy, plenty of empty tables. Took about 20 mins before we got bread for what ever reason.

    Great experience at this restaurant. The service was wonderfully attentive, but not intrusive, and the food was delicious and a very good value for the money. Highly recommend.

    What a surprisingly wonderful hidden gem in Burlingame! In the old location of Stella Alpina, a new lighter/brighter decor. Went with a friend and we ordered price fixed menu, which includes full size servings of any appetizer, entree and dessert. Laura was an amazing server, offering us multiple tastes of wine to assist with our choice, helping us choose foods based on our tastes. She didn’t rush us but rather was warm and attentive. Made for a wonderful evening. Food was delicious! Will definitely return.
