We wanted a snack before bedtime after a day of eating and socializing with extended family in the area.The "B" was a great choice. Free evening parking was just a step away in the San Mateo central parking garage. They had a duo of easy jazz musicians entertaining the room when the 3 of us arrived. We ordered decently priced and tasting Shiraz wine and 2 had large salads, a Caesar and a salmon and greens. We also ordered 1 order of brushetta, consisting of 4 large slices, each cut into 4 bites (16 pieces) making it easy to share among the table. We had the choice of a nice list of toppings, including 2 for which there was a $1 upcharge to the base price of $14 for the order. We ended up choosing 4 different toppings and really liked all our choices, especially prosciutto and fig on marscapone cheese. Our server was efficient and cheerful.

If you want not great pizza, but, AMAZING PIZZA and Italian Food, then come here!!! The dinner I had was spaghetti with clams and OH MY, what a taste explosion. I then had the pizza for lunch the next day, and I can only say...WOW!!!The sauce is good, the crust was that chewy, not burnt but crispy..it is hard for me to explain but the kind of crust that is just right. The service and food make this a must if you are in SM for a visit.The North Beach Pizza family in San Mateo really appreciate your visit and feedback !!!

Looking for something different for lunch, we headed for Vivace Restaurant at Belmont. Ambiance -Very comfortable cozy place. We sat in one of the booths in the far dining room with excellent view of the front window. Food - Bruschetta - Roma tomatoes, roasted yellow and red bell peppers, capers, and olive oil on crostini - very good and nice blend of flavorsFritto Misto - fried calamari and vegetables with smoked chili aioli - very crispy calamariKale Salad - baby kale, dried cranberry, roasted walnut halves, and cheese - great mixture of textureFish of the Day - salute snapper with garlic mashed potatoes and spinach - fish was fresh and deliciousService- Wait staff were efficient and courteous. They cane by several tines to refill the water or freshen the cup of coffee. Away from the usual downtown spots and mall lunch places, I enjoyed my LUNCH SPOT JEWEL... at Vivace Restaurant in Belmont.

Sole is a very small local Italian restaurant that seats about 30 people inside and about 12 outside under their heat lamps. It has kind of a straight forward, no non-sense vibe putting the emphasis on the food rather than the decor although it is clean, bright and attractively laid out. We've eaten there regularly and have never been disappointed whether having the pasta or meat dishes. The wine list is not extensive however their are some fairly priced good Italian Wines such as Chianti Classico Reserve and a nice Sangiavese. They set the table with a 'bottle' of chilled water, bread and tomato style dipping sauce. Waitresses are accommodating and friendly although they seem very busy. Reservations are almost always a must as we've seen groups turned away that did not have them. This would have gotten a 5 star were it not for the sometimes noisy customers in a small space. This is a hidden gem with fair prices and great food.

Great tapa place. Excellent charcuterie, pizza and pasta. Entree dish choices are limited but usually good. Make reservations, gets busy on weekends. Really worth a try if you are tired of Asian food in San Mateo.

We needed a quick dinner near our hotel. At first we thought it wouldnât be fast, because there was a line, but thatâs because you can customize your pizza (all toppings included in price!). Once ordered, the pizza was done very quickly, and it was delicious! Ingredients seemed very fresh. I had fresh basil and pepperoni and I loved it. Only downside was it was too hot to eat at first! Would definitely come here again.

Full scale lunch menu, including lighter faire like salads and pizzas. i had the mussels and my lunch partner had salad. Both were very good. Although the mussels were slightly overcooked, the sauce was excellent. I recommend this restaurant and bet that it would be good for dinner too.

Gnocchi starter was great. Sage sauce and garlic was delicious. Had the pear ravioli which was very good. Wish there was more. Salad was a solid effort. Desert of affogato was fantastic. Others had the chicken parm, awesome and the veal. All enjoyed. Skimpy chicken portions but great flavors. Service was good despite a full house.
