- KKarletteVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •52 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoWe arrived far before the time of our reservation. They were still able to seat us right away. We sat outside, but the heaters kept us warm. Service was warm, efficient, and friendly. We started with beets with burrata and toast and then a pizza (great crust!). We thought about dessert but we were already plenty full with just these two dishes.More infoPausa Bar & CookeryPrice: Expensive• Italian• San Mateo•4.7

- OTOpenTable DinerOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoAmour Amour is the perfect cozy date night spot. We had a reservation for Valentine’s and the food and wine exceeded our expectations. The pork belly was excellent and we loved our wine choice (a Russian River Pinot, not sure of the name). Definitely try it out if you’re looking for an intimate date night that’s nice but not stuffy.More infoAmour Amour Wine Bar & TapasPrice: Moderate• Tapas / Small Plates• San Mateo•4.6
