Delicious bonanza wine. Clam and garlic pizza pie ordered. The seafood linguine was placed. Orders came out fast and hot. Like always the food was on point.

Stopped by on errands meat store near this restaurant and what struck me is the jukebox display upon entering- when we checked the menu, family wants some pizza and we decided to try. We had zuppa di mare, chicken pesto pizza and some marinara sauce, calamari , lasagna and tiramisu. BTW, the people are welcoming even though bussers - ready to clean the area right away and refill water. I like my soup and the pizza was good - not salty. The tiramisu- closed your eyes and dig in - so mouth- watering. read more

We picked up Blondie at SFO, and looked for a nearby Italian place that included pizza options, in case they wanted one. O Sole Mio was 5 minutes away, perfect. It's a small place, in the midst of mostly Asian shops and restaurants. The decor was very cute, with the classic feel of checked tablecloths and old music playing. There's a working jukebox that we used for some Tony Bennett. Out waitress was Antonia, extremely perky and friendly. She brought us very hot bread quickly and took our orders. There was no shortage of options. I had clams over linguine with white sauce, The Wife had eggplant parmigiana, and Blondie had pesto gnocchi. I also had two glasses of house reds, with four varieties available! The food was fine, not great. The white sauce needed significantly more seasoning and/or garlic, and the parm was the same texture throughout, a bit mushy. The caprese salad was good, and Blondie liked their garlic bread, which was cheesy (not my preference). The two of us ordered cannoli, which had small shells that were two thick, and the interior wasn't particularly sweet. I also need to remember to ask about cherries. I don't care for maraschinos, but fortunately Blondie was there to eat them all. Not a bad experience by any means, but more attention to flavors is needed. read more

Great service, some surprise menus introductions including tasty pizza. Glad they're nearby!

Italian in San Francisco, O Sole Mio is your spot! Located south of the city in the Millbrae area, O' Sole Mio is a small intimate Italian diner with fresh flavors. Surrounded by a multitude of Asian establishments, O' Sole Mio offers down home Italian meals and an ambiance that very relaxed. While visiting for in the area on a work-trip, my team did dinner. Our server was amazing recommending favorites, breaking down the menu and welcoming us. In a mood for a lighter fair I went with the Linguini Shrimp & Salmon. The dish itself was filling, however flavors were a little bland. A table appetizer of garlic bread was ordered, the freshness was off the charts! read more

Shout out to Patrick's service, and the general staff's effort to accommodate our party of 5 without reservation on a Friday night. Gives the old school restaurant vibes and it's been here for awhile. Food was good (not amazing but good), menu not overwhelming with a million options, pizza for kids, pasta and entrees, easy. Had the lasagna and per Patrick's assurance, it was good. They were able to accommodate a vodka penne for my sister. Fun with the jukebox. The food is really 3 stars but friendly service and quick accommodations give it that extra star. Would come back! read more

Been going to this restaurant for years and it's always consistently tasty meals everytime!! The decor and little Italy style is one of my favorite parts about this place! They have old music playing to give the authentic feel while the staff always treats you like family! I make sure to bring everyone I know who hasn't been here at least once (it's never just once though) so thankful this restaurant is in my hometown!!! read more

They make the absolute best pizza San Mateo County. Their dough is fresh, their sauce is very tasty, they put a good amount of quality tasty cheese, this restaurant pizza is better than any pizza parlor in the area. read more

Best date night spot! Such cozy vibes - perfect to share a bottle of Chianti and eat (multiple) loaves of fresh sourdough. The pasta dishes are incredible and the mixed green salad with house made italian dressing is a must! Can't wait to come back here with my fiance for decades! read more

Spacious restaurant with a large selection of food options, there is something for everyone. Baby friendly too, we were able to park our stroller next to our table and they also have a diaper changing station in the bathroom. The pizza was a little undercooked. It could use more sauce since the dough is extra dense. Delicious lasagna, the staff all seem to rave about this dish. It's definitely a good option if you love lasagna. So saucey and perfect to use up the sauces with their complimentary white bread. Calamari were well seasoned and the batter is airy and crispy. The bruschetta was ok, heavy handed with the balsamic. read more

Cozy Italian restaurant and friendly staff. Unfortunately some of the items ordered were bland and a bit dry. Appetizers: calamari and bruschetta. Calamari was a bit fishy but it was not bad. The bruschetta however had to be my favorite out of everything we ordered. Very flavorful and just the right amount of tomatoes. Entrees: Lasagna: staff mentioned this was one of the best items on the menu. It did not disappoint. Chicken parm: it was bland, could use more seasoning. NY Steak: it was good but a bit too charred on the outside. Penne with sausage and peppers: tomato sauce was bland. Could also use more spices. Pizzas: we ordered a custom pie with mushroom and sun dried tomatoes. It was very disappointing and bland. No sauce and very little toppings. We also ordered a large pie: half Hawaiian and half margherita pizza: again very little toppings and also very bland. Would be nice if they made it saucier. Dessert: the limoncello cake sounded good so we got that complimentary as part of the Yelp check-in. It was not bad. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration. It was a lovely restaurant with old school juke boxes on the walls, gingham tablecloths, and vine decor everywhere. The staff was very nice and attentive. The food depended on what you ordered. The lasagna was some of the best I have ever had, as was the tiramisu which was very light and airy and delectable. The fettuccine Alfredo was pretty basic and a little boring but the chicken was fantastic and flavorful. It was a really fun restaurant and proved plenty of space and time for our group! Very friendly restaurant with good food. read more

It seemed quite busy for a Wednesday night since it took them 5 minutes before acknowledging us at the door. The first staff finally came to ask us if we were dining in. So we said we were helped when another asked us again. However the first staff never came back. Finally a third staff seated us. When asking the third staff if the spaghetti was enough to share, he couldn't answer us and asked a fourth staff to come help us. The fourth staff bluntly said "no", when I asked if the portion was enough for two. (It was). The service and attitude felt blunt. We started with complimentary bread and it was toasted and warm with side of butter. We ordered the fried calamari and it was good, enough to share between 2 or 3 people. The spaghetti with mushroom sauce was okay and enough to share between 2 people if you order other items. However we had to pay extra to add meatballs. The O' Sole Mio pizza crust was thick and the bottom not very crispy. I don't think they are known for pizza. They did pack the leftovers for us, something I don't see often at restaurants, so a positive note on that. Overall I've passed by this place many times over the years and finally tried it. If I were to come back I would give other items a try and the ones we did a pass. read more

We came here specifically for its proximity to SFO for our late arrivals, it could accommodate our group of 10 and there was something for everyone on the menu, including kids. Our server was so friendly and helpful, especially with recommendations. Our party ordered fried calamari, NY steak, veal cutlet, zuppa di mare, fettucini dishes, ravioli and assorted desserts to fill our empty bellys. Everything was delicious from start to finish. The decor was very old school Italian--reminded me a lot of restaurants in North Beach--the gingham tablecloths (albeit vinyl), the old school framed photos and even the tabletop juke box. It had a great vibe. This is a wonderful family restaurant and I definitely return. read more

My favorite place to have dinner with Dad when I visit him in Millbrae. I love everything about the experience from start to finish, from the time we are seated, served a basket of bread, and order a glass of red wine, until Dad finishes with a bowl of vanilla ice cream, and I with a cup of decaf. The food is hearty and delicious, the service is friendly and prompt, and the ambience is so very old school San Francisco, with juke boxes on some of the tables and Tony Bennett singing I Left My Heart in San Francisco at least once per visit. read more

We went here for dinner at the recommendation of Faith at the hotel we were staying at! The parking nearby is free, so it was no problem finding one in the area. We ordered: - Chicken Piccata - Lobster Linguini - Rack of Lamb Complimentary bread is provided along with fresh water. We also ordered caprese salad to go. Overall, the service was great. The servers are very kind and hospitable. They will refill your water if they notice it is getting low or empty. The food selections we had were positive. The vegetables are especially delicious. The chicken piccatta was nicely flavored. The lamb was cooked well. I can't speak much on the linguini, but the lobster pieces were good. Limoncello was also a nice selection for those wanting dessert. read more

Didn't have the highest hopes, but I left pleasantly surprised. My date and I shared the O'Sole Mio pizza, which included mushrooms, salami, ham, pepperoni and sausage. The dough had a good chew and flavor. We visited on one of the warmer days (75 degrees plus) and it was pretty hot in the restaurant. Would have appreciated if the AC was turned on. Also on the downside, other tables got bread and butter but we didn't get any. Is it because we only got pizza? It would have been nice if it was offered. read more

My family and I celebrated my niece's birthday at O'Sole Mío. We were seated right away and the service was great! We ordered calamari and bruschetta to start, and it was delicious.

It is a cute and cozy restaurant! read more

There right at 4pm, sat down and ordered a salad, appetizer and a pasta for the three of us to share. Food we good, caprese salad and crab cakes were great. Pomodoro capellini was good but not our favorite. Pasta was over cooked and a bit too soft. We were catching up and having a nice time but the low stars were for the waiter asking us to move to a table behind us. No reason given. No one waiting either just odd that they asked us to move while No-one was there waiting, which just made us feel unwelcome and we left. Service was great up till then. Maybe an explanation and we would have felt less unwelcome? read more

Girls were craving pasta and this was the only place to come to mind. Called in on a Saturday night to see how busy they were and surprisingly they weren't. We arrived and they had actually set up a table for us so we were seated immediately. We decided to share a few items and the Girls decided on - fettuccine Alfredo with chicken - once the sauce was mixed in, it was good. It was very creamy but I do think it could've used a bit more salt or maybe more parm. I felt it was lacking a bit. I added more parm but still could've used more. - baked ziti - it was delicious. No complaints on this one. - clam & garlic pizza. Omg, yum. If you've had golden boy, this is right up there with it if not better! The crust was delicious even after sitting in the fridge and reheating 2 days later. We'd come back just for the pizza at this point. Service was great. Very nice atmosphere and they are very attentive. You can tell they care about their customers and know who their regulars are. Definitely coming back again! read more

So I had came here twice but forgot to write my first review so these will just combine both of them. The first trip: I was a recovering diarrhea person and had to take it extremely lightly with my stomach so my dinner order was not something I typically would get (just keep in mind) Minestrone soup: don't bother - I'm more used to noodles with my minestrone soup and this was heavy on the fixings (which if you enjoy then go for it but not for me). Spaghetti w/tomato sauce: its... spaghetti with tomato sauce. It wasn't GREAT tomato sauce but it was edible and at the moment (and maybe it was because I was feeling sick I couldn't taste much) it was okay. Second trip: I came back HEALED and ready to actually eat! Calamari: it was ok, not a lot of tentacles so if you're into tentacles, it might not be the best for you. Pizza Margherita: It was good! We got a small pizza for an app for 8 people, came with 5 slices BUT the slices were large so we could split them. Baked ziti: tried it even though I saw a photo and it looked like dried noodles with cheese I thought it was going to be gross BUT I GAVE IT A CHANCE: SPOILER ALERT - I shouldn't've. It was... okay. I've had better baked ziti, and the chef was my brother (who is not a chef). The cheese was way too cheesy Desserts: THE HIGHLIGHT!!!! Honestly if this was a dessert place, this would get a 5/5 but it isn't. It's a dinner place where the entrees are the main stars. Tiramisu: it was good! very large Creme Brulee Cheesecake: the waiter recommended it and I'm glad he did! I am not a fan of creme brulee so I was a little skeptical but I really really enjoyed it! Limoncello Marscopone Cake: it was good! Nice and tart, sponge cake and light and fluffy. read more

I've gone to O Solo Mio when it was on Chestnut Street in San Francisco and I was 18! The bus boy became eventually the owner of the restaurant bought it from the owner with one stipulation that he kept the name....... brought it to Millbrae!

Wonderful staff, wonderful waiters, just like going home and having dinner at Mama's or Nona's house!! BASTA! read more

Came here for dinner on Saturday night with my husband to enjoy our night off. Everything started off perfect... food, service, ambience...

You gotta love this gem of a restaurant. Old school Italian. We decided to have a pizza as an appetizer and boy it was delicious! We then had our entrees which was the crab ravioli; highly recommend!, the chicken with spinach penne pasta; a good dish but could have used a little more seasoning, and the seafood pasta; my husband absolutely loved this. We finished our dining with the tiramisu and it was so good! Can't wait to bring my parents here when they come for a visit from out of state! read more

Came here on a Thursday night around 8:20pm with my cousins + husband. Most of us have lived in Millbrae for a long time but have never visited. Really loved the vibe in the restaurant! Super chill & relaxed. We also really love the little jukebox on the table- what a nice touch! Everyone was friendly, especially the lady who took care of us, she was so sweet! We got fried calamari, lasagna, Aragosta (lobster) e Spinaci, and linguini with salmon & shrimp. Everything was delicious but we all thought the lasagna was especially yummy. Definitely coming back for the lasagna. We had a great time and we'll definitely return! read more

One of my favorite Millbrae restaurants.

Elegant, classy and great food!!!! I love coming here for days night. I wish they were open more times throughout the week.

Called in an order and spoke to the rudest woman I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with. She kept snapping at me and when I asked to change the name on the order scoffed and berated me and then proceeded to annoyingly ask for my order. Upon arriving I was greeted by a very sweet old man who helped me out and was kind even thought he was probably nearing his 80s. Got the food to go, we get to our hotel and the only thing edible was the pizza. The Chicken Marsala was literal cafeteria food, but only worse. Avoid this spot. You will be treated like crap and the food is awful, minus their hamburger mushroom pizza. Tell me, does this look like chicken Marsala to you? read more
