Pappardelle
Monica G.

Came over for a quick work lunch, ordered salad, pita sandwiches (bread is amazing) and pasta all great. Potatoes tho were quite under seasoned and not crispy ( doesn't feel like it was freshly made)

Inside Riposo
Mariaela G.

Riposo, tucked into the business center of South San Francisco, knows exactly what it is - clean lines, bright lighting, and a minimal, conference-adjacent vibe. The space is the draw. Pristine, polished, and quietly efficient - the kind of place that makes you feel like you should've brought your laptop. The food leans fresh, light California-Italian rather than heavy or greasy. I had the Caesar salad--fresh, crisp, doing all the right things... until the croutons showed up like tiny rocks. My lunch partner ordered the bison spare ribs with pappardelle - solid, and more memorable. The crowd starts to trickle in around noon, then steadily picks up. There's a full coffee bar, plus tea and soda, along with fresh pasta, artisan chocolates, and even a wine menu if you're feeling flexible with your afternoon. Service was quick, smooth, and never in the way - exactly right for the setting. A reliable, well-designed space that simply makes your day run better.

Baked Macaroni
Jasmin C.

Came here for a quick lunch and ordered the baked macaroni. Just look at it!! Came out in its own little hot skillet still bubbling hot! The blend of spinach in the sauce coated the macaroni so well, the parmesan and bread crumbs added texture, and the truffle flavor is the cherry on top! I added chicken breast on top for extra $ (forgot the exact amount, think it was $6), which I immediately tell was going to be soft and tender from the juices coming out of each piece. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, so flavorful and so filling!! Also got a lavender matcha latte and that also hit the spot. This spot is cafeteria style, you walk in and order at the barista counter. You take a number and sit at any table/booth and they'll bring the food to you. Exceptional staff and customer service. Tons of table and the vibe inside the establishment makes you feel like you're in an upscale restaurant!

Pappardelle

Always delightful to discover an in-housemade pasta restaurant. We found Riposo on a company's support local business program list and visited for a Friday lunch. Although located in an industrial park, the restaurant is landscaped nicely outside, and in an impressively contemporary style on the inside. We ordered at the counter. The menu was easy to peruse, and we chose the Pappardelle Pasta and the Di Parma Pizza. We chose a table with a view of the open kitchen (we could see the pasta maker and pizza oven) as well as the large dining area. Large windows with outside views was nice too. We were brought plates, napkins, silverware and glasses of water at our table. Very happy to receive the thoughtful service. Overall, we felt a quality restaurant ambience. The pizza and pasta arrived together. Both looked great in presentation. The pappardelle dish had a flavorful short rib ragout sauce which coated the nicely al dente pasta. The menu description for the pappardelle included gremolata which did not make its presence felt; I noted just one garlic sliver during the meal. I also feel shaved parmesan would have pumped up the flavor profile a little (those who love parmesan know what I mean). There wasn't any additional parmesan offered. Still, this pasta dish impressed. The pizza was excellent as well. From the menu description, we weren't sure what to expect since it only listed toppings. No hint of the pizza crust being done in a specific way. The crust was medium firm on the edges (good for holding) and hand-built floppy on the inside (fold it and you're good to go). Toast marks were noted. The toppings especially the prosciutto were in very good flavor balance. There was plenty of baby arugula too to give a refreshing side to each bite. The highlight was the drizzle of balsamic vinegar which harmonized everything. Only after we finished the pizza, we remembered the menu said it had a soubise; it wasn't one of the flavor notes noticed. We were happy diners no doubt. It wasn't crowded. Parking was super easy. Staff were friendly. Decor was comfortable. Good value. Tasty food. And we were delighted to find a place with yummy in-housemade pasta. PS Not sure if you need to, but staff might come by once to ask how the food was to check on satisfaction.

Little Gem salad (small with added shrimp)
George S.

Absolutely fabulous. This place is close to work. A coworker and I have been checking out eateries near work. So far this one of the best places for pizzas. The pizza had lots of flavor. The portion size were huge. Even the small salad I got was bigger than expected. Overall atmosphere was great, lots of natural lighting and live plants. Outside seating available too. Service was excellent, the staff came by frequently to take away empty plates or to ask if we needed anything else. We will definitely be coming back to this location.

Pappardelle with short rib meat was delicious. Place is very clean and quiet. Ideal for conversation.

I ordered the Godfather sandwich based on previous photos. I thought it was going to be some kind of a loaded sandwich since it was $20 after tax. When I opened the box, I was a little bit worried that I had ordered the wrong sandwich because it was about the size of my hand. I looked at the photos and I thought ma'am it's kind of looks similar, but maybe I'm just missing something as a scale. But if you look at the layers of the meat, there are actually less layers now than there were 12 and eight months ago. I'm not saying it's a bad sandwich. I'm just saying it's a bad value. The Caesar salad seemed like it was prepackaged in a box. The cheese, kind of taste like refrigerator. And there was no lemon or any kind of anchovy sauce or flavor in the dressing. At the time of writing this review, this restaurant has 4.6 stars shame on me for not reading the recent reviews because I'm not sure I would have ventured here if I did.

The Italiano reminded me of the way Poor Boys with ham, bologna, salami, mortadella and a slice of cheese on a really good roll with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and onions. I loved my sandwich, the meats tasted good, veggies were all fresh and a nice soft slightly chewy very fresh sweet roll. Next time I'll need to ask them to go light on the mayonnaise. Very old school sandwich that is hard to find. My wife was disappointed. She was wondering if they ran out of crab. She said it was a thin layer and was very heavy on the mayonnaise which overwhelmed her sandwich. I forgot to get the garlic sauce for her which we hear makes the sandwiches even tastier. I might go earlier in the day next time, ask for no mayonnaise and add the garlic sauce. My experience was great and my wife's was a little underwhelming. We definitely will go back for the Italiano and a second shot at the crab sandwich. Looks like a family run business by two brothers, nice guys. A little off the beaten path, inside Deli counter that looks like a Liquor Store do don't let the store front fool you. Stop by for good sandwiches and value.

And they've been stacking it with crab salad, mayo, garlic spread and crushed jalapenos since 1970. I'd like to tell you they haul this crab fresh out the bay, but it's actually a blend of crab, fish, and imitation crab. I don't know where they get it, but it hasn't changed in over 50 years, and that's saying something. Not much about this place has changed. Generations of Bay Area kids grew up on this counter. Most of us remember stopping by on the way to a game at candlestick park, or after landing at SFO. Candlestick is gone now, but I still stop by sometimes, usually for the crab sandwich on dutch crunch. It's not the "best sandwich in the bay area". It's not a modern sandwich breaking the mold. It's a classic. A legend. A piece of history, and it's worth going for that reason alone. But they only serve it wednesday through friday.

He saw me sitting in my car at 10:30am, trying to time my order so the sandwiches could arrive hot at 11:30am. He welcomed me into the store (1st time there) and took the time to take my order giving me suggestions. He made sure to time my order so I could pick up and go right away. I mentioned I was getting a medical procedure soon and he was so sweet and reassuring as he had the same procedure done. Patrick and his staff are such helpful and wonderful people. After getting my order perfectly on time, my car wouldn't start! I was freaking out as I had hot sandwiches, Chile and hungry people wanting to eat. Not only did Patrick save me a 2nd time by jumpstarting my car, I learned he is also a certified automotive mechanic, and he gave me so much information about a battery that I never knew about! Amazing food and service! Thank you Patrick! Will definitely be back...
