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.

She said she wrote on the reservation "Birthday" and we were seated promptly. Staff were kind and the location is beautiful. It's been in SSF since 2018 and when I looked at the menu, it was nice to see Cafe Figaro as another sister restaurant with the same owner. I love Cafe Figaro and have had a lot of pleasant experiences there! We ordered some wine to start and eventually ordered the watermelon salad and I got the Linguine fruitti di mare. Initially things seemed okay, we got our wine quickly. Servers were smiling. There were 2 servers. We got a watermelon salad with no utensil to serve it, but the server left SO quickly before we could ask. We had to wait a few minutes and then had to ask another server for a spoon. I think that's when we started noticing that the two servers helping on our side were just walking SO fast. It kind of made the ambiance feel rushed and oddly stressful. Like, we are not rushing to eat. BTW we got a reservation for 745pm but they also accept reservations for 8pm. They close at 9pm...(more on this later). We ate calmly when our food came. The food itself was very delicious. However, the service made the whole experience lackluster and incredibly disappointing. I still didn't like how rushed the servers were walking around. I also felt like they were checking often to see how we were doing or if we were done. I felt like I couldn't really eat in peace (being watched but in an odd, invasive way). It was getting to be 8:55 (which we hadn't noticed the time as much), but we asked for a box for my dish to go. I was barely finishing putting it away in the box and the server already came to try to take my plate. I was like "I'm not even done...". RUSHING US. The main server then just came to drop off a check. At NO point did they ask us if we wanted dessert or even earlier on, to say "Btw the kitchen is closing soon, would you like to order dessert.". He just brought the check. We asked, could we order dessert? The server was like "I don't know. I'd have to ask the kitchen but they may not allow it." We were like "Nvm then." We were already annoyed with the situation. I noticed it was 8:57 and one of the servers was already tearing off all the tablecloths from the table. It was very evident they wanted us all out but I guess in other restaurants, even if it's past 9 (a little past 9), they understand that people may trickle out slowly. It wasn't even 9 yet and it already felt they wanted us all out. Especially how rushed they felt overall. When the server came, he said "next time, desserts on me" and I said "there's not going to be a next time." I explained how stressed and rushed it felt, especially with them rushing from table to table like it was a race, and that it was for a birthday and they didn't even give us a heads up to purchase dessert. He kept saying " I don't think I rushed you" and didn't really apologize. My sister too explained she even wrote this was for a birthday and that they were just making us feel like we needed to hurry. We ended up going to Cochinita next door to get dessert and they were so kind, not rushing. I should have gone there instead for dinner or any other Italian place. If you don't want people there at 9pm, don't accept reservations at 7:30, or 7:45 or 8pm. You will be kicked out 40 minutes within your meal as you will see they are subtly trying to kick you out. Go somewhere else where you won't feel rushed and will have a much more pleasant experience. This was surprising to me because I've been to Cafe Figaro multiple times and I've always had such a good experience. Here felt so odd like I was in a diner or a more informal place where it is more normal for waiters/servers to be rushing from table to table. It was an unpleasant experience and would recommend another spot instead with a more pleasant eating experience.

You can't go wrong with a #3 and a pepperoni with garlic (a must try!). As someone who's had some of the best pizza in Little Italy in San Diego and in New York, Toto's is still my favorite. The sauce, bubbly crust, and flavor are incredible. The restaurant itself is no frills, but that's exactly what I'd expect from an authentic pizzeria. Good food, amazing smells, a clean dining room, sports on the TVs, and a family friendly atmosphere. We go out of our way to come here every year and even bring some home because it's just as good the next day. Pizza here is 5 stars!!

SMALL pepperoni, sausage and mushroom for $34.50. The same pizza is $25.99 at the OTHER famous San Bruno pizza joint across the street. For decades, kids from the Bruno fought over these 2 spots. I've ALWAYS been the Toto's guy. Not anymore. You own the property. Your staff isn't enormous. Real ingredients don't cost that much. You're gouging your customers. Toto's has always been a family joint. Now the only family who can afford it are the Kardashians. I suggest you freeze future price hikes until you run it by me.

We came around 6pm and requested to be seated near the television because my husband wanted to watch the basketball game they had on. The host said that those tables are for reservation only. However, he was willing to let us sit right below the tv. For food, we ordered: -the vongole pasta: super flavorful white wine sauce with plenty of clams and mussels. This is our favorite dish to order here. -the spaghetti with homemade meatballs: very disappointing with the meatballs that are supposed to be specially made here. They tasted very dry and the sauce was very watery. Here's where things went wrong: The complementary bread and garlic dip are usually so good. But today, the sauce tasted completely off...the garlic tasted and smelled like an old, wet rag..but my husband continued to eat it. When we got home a few hours later, both my husband and I started to get really bad stomachaches. I ended up puking and basically the both of us got food poisoning. It's odd that the host was saving the tables for reservations when no one even came at the time we were there. Service was good and attentive. The food, however, is not how it used to be. Probably won't be coming back again.
