    My boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner at Roja the day after Valentine’s Day. We were warmly greeted into the restaurant and sat at a beautiful table. James brought us over some sparkling rosé.  We had the cauliflower, Gulf shrimp, potato terrine, and the agnolotti, which was our favorite.  We will be going back for the food and the friendly service.

    osteria is one of the first and best restaurants I ever visited when I moved from the Midwest to the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula the . Food is consistently excellent the service is consistently excellent. I especially appreciated that I could not get a Wi-Fi connection on a publicly available Wi-Fi and the waiter came over and logged me into the restaurant Wi-Fi so that I could get my Uber I really appreciate that
