   Love this restaurant, we sat at the bar and everyone was attentive and friendly. We’ve been here a couple times and the food and atmosphere is on point.

   This place is hoping. It is a little pricey, but quality of the food and service is superb.

   Pausa is one of the best Italian spots on the peninsula.

    I do like this restaurant and come here regularly. (We need more restaurants in downtown san mateo with this great vibe! )My experience recently was very frustrating however. I inadvertently made a reservation for four instead of two. They were quite booked that night and then would not seat me at a table, even though I made a reservation a week prior because of that mistake. I was forced to sit at the bar with client.
