I'd recommend any of y'all lookin for quality, affordable Italian hit this place up.

It's on San Bruno ave right at the end, near El Camino.

Expect to spend about 25-30 per person, ~20 dollar plates.

The food is superb, excellent steak and pastas/linguinis, very fresh seafood. The staff is generally pretty friendly, the main dude who sort of doubles as a waiter and maitre'd is one of those classic "italians" and the whole place has that sort of simple Italian restaurant theme to it.

A good Maltese friend of mine says its the best in the area as far as authentic food.

I would definitely put it on par with Il Fornaio or North Beach without having to spend 50 dollars a person. Great place to take a female / parent for an outing.

The plates are more like 16-22-ish...which comes out to about 25-30 a person including tip...

It's more than reasonable for the quality of food they serve. I've had worse for double that.

I'm not saying eat there every day, but it's worth it on special occasions.

People that complain about the prices of food are better off eating hamburger helper every other night.


And, theyr'e also most likely to be "spread aficionados".
