We had a lot of Italian food this trip because since I was dieting I made the hubby choose all the restaurants and he was always looking for either brisket, calamari or pizza :-O In San Mateo, we love these two Italian restaurants aside from Pizza Delfina (Previous entry: Pizzeria Delfina Dec. 21, 2014 )
Il Fornaio
Calamari! We had around 12 calamaris this trip! :-O They do calamari very well in the States so we always order it
Steak Tartare
Cristina Pizza -fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, shaved grana padano, mushrooms and wild arugula drizzled with white truffle oil – YUM!
Wefie 🙂 Happy Birthday Pepe!!
