Café Figaro was a great dining experience. Firstly, our waitress Linda N was extremely kind and went above and beyond with our service. She spoke to us about where we were from and was so friendly! She accomadated our seating preference as well.
The appetizer was delicious, probably my favorite. The cheese and basil were so fresh and the prosciutto was fantastic. Well worth the price.
The entrees were delicious and very filling. The penne vodka was so flavorful and classic. The pomodoro with eggplant was great.
Overall great vibe and ambiance, with indoor and outdoor seating!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 11, 2024
We arrived on a Wednesday night, and the place was almost packed, which is a sign of good food
I got calamari which was very good. The chicken picatte was a bit spicy, and the Ravioli was very rich and delicious.
They have indoor and outdoor sitting. We sit outside, and it was great. My wife did not like the server very much, and hence four star.
We probably will go there again thoughHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Cute and quaint Italian restaurant with a small team graciously waiting tables.
The polenta, shrimp, chocolate mousse and complimentary bread were my favorite items that we tried. The warm cabbage salad was not what I was expecting and would opt for a different salad next time.
We also had chicken Parm and bolognese.
If in town, I would recommend to try some authentic Italian food.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 2, 2024
Had a great meal here. It was super busy on a Friday night and the staff did a great job serving everyone in the crowds. The inside has a nice decor and they have some outdoor seating in the front.
We had the mista salad and calamari to start. I had the lasagna and the other dish was a seafood fettuccine. Everything was delicious and cooked well. It was a little bit late for us so dessert was skipped this time. Definitely going back!
I saw the table next to us had some complaints. I don't know why but the staff were very polite and accommodating and they clearly care about customer service.
Absolutely make reservations! Check in on yelp for a free dessert.Helpful 22Thanks 5Love this 21Oh no 0 - Mable L.San Francisco, CA23232186Aug 4, 20241 check-in

We had a reservation at this restaurant on a rainy Sunday evening and were not expecting a full house. Walked in and the place was packed! We were told that it would be a bit of a wait to get seated. But since they had outdoor seating, we decided to just go for that. It was actually a better choice as it was calmer, less crowded, well lit, covered and spacious.
Our servers were very pleasant, professional and attentive. We were pleasantly surprised that our food came out pretty quickly. We were very impressed with the food. Good portion and the flavors were on point. For starters, we enjoyed the delicious bread dipping oil. The calamari fritti appetizer was so good! It was lightly battered, crispy on the outside, fresh and tender on the inside. The Tortellini alla Michelangelo, Linguine con vongole o cozze were excellent! We ended the meal with a couple of delicious desserts... the tiramisu and chocolate mousse.
We had a very pleasant dining experience and will definitely be back next time we're in town.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Paige D.San Bruno, CA1834730Aug 21, 20241 check-in
This place was so yummy! I went with one of my friends to celebrate my birthday and the food and drinks were soo good. The lavender spritz was excellent and I would have had another if we weren't so full! We got complimentary bread with oil and vinegar. The burrata and prosciutto were so fresh and then we both had the vodka rigatoni. 10/10 reccomend . Our servers were very attentive !

How did I not discover this gem on Broadway in Burlingame before!?!? Apparently many others have. Families, couples, and individuals alike didn't mind the 30 min wait. And now I know why. Café Figaro makes you feel like family! Courtesy bruschetta, and a glass of wine to soften the wait time was provided. Then heaven - the short rib raviolis in a black truffle sauce. I dream about it! Don't miss out - plan a leisurely dinner at CaféFigaro.

We decided to have a family dinner at Cafe Figaro celebrating 3 birthdays! I did put in a request when I made the reservation. And it was mentioned while we were talking to the waiter. Though sadly, nothing was done for our birthdays.
The restaurant is cozy and comfortable. And suitable for families and date nights for couples. It's a tablecloth kind of place, yet there's a laid-back atmosphere.
We started off with calamari fritti and carpaccio di manzo. Both appetizers were tasty. As for entrees, 2 ordered linguine con vongole and 2 ordered petrale sole. Then there was a rigatoni alla vodka and a vitello al funghi e marsala (veal marsala). To be honest, portions aren't big and there was nothing left to take home. We even had room for a chocolate mousse and crème brûlée to share. The food is good and flavorful. Desserts were perfect and lightly sweetened. Just so you know, pastas are not house-made, though prices reflect that and are reasonable.
We were told they have 2 other restaurants. One is in South San Francisco (Andiamo In Banca) and the other is in Mountain View (don't recall the name). We've been to Andiamo in Banca and their food is similar.
All in all, we had a good time and the food was delicious. It would have been nice if they had just added a candle on the desserts for the birthdays. It would have made it a 5-star experience.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 3Oh no 0 - Aug 30, 2023
I have found my new Italian spot in Burlingame. Walking down Broadway and indecisive about where to eat lunch, we finally ended up here at Cafe Figaro for our first visit. It did not disappoint.
We were greeted by Will who made the afternoon meal that much more special with his joyful personality. The food came out quick and nice and hot, not to mention absolutely delicious.
My wife and I decided to split the Eggplant Parmesan along with an arugula salad. Both were very tasty. Really glad we made this choice. My daughters enjoyed the bruschetta and the spaghetti bolognese. They ate it all up.
The decor was nice as well, giving that Italy feel. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a taste of Italy.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
