This was a referral from the gals at the farmers market a block down on Broadway. Fine choice. I was visiting on business with a cohort from Tokyo Japan. Started with the Bruschetta and my cohort ordered the Risotto al Frutti di Mare and I had the Fettuccine All'Adriatica All of this with a couple of glasses of Chianti and... More

We called to see if they could handle 8 people within the hour and they did and with a smile. The food was far better than hotel fare the other side of 101. Glad we made the effort to get away from the hotel zone.

This small restaurant is very homey and struck me as one of thousands of others across the United States. I am sure it has its local fans, but my meal there was nothing special. The flavor was good, but not great or particularly memorable. It was a welcome escape from over-priced hotel food, I'll admit.

My husband & I had one of the best meals of our 10 day trip to California recently at this charming, intimate little restaurant. We were wandering Broadway St. in Burlingame the evening before our flight back to the East coast and just happened upon Cafe Figaro. We didn't know a thing about it but decided to give it a... More

A group of three ate here for dinner on a Tuesday evening per reviews here. Great atmosphere, wonderful service, and delicious food. The bread and dipping sauce us delish! Would definitely go.again.

I have eaten here probably 25-30 times, I cannot believe I have never written a review before. This is one of the two best restaurants within 5 miles of my home. The service is always very attentive, they always have yummy sounding specials, the food is always perfectly cooked, and the wine selection is really nice. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this... More

The food was delicious. Small cozy restaurant, not crowded. It was very busy and the service did not suffer, the staff was friendly and welcoming.

This is one of the most consistent places anywhere. It is a comfortable almost casual place with wonderful food and the best service in town. The owner, John, when he is there always makes you feel welcome and well served, and the Manager, Sabon, is and amazing guy who keeps the place running about as well as is possible. Chef... More

My husband and I have been eating at Cafe Figaro for the last 11 years, and have probably been there over 150 times. Everything on the menu is fantastic, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is perfect for a romantic date, a birthday celebration or getting together with friend. We've had pretty much everything on the menu, and some... More
