Craving for Authentic Italian Food

We stumbled across this adorable Italian restaurant in San Mateo and decided to give it a try. Boy, we were so glad we did! Sole is a very cozy Italian restaurant that probably seat about 35 people or so. They also have an outdoor patio with blasting heat lamps which are perfect for a cool wintery day.

For appetizer, we ordered Burrata e Prosciutto di Parma. This is one of the best tasting burrata we ever had! The combination of creamy mozzarella, mouthwatering prosciutto with freshness of greens were exceptionally memorable!

For entrée, we had homemade Pappardelle alla Bolognese which the paste was cooked perfectly al Dante with satisfying meat sauce.

We also had Cacciucco Di Pesce which was a variety of seafood such as black muscles, salmon, prawns  with pasta in a spicy tomato broth. The portions were exceptional generous.

We were so satiated and did not have room for dessert. We will be back for sure to try different dishes!!

Splurging on a Sunday Late Morning

If you are in the mood to splurge on a sunny Sunday late morning, The Village Pub is it!!

It’s located in an in an  unassuming area of Woodside. It’s not noticeable as the main entrance is facing the parking lot that’s filled with Teslas, BMWs and Mercedes.

We were greeted by friendly host and staff and right away, the server pulled up a cart that’s filled with champagnes bottles. Hmmmm, what champagne will go well with caviar and black truffle? Tough decision to make. How about one of each?

We really enjoyed the unique lobster Benedict as everything tasted so fresh. The modern simplicity presentation truly balance out the complex flavor of the dishes.

In addition, The Village Pub also has one Michelin Star which explains the consistency of the food and wonderful service.

We look forward to return to their dinner service very soon!!

Mid-Week Splurge

When weekend is not here fast enough, we like to indulge ourselves with great food and wine to make the rest of the week days more enjoyable. Of course we picked Viognier Restaurant in Downtown San Mateo!

It’s relaxing dining room features plush booths, a cozy fireplace, and a blazing wood-fired brick oven.

It’s always nice and quiet here and we can truly enjoy each other’s company in the presence of great food and wine.

When you dine at their dining room, you will need to select their prefix menu and that’s what we opted for. We also decided to do wine pairing with our food which truly brought out the essence of each dish.

Everyone should give a mid-week splurge a try!

When Sophistication meets Lustrous…

That is exactly how you feel when you step into Oak + Violet in Menlo Park!

The vibe is chic and airy…when you step inside, and you’ll find yourself outside. The spacious outdoor space is lined with comfy sofas and ottomans and surrounded by high tech heat lamps. That space flows into the outdoor-indoor bar, which flows into the restaurant, Cool lighting fixtures and decorations are everywhere.

It's a great place particularly on weeknight evenings.

The Biggest Mimosa Ever!

We were out for brunch at the Field Club and we ordered bloody and bottomless mimosa. Oh boy, it’s the biggest mimosa we have ever seen! It’s like in a beer glass (not that we are complaining).

The food is really delicious as well. We loved the egg benedicts. It’s got a cool masculine vibe to it.

Long Potstickers

We were craving for long potstickers ….most of the places you go to are the regular shaped potstickers. For some reason, long potstickers just taste differently…..

We found long potstickers at Joy Restaurant in Foster City, and of course when you are there, you have to order crab, egg and shredded port stir fried rice, braised pork and etc etc etc!!!
