Pausa Bar & Cookery in downtown San Mateo offers a modern Italian vibe with a mix of hits and misses in their dishes. The ambience and music are good, but the service can be lacking at times. The menu is somewhat limiting but they change it regularly. The cheese board and bone marrow are standout items worth trying. The restaurant is a great place to spend an evening with friends and loved ones, with decent food and drink options. Overall, Pausa is a solid choice in the foodie town of downtown San Mateo.

Was pretty good but is quite pricey compared to other spots. I hope that means they treat employees well. Pizza was kind of dense in the crust. But tasty combos...

Beet Salad was gritty. Food was disappointing given the price. Both me and my husband had upset guts after dinner. Not happy.

The Pizza Margherita is delicious but a little small for the price. Overall, solid pie!

The orecchiette and heirloom tomato salad are amazing!

Dough tasted sour and pizza was soggy and underbaked. Margherita sauce was off and bitter. Maybe just a bad night?
