We have a category for "Dine Burlingame" that gets used fairly regularly, but I admit it is mostly about restaurants on or near the Avenew. I can walk to the Ave and do so more often than driving to Broadway. Two events will cause me to "get up there" more. The first is the opening of Centro in the old hardware store space. While losing another hardware store is unfortunate, at least the winning team of Elio and John who run Il Sapore on the Ave so beautifully now have a great B'way space for pizza. Check it out.
The other B'way event comes courtesy of Opentable's Best Overall Restaurants of the Peninsula that arrived today. There are a lot of good choices on the list that I have eaten at many times- Pausa and All Spice in San Mateo as well as Evvia, Town and the Village Pub further south. But one that caught me by surprise is Cafe Figaro on B'way. I've eaten there a couple of times and this Opentable ranking reminds me that each time I thought "hey, this is quite good". It only has 35 ratings compared to several thousand for some of the others, but the proof is also in the pudding or the pasta in this case. Good for Cafe Figaro, good for B'way and good for B'game since we are not known as a fine dining mecca. Mangia!
