"Fiero Cafe is a great spot for a casual but satisfying meal. The pasta here is authentic and delicious — the bolognese especially stands out, rich and full of flavor. Portions are just right, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They also serve omelets, which make a nice lighter option if you’re not in the mood for pasta. Overall, a cozy place with tasty, well-made dishes that feel genuinely Italian."

"Wanted a quick breakfast sandwich, which wasn’t exactly on the menu as I wanted it, but they kindly made it for me anyway. It was delicious, and the coffee was good. A lovely building, and a nice front porch area. I’d like to come back to try the chicken piccata sometime."

"Lovely treasure to find good food, coffee and ambiance on a Sunday morning at 7:30 am. Please note that the parking in front is limited. The best was the salmon piccata!!! Will need to return. Loved also the pear, walnut, arugula and gorgonzola salad."

"Best hidden gem in San Mateo. Great service, authentic home made food. Best of Italy right at your doorstep. Latte is fantastic. Try the Sicilian omelette, and bruschetta. You won’t regret it."

"Cute Italian cafeteria, delicious food, good service and relaxed ambience. The homemade tiramisu is a touch of heaven in the end but really everything was great ! I got the smoked salmon omelette and my daughter got the salmon penne pasta ….. two different dishes of salmon, very different tastes and both were yummy. My some got a chicken breast panini and that too was awesome…. the chicken was soft, supple and flavorful and the panini was gigantic ! Lots of seating both indoors and outdoors, nicely decorated and maintained."
