This is a really nice place to get brunch/lunch with friends or family. Theres plenty of food options - from pasta to omelettes - and the pasta in particular is very good. Their coffee is strong if that suits your tastes.The service is friendly and makes the atmosphere so welcoming and cozy. Theyve always been a pleasure when I go!Parking can be hard since its on a busy street, so I recommend finding parking in a structure in downtown San Mateo and walking over. If you live in the area I recommend walking instead of driving.

Our coworker recommended this place because she used to dine here frequently. It is an Italian cafe with breakfast and lunch menus. It’s cozy and service is friendly.We came in a large group and ordered many pasta dishes including ravioli, carbonara, and penne.The food is homemade and delicious, looking forward to coming back here sometime.

I went here because I was interested in visiting the local coffee shops in my area. Little did I know that this place would top my last favorite place by a large margin. When I walked in there are these huge windows and the place is light and airy. There are obvious friends that were laughing and talking with the owner. When I ordered my coffee the owner came to answer a question I had between two of his drinks. They brought the coffee to me. When I had my first sip, I had a euphoric moment. I was in a negative headspace and this got me to see a new perspective. The experience and the quality of coffee is phenomenal. At the end, I didn’t need to find a bin to put the cup away. This makes the total experience a 12/10. Parking is difficult, but with good reason.

Delicious Penne Carbonara, just the right amount of sauce. Crunchy onions in there, unexpected but ok. Maybe some more green garnish/green herbs would have been nice.Also less expensive prices and much more smiles.Nestled between El Camino & San Mateo Creek, the atmosphere is really nice but it is stinky inside and out. The inside could use much better ventillation.Must park further, but that should not cause any problems.

Outstanding neighborhood Italian restaurant! Hours of operation are very limited(7am to 2 pm). Excellent breakfast/brunch menu options, and espresso drink selection. $10 mimosa Chianti, Pinot Grigio. I recommend their spaghetti with fresh clams, prawns, tomato, asparagus in a garlic wine marinara sauce. Really loved their eggplant parmigiana: peas, mozzarella cheese in a light tomato sauce. No pasta, but absolutely delicious!Great selection of teas, coffee, and espresso drinks!

Don’t know how you could give the food less than 5 stars. I got pesto and my husband got carbonara. The sauce was soo thick, creamy, and flavourful. Portion size was generous, I had to take some home (mostly so I could enjoy again later haha). The coffee taste in our iced coffee was very good. Will definitely be back. Thanks for a great lunch!

I had an omelette w/ mushrooms, green peppers, onions etc in it. The veggies part were delicious but the egg part was a little firm for me cause I prefer very soft and creamy egg for omelette.I also got latte which was good.

Best Tiramisu. Better than average latte and Croissant. Eggplant dishes are real deal. Both indoor and outdoor seating has homely feeling. Penne salmon will get 10/10.

In A Nutshell:-Fiero Caffe is a small sidewalk cafe located along the border of downtown San Mateo.-Its actually very spacious once you walk inside.-If you love a good omelet I suggest you either order the egg or sicilian omelettes.-The Sicilian has some very good sausage inside it!-If you can grab a table out front, I would do that especially in the morning.Overall, this is a very nice little cafe in San Mateo.
