    If you want a real good Italian meal, Bistro Arancini is the place. The food and the people are great. I had the Octopus Spaghetti and it was delicious. My wife and our friends said their meal was great also. No full bar, which is a bummer, but they have a great wine list. Looking forward to going back when you can sit by the open windows and not get blown away from the wind. All in all, it was a very pleasant evening at a great restaurant. By the way, the waiters make you feel at home. Your are welcomed as soon as you step in. Great people.

    We celebrated my husband’s birthday. It was the first time for us to eat at Bistro Arancini, my daughter found the restaurant online. The food and everything were good. But the service form our server Mehmet was amazing! He was very friendly, funny and he gave a surprise for my husband’s birthday at the end of our visit . He gave us port wine for salute! My family was very happy and we appreciated his hospitality, service and thoughtfulness! Thank you! We definitely will come back ! Bistro Arancini is lucky to have Mehmet in their team!

    This is our fourth time at Bistro Arancini. We continue to return for the delicious food, hospitable service, and nice atmosphere. I always have to start with a glass of Barolo and the arancini appetizer. My husband likes their minestrone. We have tried many of their entrees and enjoyed each one. The Tuscan chicken is really good, but I also like the chicken parmesan. If you are having dinner in Burlingame, whether it is for business, or date night or with your family, this restaurant is a solid choice.

    This is my second time here and I will definitely be coming back. The food is delicious and the service is lovely. We were a party of 8 and everyone enjoyed their meals. It was great being able to talk and hear all the conversations at the table.

    Our lunch meal started with some fresh, soft, warm bread that was excellent. I had a roasted veggie panini which was perfect - crispy on the outside and wonderful sautéed veggies on the inside. My best friend had a sausage pizza - which had a nice thin crust and lots of sausage. It was our first visit to the restaurant and we will go back since there are so many items on the menu we want to try.

    Great food and service! We had originally made a reservation for 6, and had no issues adding a 7th person. We are not in Burlingame often, but we will definitely be back!
