Their basic spaghetti bolognese is surprisingly impressive. Sweetbreads are decadent, burgers & warm butter cake are addictive. The carbonara is one of the best in SF, the lasagna a must-tryUpvoted Feb 14

Penny HalvorsenApril 19, 2016Great food! Great memories from the past but now even better. Raviolis still great. My husband had the Reuben Sandwich and it was amazing. They have a good bar and tv screens.The decor is beautiful!Upvoted 2 weeks ago
WhiskeyAvengerJune 18, 2018Daly City is woeful when it comes to its assortment of bars. It’s ok,hit up Original Joe’s Westlake. They have a wide assortment of spirits and great cocktails. If whisk(e)y is your thing you’re set.
Craig VillamorOctober 8, 2016Steak Ala Bruno! They did a nice job on the remodel. Awesome decor. True to the mid-century modern style.
- Great healthy breakfast options. Excellent service; Vianca is a boss!! A+++
- WhiskeyAvengerJune 13, 2018I know that this place is known for its Italian food but I highly recommend the porterhouse steak and The Brooklyn Cocktail if you like whiskey.
Judy SolanoJune 11, 2016Fabulous veal parmesan, and Christian Campos the bartender makes you feel so welcome and at home, and makes a superb drink. He even delivers it himself!
If you order the burger (and you should), be sure to ask for it char broiled. That used to be the default, but now you have to ask for it specifically.
John Manoogian IIISeptember 4, 2019The 🍔 burger is extremely large on a big sourdough bun, and half was almost too much. Split it! Also, it’s an older crowd who’s used to overcooked meat 🥩 so I’d recommend medium rare or cooler
Gary BaderApril 21, 2017Its all good . From famous hamburger on French bread to veal parm and pasta everything is great you will not be disappointed.
Sal BelleciSeptember 22, 2018I like the veal scallopini and pork chops only been there 3 times. The lasagna is the only one I’ll never order again
Marlon EFebruary 20, 2019Fried calimari, chicken parmigiana, and ravioli were tasty. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive to our needs.
Everything but you must finish your dinner with the Bombolini or Butter Cake
Garry TanNovember 5, 2018The spaghetti and meatballs can’t be beat. Stiff manhattans too. Wonderful classic atmosphere.- WhiskeyAvengerAugust 12, 2019Everything is tip top here! The steaks,the cocktails,the lasagna. You cannot go wrong here.
Paul MansfieldJanuary 27, 2020The donuts with jelly filling with some drip coffee is a nice little dessert
Clam Chowder, the Veal Sec, and the steaks are great here!- WhiskeyAvengerAugust 12, 2019Excellent,versatile Italian restaurant with a ‘Good Fellas’ kind of vibe.
Jim BarcelonaApril 9, 2023The portions are huge. It's 9:58 pm and I'm still full from a noon brunch.
Emily LeungJune 27, 2018No longer lives up to the charming greatness that once was Westlake Joe's, though the standby waits still span 90+ mins! Oversalted food, disappointing meat quality, poor value & slow wait service.- Jennifer AntelmanNovember 30, 2018Mashed potatoes and dining atmosphere were good. Service, wait times, parking and food quality were not.
Bill WetherellMarch 27, 2016Food is fine but the wait is awful. Was hoping this neighborhood gem would be worth it but sadly no.

"Fast-pizza shop. Unlike Pieology & Blaze they have decent crust & sauce. Stick to plain cheese or veggie; the meat toppings don’t look very trustworthy"
