Pausa Bar & Cookery

This is a smart, eco-friendly, and contemporary concept in the heart of San Mateo, a 30 minute ride outside San Francisco. Pausa is at the same time an Italian-style bar, a pizzeria and very well focused traditional restaurant focused on Italian regional recipes. Pausa Bar & Cookery
