    You can't go wrong with the food here. It is all excellent. For breakfast, the panino and the pancakes are my favorites. For lunch, I can't pass up the Tootsie's burger!

    Great brunch, great location. Indoor/outdoor seating, friendly and efficient wait staff! Order placed at the counter, self-served a cup of coffee and waited for the food to arrive and enjoyed!

    Great little cafe with a lovely garden setting across from the Stanford campus. Try the Salata di Tono with lemon vinegrette - very light and tasty.

    Pastries are the best in the peninsula by far. These guys know what they are doing and it shows. Friendly service and a very pretty location.

    Carne alla Pugliese: a little dry. Paninis: delicious. Side salad always good, roasted potatoes only okay (not very crispy).

    Th ePollone sandwich has an amazing endive slaw on it. The Tootsie burger is my all time favorite. The fries here are to die for. Rocco, the owner makes everything deeeelicious!

    The dark chocolate moka is amazingly rich, thanks in part to the Belgium chocolate used.

    Half the patrons were speaking Italian today, must be authentic.

    Forget about the fancy-shmancy California Cafe. Go to Tootsies and get the fantabulous Tootsie burger! The best burger around by far.
