We came here for lunch this past Tuesday on the recommendation of a friend & boy, were we wowed. I love the aroma that greets you & the friendly service with the casual upscale atmosphere. The bread is fresh & perfect with a little butter. As for entrees, I had the spagetti calamari with aldentae noodles, tomatos, garlic, & fr3esh calamari that was done just right. My mother & our friend enjoyed their halabit specials with vegetables & polenta. For dessert, the lemon tort with pine nuts is the way to go; moist & lemony with fresh pine nuts & blueberries. Our friend enjoyed her spumoni gelato. For dinner, I took home the West Coast penae with aldentae pasta, tender chicken, sun dried tomatos, & asparigus in a garlic tomato sauce. The bread they pu tin with the order was just as good as what I had for lunch that day. I love the Italian music they have going as it livens things up yet is perfect background music. We will definitely be back to try more. So, for wonderful Italian cuisine at reasonable prices in a casual upscale atmosphere with friendly service, West Coast Cafe cannot be beat. Keep up the good work guys.

Just tried this place for the first time after living in the area for a while and I will definitely be coming back again soon. I had the bruschetta to start and then the chicken parm for my main course. The marinara sauce on the chicken parm was particularly amazing. I look forward to trying other things on the menu but it will be hard to resist not just ordering that again. The service was also excellent. This place is definitely a gem on San Mateo ave

Shared parking lot in the back (free after 6pm & few disabled spots), small walk around to the front...front of the house service bidder and runner has been great, attentive and attention to detail. Waiter is cool, it's my parents anniversary but not with them to celebrate 56 years. Came in for the Linguine ($25)but was talked into the "house specialty" lasagna Ragu ($24) waiting for my meal enjoying a Pinot Grigio had a Zinfandel w/ dinner. I had a good time

Everything went well. Service was great, our food was delicious. They are very generous with their wine pour. We will be going back. The restaurant itself was very clean!

Great service and delicious pasta nicely sauced and perfectly cooked. The restaurant has a nice old school vibe to it.

We needed some lunch after a doctor's appointment and wanted to try something relatively nearby and new to us. I was disappointed to see that the public parking has new payment kiosks. The days of free parking are coming to an end. They were scheduled to be placed into service either February or March. The restaurant itself isn't particularly wide but it is deep. There were only about three tables in use when we walked in after 1pm. We were greeted and seated, told about the specials, our drink orders taken and left to peruse the menus. Mom had had a large breakfast so wasn't hungry. She ordered a Bruschetta to munch on and she only ate 1/2 of that. She did try a couple of leaves from our Caesar Salad. Linguine Tutti Mare - 4 - Well-cooked assortment of seafood (clams, scallops, prawns, and calamari with properly cooked linguine. Special of the Day - Linguine with Clams, Mussels and Shrimp in a Tomato Cream Sauce - 5 - While it looked quite similar to my dish, the flavor was creamy and delicious. Caesar Salad - Classic Caesar Salad - 4 - Anchovies would have been nice but not everyone loves them so we understand. Bruschetta - We did not try. The restaurant was nice. The service was good. We would dine here again to try other flavors.

3.5 stars, but since we can't give half stars, boosting to 4 because of their consistently amiable customer service. West Coast Cafe has been a regular local restaurant for us for a few years. During our first couple of visits, we were so impressed by the restaurant that we almost booked a private party with them for a birthday celebration. Located on San Mateo Avenue in downtown San Bruno, West Coast doesn't have a private lot, but there are metered spots along the street as well as a few lots in walking distance. Inside, the yellow walls and earthy toned furniture make an inviting and warm, relaxed environment. The staff always keeps the place clean and tidy. Below are some of the many dishes that we have ordered: Caesar Salad - Z & V always order these greens, so they must like it. Zuppa Del Giorno - Don't forget to ask what the soup of the day is! They are yummy, especially the Split Pea and Lentil. Fettuccine Con Salsiccia - Z ordered this once, then moved onto the West Coast Penne, then the Spaghetti Con Calamari, both of which he has had multiple times. I guess he liked the other pastas more than this one. Spaghetti Con Calamari - Surprisingly, Z likes this Primi Piatti so much that it's become a regular order of his. Pasta Primavera - One of the few vegetarian dishes that they offer. DJ has been unimpressed by it, unfortunately. West Coast Penne - A flavourful creamy pasta dish. Z and I like it. Gnocchi Gorgonzola - V's go-to dish. He likes to add chicken to it. Lasagna al Ragu - DJ finds the serving as a bit on the smaller side or just not fully filling. Polla Marsala - Not on the menu, but they will replace the veal in the Vitello Marsala with chicken. Disappointingly bland, though. Bistecca alla Griglia - Perfectly cooked and tasty. Looks lean, but is fattier than it looks. Calamari Steak Piccata - Good. Next on my list to try are their Gamberi Bordolese and Linguine alle Vongole. Service is always nice and friendly. Even when ordering meals for take-out over the phone, they are always very helpful and pleasant.

Came earlier this evening around 430. Seeded rather quickly, even though the restaurant was starting to fill with the dinner crowd. Ask for water water was rots at the table bread with butter brought to the table and our food order was taken. I've never been disappointed with anything. I've ever ordered here the menu has changed. Prices of gone up. Nothing new quality on point always been on point. I will return , I like this place very much.

I came to west coast cafe for mothers day celebration and glad that I did. The atmosphere was cozy and classic. The waiters were friendly and attentive. Also, the food was amazing! We ordered the bruschetta, spaghetti with Ragu for the kids to split, seafood, pasta, chicken, and lemon sauce, fettuccine Alfredo, lasagna, and a bottle of house wine pinot Grigio. All of it was amazing. I would say the lasagna was a surprise and my wife loved the seafood pasta. We will definitely be back! Tip - make reservations in advance on the phone to secure your table.
