LUCETI'S on 25th | Classic Tuscan-Style Italian in San Mateo

A San Mateo Tradition Since 1980

For over four decades, LUCETI'S on 25th has been a gathering place for the San Mateo community. Tucked along West 25th Avenue, our trattoria brings the warmth and flavors of Tuscany to the Peninsula — honest food, friendly faces, and an atmosphere that feels like home.

Guests are greeted by name, regulars gather at the bar, and the dining room fills with the sounds of live music on a regular basis. Whether you're here for a weeknight dinner, a romantic evening out, or a special occasion like Christmas Eve, LUCETI'S is the kind of place where every visit feels a little bit special.

Our kitchen turns out classic Italian dishes made with care — from perfectly seasoned pastas and hearty veal scallopini to a clam chowder that surprises even the most seasoned diners. And don't leave without trying the chocolate lava cake. It's become something of a legend around here.

— Karen Rosenthal★★★★★

“I was stunned by the clam chowder, which was super creamy but somehow also light. The shellfish in the cioppino was cooked perfectly. The chocolate lava cake was yet another unexpected surprise. The chef at this restaurant knows exactly what he's doing!”

“This chance find while strolling around the area became the highlight of our evening. Old School Italian vibe and atmosphere. Veal scallopini was done right. Espresso Martini was the Bomb!”
