Stella Alpina

Before we boarded our flight to Cuba, we had dinner at Stella Alpina, located at 401 Primrose Road in Burlingame.

Truffle Gnocchi--not on the menu but you can ask for it. It's roughly $1.60 per piece of gnocchi. This was on the salty side.

Escargot--$14.

Insalata Bietole--$13. Roasted beets, arugula and Laura Chenel goat cheese with maple vinaigrette. This was very good and the dressing wasn't too sweet.

Osso Buco Di Vitello--$29. Veal shanks slowly braised and served over Mascarpone polenta. The polenta was delicious--great corn flavor. The osso buco was tender but could have been just a little more fall-off-the-bone.

Warm Chocolate Cake with Berry Coulis & Vanilla Bean Gelato--$9. 

As we were finishing our dinner, there was a blackout. We were afraid our flight would be affected but SFO didn't have any problems. We did have problems at Burlingame Airport Parking. Because of the power outage, we couldn't get inside the gate and ended up parking at the Hilton. Fortunately, the 2 properties are connected.
