- MMargaritaSan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoDinner was very good. The music is played at a very high volume that conversation was difficult. We asked the hostess to have the music lower a bit and her response was; let me ask the manager. Volume was not lowered; we then asked our waiter and he immediately made the miracle of listening g to the request. Definitely too high of music volume.More infoPausa Bar & CookeryPrice: Expensive• Italian• San Mateo•4.7
