One of the best Italian restaurants we ever been to. The vibe is fun, lively, and a family feel as well. The service was top notch. We sat at the bar and they were so attentive. We had Tyler as our server and he was the best.
The food was delicious! They have you start off with bread and the dip is super tasty with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and just other delicious spices.
We ordered a pasta dish with seafood in white sauce. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the prawns were super fresh. They even give you a whole dish of fresh Parmesan cheese and we weren’t shy about using it.

This was our favorite dinner place during our vacation to SLO. We researched a lot of restaurants and we were really excited for this one and it met all expectations. I’d eat here every week if I lived here.

Amazingly delicious food, great holiday ambiance, professional staff, well-done Italian theme. We arrived in town a bit late in the evening and were pleasantly excited to get a table real quick. Service was great, though the servers can do a bit more to add some warmth to their armory!

Very busy .. on a Tuesday .. no reservations, no taking your name while you're on the way .. but! Good wine list, great salad, delicious burrata ravioli, crusty bread with dipping oil .. followed by smooth cappuccino and creme brulee with fresh berries .. well worth the 30 minute wait!!

Amazing experience in San Luis Obispo! We dined out on the back patio and it was magical. We both got the shrimp and scallops pasta, and I highly recommend. Very flavorful and rich.

The meal was amazing, service was on point, and the carrot cake and cannoli are AWESOME! I generally HATE carrot cake, but I had two full bites of my fiancé’s cake before the night was over. Definitely also… recommend the margarita pizza and the spinach salad from the deli case (the one in slo has that, not sure about the pismo beach location) is awesome. We got the Giuseppe Salad was tasty as well! Thanks for making my birthday end with a smile!

Charged a $600 "room charge" and $300 tip on a $1,000 dinner for 12 people. Service was awful and they have no desire to adjust anything. Poor customer service no matter how good the food is won't win anyone over.

Wonderful attentive servers. Delicious food and wine at a pretty good price point. Best chicken cacciatore I’ve ever eaten. Sadly, I skipped the apple crisp. Did I mention it’s my favorite Italian restaurant in… the world? Nice recovery after being destroyed in a fire a few years ago. Doesn’t take reservations. On a busy night, get a drink and watch the Dodgers in the bar while you wait for your table.

My first dine out after lockdown! Really enjoyed the food here. ❤️ Love the Prime Ribeye Steak Paillard and the Crème Brulee that I ordered! The bread is tasty too.

Absolutely amazing. Very flashy outside, inside very nice. True Italian look. Everyone was very pleasant, and our server was wonderful. His initial greeting was great, recommendations for appetizer, entrĂŠe and dessert were spot on. He was very attentive to our needs and very friendly. The food was to die for. Truly amazing. You ended our 1 night here in SOL spectacularly!
