Buona Tavola

Our favorite Italian restaurant in the Paso Robles area. We were in Paso to pick up some wine. What a great little town. Always crowded at dinner time, so make a reservation or you can sit at the bar like we did.

I am NEVER one to post a negative review of a restaurant, but I have to say I was very disappointed in this restaurant. Our server Lalo was aloof and inattentive, although appeared to be overwhelmed. The food was blah… the pasta I ordered was fresh but way overcooked to the point I couldn’t even eat it because it was so limp. We had to refill our own wine glasses. And after Lalo asked how our meal was, I told him about the pasta where he did offer to send out another order, but I declined because my husband had already eaten his meal. Very disappointed ! Oh and this was at 5:30 pm…very busy, but thought we’d get better service given it was so early!

There was no love in the food. The pasta capellini was incredibly bland, lacking seasoning. Our table was constantly getting banged by staff walking by, the door was open for 10 minutes making us cold! Never eat here! We just left and are disappointed!

DELICIOUS tortellini! Homemade. Great ambiance and food. Make reservations. Friendly

I had the risotto that was outstanding and good portions. Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly
