On a Tuesday evening, my partner and I spontaneously decided to visit Buona Tavola without a reservation, and to our surprise, the restaurant was bustling with patrons. The staff kindly set up a heat lamp on the patio for us and served a delightful Pinot Noir. As we perused the menu, we couldn't resist trying the spicy clams and mussels, a half order of the mushroom bruschetta, and the scallop and prawn salad – all of which were truly exceptional. Initially, we thought we might stop there, but the flavors were so outstanding that we couldn't resist ordering some pasta. The parpadelle pasta turned out to be the best I've ever tasted, perfectly al dente, and each bite surpassed the last. I wished I had a second stomach to savor it all that night! The delightful company of my loved one made the experience even better. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for an indoor reservation next time; the food was genuinely remarkable.

We arrived at Buona Tavola just as they were opening and were seated at a patio table, as was requested in the reservation booking. The place was full from the time we got there (17:30) until we left and about 19:30. Very nice meal with an awesome server, Patricia. A bottle of California rose to cleanse the palette followed by an awesome Bruschetta. The bread was served with an olive tapenade that was so good it could have been my main course. The mains were a shrimp pappardelle and pumpkin stuffed tortellini - both very tasty and rich. The valpolicello was a great accompaniment. Service was very good, not over bearing and attentive enough that we didn’t feel ignored. It was pricey and worth it. We will go back next we’re in Poso Robles.

This little gem of a restaurant was delightful! We were walk-ins and seated quickly. We were lucky enough to come in on a Wednesday where it was half priced wines $100 or less. We had the James Tobin Cab and it was great! The bread and olive tapenade was delicious and I’m thinking I may need to go back and pick up a jar to bring home. We then shared the Caesar salad (good, not great) and I had the Pappardelle with shrimp and my husband had the tortellini with veal, spinach and proscuitto in a mushroom tomato sauce. Both were outstanding!!! We ended the meal with the apple pie tart (good) and the Paso port. We would absolutely come here again if we are lucky enough to get back to Paso!

Dined here for lunch twice. What a treat! I don't understand how anyone could give a bad review. The food was incredible. Soups. Salads. Pasta dishes. All had the freshest ingredients and did not skimp on anything! Was totally blown away with every dish. At each sitting, they present you with fresh bread and their homemade olivata, made with black olives, mustard seed, infused organic herbs, imported Italian olive oil and balsamic vinegar. You can buy a jar to take home. I'll be dreaming about this restaurant!

Wow, service was absolutely wonderful and the food was incredible. I never write reviews but this place was so good I had to let everyone know that this is the place to eat. Thank you for an outstanding dining experience. Price I selected was for salad, drinks and entre

Came here for a birthday dinner for a friend and was blown away by the quality of Italian food here. They make all their pastas in-house, all their sauces are exquisite and bursting with traditional flavors and textures. Portions are perfect. I got their warm seafood salad that came with juicy tender shrimp and scallops over a bed of fresh arugula. Perfectly seasoned. With each bite of pasta you can close your eyes and let your mouth experience the cuisine ride. Their staff are super friendly, some are Italian so you know this place is authentic. They brought complimentary homemade limoncello which was not bad. We sat outside, under the heat lamps. Make a reservation. Plenty of parking around the street.

Excellent family run Italian restaurant in Paso Robles. Been around for years and consistently good. Good homemade pastas, especially the tortellini. Overall food is northern Italian Piedmont style. Small intimate setting, casual. (can get loud in dining room if you are unlucky and seated near a bridal party or something like that! )
