Editorial Review for Buona Tavola – by Susan Blue

In Short
This special occasion restaurant features a small front room, a patio in the back and an open kitchen in between. Warm colors and simple, elegant decor are welcoming enough for the casually dressed as well. The upscale Italian menu features hearty meat dishes and a range of pasta entrees with rich sauces. Salads with seasonal vegetables are menu standouts, as are desserts such as dark chocolate gelato with espresso. The wine list offers Italian and Californian varieties.

This is a very cute Italian restaurant. We love sitting out in the courtyard: wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere is casual chic, and not at all stuffy. I recommend the risotto ai porcini!

Pros: Great local Italian!

Cons: For SLO is this a great option!

This place is just fine. There food is average and good, but for the price you are better off going to Guiseppe's in Pismo Beach or Grappalo in SLO. The service is awesome and they have a very a nice wine list, was just disappointed with the quality of the actual main course. The SLO location can get noisy and looses it's romantic appeal.

Pros: Great Service

Cons: Loud dinning hall
