What a jewel of an Italian restaurant inside the most beautiful Allegretto Resort and winery! Their menu is to die for, with the best pizza and pastas you can imagine. It's a very amazing and creative menu. The service and ambiance were something to be remembered, with live entertainment as well! Thank you so much to our lovely bartender and our amazing server. I'm sorry I can't remember her name. This may have been a once in a lifetime experience for me, but hopefully I will be back.

Fabulous - service, drinks, and food are just perfect! We enjoyed our meals and wine. Even returned for our traditional "last night" espresso martinis. Everything we had was excellent - room service meals as well. We were first time guests at this hotel (resort) and long time visitors of the area. We agreed we will never stay any where else. This is a wonderful place with 5-star amenities, especially Cello.

Super yummy restaurant! We got the butternut squash ravioli and the chicken piccata. So good, generous portions and reasonably priced. Great wine and dessert too! We got the crème brûlée and the pecan bread pudding. Great spot!

Beautiful location in a Tuscan like hotel. You feel transported to another world. We came here for lunch after wine tasting. We had the calamari, classico pizza and chicken caesar salad. Every thing was delicious and the portions were huge. Our server was amazing and she kept on refilling my husband's coffee, even though there were quite a few tables and not that many servers. The coffee is really good there, brewed locally in Paso Robles. We walked around the beautiful hotel afterwards to enjoy the grounds. Everyone was extremely gracious, especially the valet.

We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday dinner here this evening. We made sure to make reservations as well. They were pretty busy since there was a comedy show. The hostess also recommended making reservations either way. So...reservations are the way to go! Although we were seated right away, the server took a while to get our drink order in, however, they did seem quite busy so we let that slide a bit. Betsy was our server. She was super sweet and attentive as soon as she was freed up. We ordered a couple cocktails, an appetizer, and dinner entrees. The cocktails took a really long time. We had to check on them and even Betsy made a comment about the delay. She made sure to see what the hold up was and shortly after we received our drinks. The calamari appetizer was served thereafter and had to be the best calamari ever. Served crisp and hot, and plentiful as well. For dinner, I had the Clasico pizza and my bf had the halibut polenta. His dish looked way too healthy but he really enjoyed it. I, on the other hand, like to dabble in unhealthy delicious food more often than I probably should. The pizza was absolutely delicious. The dough was my favorite. Thin yet crispy. The serving size was shareable as well. There is plenty of seating inside as well as outside and the outside is beautiful. Especially if you're wanting to enjoy the sunset. Nice long bar as well.

We arrived just after 10am on a Thursday morning and were promptly greeted and seated at a nice table in the back corner of the restaurant with the kitchen behind us. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Each table was perfectly set for service. Attention to detail here is impeccable and made a casual breakfast feel extra special. We ordered coffee, the Paso Country breakfast, the yogurt parfait and a side of eggs and chicken sausage. Our food was out within minutes and everything tasted great! The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy & delicious. The sourdough toast was warm, and with the butter & raspberry jam, wow what a decadent treat. The country potatoes were also perfectly cooked and seasoned, crispy on the outside but perfectly tender on the inside. While eating we noticed a server preparing the table next to us for a VIP and a few minutes later one of the owners (Doug Ayres) walked in and seated himself. We recognized him from the hotel property overview video and told him so. We chatted for a minute about some of the must see aspects of the property, then he enjoyed his breakfast and we finished ours. Overall we had a very enjoyable experience, great food, great service and good conversation.
