Buona Tavola - Paso Robles (CA)

5 /5 Darrin Baker: The food and the weight staff was excellent if you’re going, I would recommend making a reservation. We sat at the bar because the tables were all full.

5 /5 Dawn Baker: First, Claudia the bartender is amazing. We sat at the bar for dinner, and the service was excellent. The entire staff we encountered were professional and friendly. The food is delicious. The drinks were so good. We were recommended to come here from a friend in Bakersfield, and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend!! Thank you for a great dining experience!! We can’t wait to return.

5 /5 Robert Henry: Excellent food, service and overall experience. I only disliked the noise level. Our waitress had to repeat herself on both sides of our table of six. But epic dishes are amazing. I loved the veal which I cut with a fork!

3 /5 David B: While the food here is consistently good, unfortunately our experience this visit was horrible due to all of the fruit flies. We spent the ENTIRE meal swatting away the insects that were constantly buzzing around the food and drink. At one point there were at least 4. The staff said it’s been a problem for over a week and management hasn’t done anything about it. One staff said it’s because of the harvest. However, we visited multiple wineries and restaurants this week and had zero fruit flies at any of the places. I can only imagine how many end up in the food. BEWARE THE FLIES!!!

5 /5 Lori Esser: Several weeks ago, my husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Buona Tavola. We expected this to be a good choice as we visited a year earlier and had a great experience. This last visit was no exception. Every course we ordered was excellent, the service was attentive and never overbearing, the wine list was extensive and had solid selections across price points, and the ambiance was fun. We even met a new friend at the table next to us. We recommend the mussels in spicy tomato sauce, the pappardelle, and the rustic apple tart. Buona Tavola holds its own with the high end dining establishments in Paso Robles and we will be sure to visit again on a future trip.
