Cello Ristorante & Bar - Paso Robles (CA)

4 /5 Jamie Oakland: Made reservations for lunch (11:30 AM) and dinner (7:30 PM) for 6 guests during our weekend stay at Allegretto. Lunch experience was amazing! Macie was incredibly sweet, attentive, and helpful. Food and drinks were delicious! -Margherita pizza -Italian sandwich with fries -Side salad -Tomato soup -Carjillo cocktail 20% tip included for group size. Wish our dinner experience was as stellar as lunch, but the service was much slower, inconsistent, and not as pleasant. Food was okay (would not order the same dishes next time): -Focaccia Complimentary Bread (probably the best part of the meal!) -Pesto linguine (didnt love it) -Vegetable Tempura (similar to deep fried fair food, very heavy) -Side salad Cocktails are on the pricier side, but the several we ordered were delicious! -Fire pits -Bocce Ball -Beautiful decor -Mostly clean (some neglected cobwebs on various fixtures) Overall, nice restaurant to have as a guest at the resort. Would recommend for a nicer, date night style experience.

3 /5 M.Gökay Borulday: Cello Ristorante & Bar nails the atmosphere and the service. Everyone was friendly and attentive. But the food? That’s where things got shaky. We ordered the Pea Risotto with beef and the Chicken Piccata. The risotto was basically an onion parade—so dominant it canceled out everything else. The chicken was okay but dry (classic breast meat struggle). Thankfully, the wine pairing did some damage control. We also tried a few breakfast items during our stay at the hotel connected to the restaurant. Unfortunately, the same theme continued: most dishes were under-seasoned. Some tasted like the salt and spice budget ran out halfway through the recipe. If you’re going for a drink and a good vibe, you’re in luck. Just don’t come expecting fireworks on the plate.

5 /5 David Weinberg: Food was excellent. Server was very attentive. Environment was very nice except the group of four screaming, giggling, running young children. Its a very nice restaurant. Its not Chuck E Cheese. People dont control their children. It ruins the experience for others.
