Etto Pasta Bar - Paso Robles (CA)

4 /5 Sky Thai: Outstanding pasta! The quality of the noodles is excellent and love that they have a shop next door that sells their pasta during the day. A good vibe here and recommend making reservations. The sauce is really good too and makes the dish just like what could get a in Italy itself. I also really appreciated the Caesar Salad that had wonderful crispy capers that added a great saltiness and texture and the anchovies that were exquisite and a treat as well. One of the best Caesar Salads that I’ve had! The Eggplant Parmesan was good but a bit too decadent with a lot of cheese — while it was good, definitely heavy and wished for a bit more balance with the eggplant. Overall, great place in Tin City and would go back!

5 /5 Mad Dog: The food here was phenomenal! We stopped in for lunch and had the Bolognese and Pesto. Both dishes were amazing. Noodles perfectly cooked. Amazing sauces really well balanced. Visit their store next door to buy take home ingredients.

2 /5 Rob Neuhaus: The cashier was friendly and helpful. The food came out super fast. But the food was just kinda bad. The red wine was served a bit too cold. The attached picture is how how I left my plate. I usually love pesto. I could have ate it, but Id much rather invest the decadent calories in something that actually brought me joy.

5 /5 Natalie Caldwell: After a day (or morning) of wine tasting, there’s no better time for Italian food. Etto Pasta Bar, located in Tin City, is one worth going to. A bit of a different approach than a traditional Italian restaurant, you order at a counter, pay, and then take your number to the seat of your choosing. But don’t let the number fool you - service is swift, helpful, and kind. It wasn’t longer than ten minutes that we had our salad and pasta dish in front of us. Be warned or excited - these portions are sizable and great for sharing (especially the salads). The Caesar salad had the most amazing dressing and the amatriciana pasta dish was to die for. Simple, and perfectly executed. Go to Etto, you won’t regret it.

3 /5 Abigail Mendoza: Tried Etto Pasta Bar after it was recommended by a couple. We got takeout and were excited to try it, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. I ordered the bolognese and was disappointed; it tasted more like basic spaghetti with meat sauce than a rich, flavorful bolognese. The portion size was also surprisingly small for the price. The staff was friendly and we did not wait very long for our order. Overall, not terrible, but definitely underwhelming. I wouldn’t recommend it.
