Skip this place. Better places in Pismo. Not quality food. Small portions. Short staffed. Will not return.

My main gripe with this establishment is that we ordered from Tulare Ca to have it catered in Pismo Beach. The shop is in Arroyo Grande.
1st they quoted my wife a price over the phone that was good for what they said came with it.
Then as the day approached to my sons wedding, the price jumped over 100.00.
The caterer said that the original quote was too low and this was the new price. Then we look to see that they messed up our order and brought the wrong dish.
What are we going to do? The rehearsal dinner was that day.
We made do and told the guy, we were originally quoted 480.00 now you're showing up the day of and saying that it's almost 600.00.
My wife said, I have 500.00 cash.
He took it and left. No apologies. So if it were my hard earned money, I would use someone else for catering.

I have visited Pismo Beach 4 times during the last 2 months. On my last visit, I had a taste for Italian food. Having had Italian last time I was in town, in downtown Pismo. I was looking for something better. I did a quick search and found Ginas Italian Cuisine. I read the reviews and had to try it. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew it was going to be a great experience. After being seated. My server Antoinette ( Toni ) came up and introduced herself. I have to say, when tou visit Ginas, please do yourself a favor and request Antoinette. Antoinette is absolutely outstanding. Antoinette began to explain the days specials and proceeded to mention the special seasonal appetizer, the Zucchini Blossom. Antoinette enthusiasm while explaining how it was prepared, sold me immediately. I could not have been happier with her recommendation. My dining experience there was superb. Definitely looking forward to returning and requesting Antoinette again as well.

Wonderful and unique food. Ravioli is not what average Americans think of stuffed squares.
Paste fresh made.
Very delicious and friendly staff

5 Stars, across the board! My pizza came just a couple of minutes after my daughter's and the waiter apologized profusely and went out of his way to compensate us, at his insistence. The food was fantastic, outside seating was perfect, and the service was impeccable.

Been going to Pismo for years with my man we drove up the coast and thru this cute town I saw Gina’s and we went there for dinner only to go back the next day for a late lunch. Service was great food was awesome we will be going back

I don’t know if the chef called out today or what, but I was essentially served a gooey sloppy mess and was told it was “Lobster & Shrimp Ravioli”. It was edible but you couldnt tell the difference between meat, sauce, and pasta. It was worse then a microwaved bertoli meal. Great service and appetizers regardless, but the Entrees were a major disappointment.

I've come here off and on over decades, through different owners, etc. Really like what the most recent ownership has done with decor, menu, service. I find it reasonably priced for very good food. Nice local vibe - casual but classy. Recommended

Really good Italian food and fairly priced for location and quality. Thru service bread before dinner with a tomato dip which was really nice. Would definitely go back.

The food is awesome, the staff is great and the atmosphere is nice.
It's so much nicer than it was years ago. It used to be more of a family restaurant with ok food, but now its more upscale and the food is great. The staff was friendly and attentive. It would be a good place to go for a date night. Probably the best Italian food in the area.
The Calamari Piccata was the best calamari I've ever had! They pound it out so it's very tender.

After searching the area for authentic Italian pizza or even new york-style pizza we we're quite disappointed until we found Gina's! Everything we ordered from wine to appetizers to entrees was fantastic! Food was served promptly and they were very attentive to make sure we had a wonderful time.
