Food is passable and I would have returned but there are much much better options in SLO right down the street. Asked for extra sauce and was charged $6.50 for it on the bill. I asked for it and I paid for it without a fuss even though I had no idea they’d charge for it. But that $6.50 gotcha fee really got me and will keep me out the door for good. It’s not that I can’t afford it but it’s the principle, $6.50 for extra sauce come on man. Do better, it’s not gonna make you rich but it will keep customers like us out of the door for good.

Request Jackson as your server! He adds so much to the experience! Food and atmosphere on the patio was so so nice. The house made charcuterie board was perfect and the vino was excellent.

The service was flawed significantly, firstly, after almost an hour after we ordered the waited informed us that our order was sold out. To compound matters, the waitress broke a wine glass on me didn't apologize and the waiter brrought a half filled wine glass without apologising. Once I came home I found glass shards all over my wool shirt and the was never an apology for any of the managers which is unbelievable, this level of poor incompetent service should never occur at a “caliber” restaurant.
Stay away a go to Mcdonalds unless you want glass broken all over and your food not delivered as ordered

Buona Tavola is a little piece of Italy in the heart of California. Excellent quality raw materials, excellent wine and hospitable staff. Absolutely worth trying, we had a great time.

In a delightful and pleasant city, a restaurant where an Italian feels at home and a tourist can appreciate the goodness of Italian cuisine and the excellent choice of raw materials. Really recommended.

Don't let the price of a meal scare you away! -- This place is a MUST Visit - if you can get a table. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the fantastic CA evening.
The Carciofi ai petali di parmigiano salad was unbelievable! -- Simply put - one of the best salads I have ever had. Definitely worth the price and I will be making this at home too.
We went to dinner on 1/2 price bottle of wine night; so we splurged and got a Super Tuscan wine! It was a fantastic complement to both meals my friend and I selected. (Crognolo - for those interested) - very nice mild red. It was a perfect compliment to seafood pasta special, I enjoyed.
Then OMG their Crema Di Vaniglia Della Buona Tavola and Fior di Seta deserts were simply unforgettable! -- Presentation matched the flavor and tastiness of each.
Be sure to come here with an appetite -- you won't be disappointed.

We wanted to find a nice restaurant to celebrate my birthday. We made reservations at Buona Tavola. Glad we did as it was mothers day!
We started with bread and olive tapanade. Very good.
The Cesar Salad was unique and special. It came as two small romaine lettuce heads with the dressing, cheese, and whole Anchovy's toppings.
My wife ordered a couple of samplers of pasta. She first ordered the Spaghettini aglio olio e peperoncino. She also the Tortelloni di zucca alla salvia e mascarpone, both thought was very flavorful.
I had the Bocconcini Portobello which was very good. I had pasta in the marsala sauce instead of mashed potatoes. It was very good.
The service was good and Paulo, (the owner?), took great care of us. You know you choice the right Italian restaurant when the staff are speaking Italian! All in all a great place!
