Good food, good ambience. People who’re visiting SLO and would like some authentic northern Italian cuisine should try this place out. They’ve got a good selection of wines as

Just had a delicious dinner with ZERO atmosphere. We made a reservation for 7pm and were told we would be seated inside. We were seated at a table for 3 people next to the hostess station and facing the wall although the front room wasn’t full and there was a lovely table for 4 that was in the front window and never had any diners the entire time we were there. So disappointed… we will NEVER sit where we sat again…the price of our bill $148 + 20% tip. Have eaten at the restaurant several times when I visit my 2 sons who live in SLO, first time I’ve been disappointed….? K. Fujii

We absolutely love this hidden gem in SLO! It is tucked away on Monterey Street... and while the inside dining area is quaint and small, the back covered patio area has excellent vibes and greenery for a romantic and delightful ambiance.The food is incredible! Pastas are freshly made and service was excellent. We quite prefer this gem to larger, more popular Italian restaurants in SLO.

This used to be my favorite place until the service got so slipshod and rude the food can't make up for the unpleasant experience. How disappointing ? I got your answer, but can't find any place to respond in private. I really don't have more info for you.

First time here for a date night. Cozy spot. Busy on a rainy friday night. The servers were great. The food was simple and delicious. Would return surely.

Impeccable place. We ordered four dishes for 5 and were more than satisfied. The attention was impeccable and we arrived 40 minutes before they closed. The owner the same, very friendly and attentive. The best of San Luis de

If you expect your reservation to be kept to what you set it as. You may as well not make one, the hostess deliberately said I made a reservation for 2 people and 1 dog when I had said 2 dogs. Because of this they said they could not accommodate my party. What a joke, unfortunately I can’t say how the food taste. Maybe great? But service sure does suck, Giuseppe's Cucina is my go to while In SLO. I thought I would venture off and try something new but not after that experience.

Genuine Italian! Very fancy. Very delicious. Great ambiance with heated outdoor covered seating out back. But expect to pay for multiple small courses to get full if you come starving. Plan on $35/person absolute bare minimum. Again, 2x that if you come really hungry, and more if you buy drinks. Would come again with my wife.
