“Always a great place for deli salads, pizza, and pasta. I ordered a slice of Margarita pizza, the Caprese salad with ripe grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, olives, red peppers, and sliced jalapenos, and lemonade. This combo is less than $13. Fresh ingredients are brought in daily for their dishes. Service is fast and friendly. Plenty of parking in this strip mall and outdoor seating. Highly recommend it!“

“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.“

“Nate’s on Marsh was a truly delightful experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the ambiance was both cozy and elegant, and the owner and server went above and beyond to accommodate our celiac dietary restrictions. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience in the area.Dietary people in our family have celiac disease, and our waiter and the owner personally made sure that our dishes were prepared gluten-free. They even called the maker of one of their products to ensure it was 100% gluten-free. We have eaten at Nate’s on Marsh several times, and none of our celiac family members have gotten sick.The servers and owner make you feel welcome and are very supportive of your dietary restrictions, and open to making food substitutions for you.Parking: Plenty of paid street parking is available, and there is limited free parking in their parking lot. We have eaten at Nate’s on Marsh several times, and we haven’t had any issues with parking.“

Yolo Cannolo Bakery • $
4750 Allene Way, San Luis Obispo

“Best cannolis I’ve ever had! We ordered a dozen of the large size for our Xmas eve dinner. We ended up cutting some in half because the serving size is generous. Not one bite went un-consumed. Flavor balance of filling was perfect. Wonderful crunchiness to the wrap. Jeff and his team were amazing with communication also and ensured a seamless experience from start to finish. We will be using them in the future for larger company events. Thank you!“

“Good place for classic Italian favorites.* The warm bread and fresh service of oil and vinegar was a nice treat* Tortellini in brodo was delicious, as was the arugula salad for starters. Bravo!* Lasagna amazing, pillow soft, we’d pull the nutmeg in the sauce back just a touch* would be good if you could pour the WBTG at the table. A little more work, but feels more sincere. Selection of by the glass is good* Tap water seemed chlorinated; Recommend you either filter it or not make tap an option, tap is not pleasant.* Carbonara was excellent, maybe make the pasta a little more al dente?* Tiramisu was soft and delicious, lovely texture and moist* Overall the price for pasta is reasonable for the quality, frankly a good value for the overall experience“

“Located in the main building of the SLO Public Market, Humble Oven serves pizzas, pastas made from scratch, salads, and other specialties. We were in the mood for a good meatball sandwich. Since our regular go-to option has closed, we headed over to the SLO Public Market complex to try Humble Oven.Ordering was easy and quick. The personnel were very cordial and friendly, and the food was quite good. Our order of an Italian Meatball Sub and a Meatball Classic pasta was ready within 10 minutes.Their Italian Meatball Sub consists of four pork & beef meatballs, lemon ricotta, calabrian chili, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, topped with fresh basil on a French hoagie roll. The Meatball Classic pasta has three meatballs, pomodoro sauce, ricotta cheese, and housemade rigatoni pasta. On many of their offerings, one may customize their selection with additional choices of protein and/or veggies. Both of our selections were very flavorful, and we enjoyed them. One should know their tomato sauce is rather spicy, and the Meatball Sub seemed to have just a bit more warming heat, probably from the addition of calabrian chilis. The sauce on both seemed very similar.The price point is similar to an establishment offering table service. Considering all their food is packaged "to go", and one eats with plastic utensils and paper towels as napkins, it is expensive. They have a small counter to eat at, or one may sit in the main hall or outside at the courtyard tables.They use only the finest ingredients imported from Italy. The food was delightfully delicious.“
