" My husband and I chose Buona Tavola for our anniversary dinner, and we were not disappointed. The start was smooth, greeted with warm bread and an olive tapenade that set the tone for the meal. Our entrees were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The tagliatelle was particularly memorable and each bite was a revelation. Although the restaurant was bustling, our server maintained attentiveness and we felt well cared for. This is now one of our go-to spots for Italian in Paso Robles! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Buona Tavola was a delightful culinary journey. The bruschetta was vibrant and bursting with flavor, and I could tell the ingredients were incredibly fresh. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff were attentive yet not intrusive. I sampled the pappardelle and it was made to perfection, sitting in a light sauce that didn't overpower the dish but enhanced every bite. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading about Buona Tavola, I decided to visit on a busy Saturday night. Despite the crowd, the staff made every effort to ensure we were taken care of. The calamari was lightly fried, nothing too heavy. I had the orecchiette for my main dish, and it was just delightful. The combination of flavors melted in my mouth, while the ambiance made the night feel special. I fully recommend stopping by, just make sure to book a reservation beforehand. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting from out of state, a local recommended Buona Tavola and it lived up to the hype! The service was prompt, and the food was exceptionally fresh. We were blown away by how flavorful the mushroom risotto was, mingled perfectly with herbs. The atmosphere was lively, and we truly enjoyed dining on the patio. The restaurant is a bit hard to find, but definitely worth the effort for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

I'll be back to give it another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended Buona Tavola, and I’m glad I took the plunge to try it! I loved the atmosphere and the genuine Italian decor. The food was amazing! I tried the pappardelle afumicata with shrimp, and the flavors were out of this world. Every bite was a pleasure, combined with a nice local red wine. I can't recommend this place enough for an authentic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
