7 Best Italian Restaurants near Nipomo

“I got myself a delicious italian beef and cheddar sandwich and some chili cheese fries the other day. Been coming to this place since it was a little stand near walgreens and it never disappoints! It was definitely worth the 10 minute wait. Certainly a place I'll keep coming back to“

“We wandered in as visitors from the desert on a cold January evening. We sat at the only table in this adorably tiny (mostly take out) spot. Ate the best, chewiest, crunchiest Verdana Pizza and Insalata...mmm...apparently they make their own balsamic vinegar? Wow! Delish! Honestly, made me realize I need to move here to Arroyo Grande. The gal at the counter was so kind and inviting, and what's better than seeing her disinfect the tiny sink area with bleach? The guy cooking was quick and efficient and squeezed our order inbetween all the take out orders (we probably looked starved). What a great way to welcome us to Arroyo Grande.“

“DELICIOUS FOOD! We got the lasagna, baked penne, eggplant parm, shrimp primavera, and salads and everything was amazing! Great atmosphere, had a hometown feel, and the owner even came over to ask how everything was and tell us a little bit about the restaurant. Our waitress was so sweet and super attentive the whole meal. Overall a fantastic meal, 100% would go again!“

“So let me begin with this is for 2 visits. The first on a Sunday after returning from San Diego, we had great onion rings, a beer and an extremely sweet horchata. The service was great. I used to visit when it was Moxie and I was curious. Glad the layout didn't change, as I love how open it is and all the seating options.Our server told us about Mariachi night and it sounded like fun. It was suggested we make reservations. They were to begin between 6:30-7:00pm. I should have clued in then...We arrived around 5:30- clearly didn't need a reservation, as not many people were there.We started with a thin crust, Margarita pizza. It was soggy in the middle, needed to stay in a bit longer. We asked the server about the 2024 restaurant week specials,(the flier said to "ask your server about it) and her response was to scan the QR code, but I told her it said to ask, so she did her best by memory and did a good job.They list "Spring Rolls" but the description says they are deep fried- which tells me they are egg rolls. Had I read the description at the time, I would have ordered them because I love egg rolls, so maybe next time.The chicken picatta is cut up pieces of chicken breast with penne pasta in a dish that looks like a white porcelain hat, if put upside down. There was a small well in the middle to hold the food, so presentation was nice but not much food.We had finished eating before the mariachi band arrived, as they did not arrive until after 8:00pm. By the time they got there, it was very busy.We could not get our check, even after handing our server the credit card. We had to have a manager track it down.We hope to return for breakfast, but not for dinner on a mariachi night. I was really looking forward to the entertainment, but not 1.5 hours after it should have started.“

“They now serve Vietnamese Pho, and it's legit delicious! Since the new owner is Vietnamese, you can be sure they know how to cook it. The owner is so proud to informed us that the recipe is a family recipe from generations to generations. You can taste that the broth is not just made from a powder, it's with actual bone boiled for hours. The serving is very generous, with lots of meats and vegetables. Place is clean, people are nice and kind, server is good as well. There are lots of parking spaces available. The place is beside FoodTrip, a popular Filipino Restaurant.“
