My husband and I went to dinner here tonight and it was GREAT. Really nice staff, small intimate restaurant, and GREAT ITALIAN FOOD! They have the choice of a small plate, or regular plate, so if you don't want/need a HUGE meal, you can save a little. Plus it helps leave room for dessert! We had (I'm not going to... More

If you've ever had a pizza in Italy and can't get that wonderful crust out of your mind, but can't seem to find it anywhere here in the states, then I have the answer for you.....Mama's Meatball in San Luis Obispo!!

The butternut squash ravioli is a personal favorite, but I've never been disappointed with any picks from their menu. The atmosphere in the evening is lovely.

Finally a grilled flank steak in a wine reduction sauce that was every... More
