Just found a great new Italian restaurant in downtown Pismo on Pomeroy and PCH. The food was reasonably priced, large servings in a casual and family friendly environment.

You order at the counter and they bring your food. The salads were really good. The kids menu had large portions and my 4 and 5 year old loved the ravioli and pasta alfredo. They have pasta dishes you can order from the menu or you can pick the type of pasta and which sauce you want on it. They had a beer and wine bar. I didn't check if they had a full bar. The food was great!

They also make picnics to take to go for your hotel room or to take down to the beach. It's within walking distance to the beach.
