After ten years at the San Luis Obispo location, Buona Tavola has expanded with a new location in Paso Robles, and full service catering to meet all your needs. The Paso Robles Buona Tavola is in the heart of the beautiful wine country and offers the same fabulous food, a full bar, and a casually elegant environment. Buona Tavola’s menu features a wide variety of antipasti (appetizers), hand crafted primis (pastas), generous secondi (main courses) and truly inspired dolci (desserts), such as Chef Varia’s famous tirami su. No matter what your pleasure, Chef-Owner Antonio Varia and his staff promises to bring you the highest quality and freshest foods prepared with love.

For well over a decade, Antonio Varia has been delighting the discerning palates of Central Coast residents with an inventive Northern Italian cuisine. Opened in 1992, Buona Tavola (meaning “good table”) is the realization of a dream. Working as an apprentice in the restaurants of his native Northern Italy, Antonio continued his training in Europe’s finest hotels. He honed his skills on the Princess Cruise lines, and as executive chef in several award-winning Los Angeles eateries. Buona Tavola in downtown San Luis Obispo opened to rave reviews. The esteemed Zagat Survey gave it the highest ratings of any restaurant in the county, calling it “superb dining” with “great wine” in a “charming setting…one of the best between Los Angeles and San Francisco”.

A decade later - responding to clamor from loyal patrons and new arrivals alike - Antonio opened this location in downtown Paso Robles. Happily situated at the seat of our county’s bountiful wine country, Buona Tavola Paso Robles offers the same superb cuisine and impeccable service in a quietly elegant setting. Both restaurants offer Antonio’s unmatchable cuisine for offsite events, such as weddings, wine dinners and private parties. The skill that comes with hard-won years of experience and the area’s freshest seasonal ingredients are apparent in every dish that is served, every day of the week. Plus the main ingredient straight from Antonio himself.
