Central Coast Restaurants

Mistura has become one of our favorite dinner destinations in Downtown SLO! It is one of those rare restaurants that somehow manages to create meals that are visually stunning to look at, delicious to eat, and most importantly nutritious. This is not an easy trick to pull off here on the Central Coast, where sandwiches/pizza/tacos reign supreme! This particular meal was extra special because Mistura helped us celebrate my birthday with a complimentary Arroz Chaufa. We paid an up charge to add perfectly grilled, Peruvian spiced shrimp, which is definitely the best way to enjoy that particular staple dish. We paired it with the Nikkei sushi roll that we've been wanting to sample, made with Peruvian Paiche white fish and plantains. Also yum! We paired all of this with a perfectly crafted Pisco Sour (see image)! Finally, we always save room for dessert because Mistura's in-house pastry chef is second to none. This time we savored a mouse crafted to look like a rose!

This is a lovely Italian restaurant in San Luis Obispo, off the beaten path. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Our meal started with a delicious bread basket. My husband had chicken parmesan which was delicious and I had ravioli with meat sauce that was also very good. We each had a salad, which were fresh and nicely presented. Our service was spot on, but never intrusive. We ended our meal with creme brulee---scrumptious. There is indoor and outdoor seating available.

Went for our anniversary and was exceptional. They seated us early before our appt time and even switched tables so we could get a booth table. Server and food was great.

One of my top dining experiences of my entire year! From the low-lit atmosphere, to the incredible menu, and perfect recommendations from our kind server. I will drive hours just to dine here again!

We had a wonderful time at breakfast. The server was wonderful and the atmosphere was lovely. Although some of the food was a little on the overcooked side, it was still very good. We will be back for sure! Thankful OpenTable could help us with a reservation on a holiday too!
