They only had outdoor seating for the time we wanted to dine. Which worked out great for us. There's a heater outside so we were warm seating outside on this windy day. I think this was a better deal as the tables inside were very cramped/close together. There's just enough room to get by between tables! Out side we had a nice table and able to spread out a little. A much more comfortable option. We had a trainee waiter (Julio) and his supervisor Lalo ( I think that's his name). They had quite a list of specials the poor guy had to recite! He did a great job. The food was really good and portions were generous. We had Linguine ai muscoli di Mare e porri (withshrimp, scallops, clams and mussels) in a white wine sauce -I asked for the cream to be omitted. We also had the Orecchiette con rapine e luganega. Delicious and very generous portion We were stuffed and had to decline dessert. Definitely will come back again.

We started with the Insalata, then shared the Mighty Cap Mushroom Pasta with Guanciale and the Gamberi Fra Diavolo. Both pasta dishes came highly recommended by our server, and they were absolutely outstanding. I can confidently say it was the best pasta dishes I've ever had in my life. My wife and 6 year old son agreed, and we practically fought over the last bite. We finished with the tiramisu, which was also a 5 out of 5 and the perfect way to end the meal. The outdoor patio was beautiful and had a really unique water feature that made the area very relaxing. Etto would be a great choice for a date night, families, or larger parties.

We came here for my birthday dinner with a 7:15 reservation, and while the food and our server Yuki…read morewere genuinely great, the hostess experience was so frustrating it colored the entire evening. We arrived on time and stood at the entrance for about 7 minutes with zero acknowledgment. Servers and bussers walked right past us, no one said a word. When the hostess finally showed up, there was no apology, just a question about our reservation. She said our table was "almost ready" since the current guests had paid, but then refused to seat us at either of two open 4 tops, saying she wanted to save them for larger parties, even though at least four other 4 tops around the room already had just two people seated at them. She offered us a drink while we waited "a few minutes." Fifteen minutes later, still no table and no drinks provided, while guests with later reservations were seated ahead of us. When we asked again, her story changed: now the original table hadn't actually paid yet. By this point it had been 25 minutes past our reservation, so we finally confronted her directly and pointed out the empty 4 tops with only two people at them. Her explanation was that those parties had reservations, and I reminded her that we had a reservation too. She reluctantly seated us after that, with no apology or acknowledgement. What made it even more frustrating was watching her, later in the evening, seat other parties of two at 4 tops without any hesitation at all. There was never any acknowledgment of the wait or any reason given for why the rules seemed to apply differently to us. It's a shame, because the food and Yuki's service were excellent and deserved a five star night. But the disorganized, inconsistent hosting at the door made the first half hour of my birthday dinner stressful instead of special. Ask for Yuki if you go, just brace yourself at the door.

I have a deep appreciation for two types of cuisine: Cuban cuisine and pizza, and I always make it a point to acknowledge places that leave a lasting impression. My wife, a chef with over 20 years of experience, shares my passion for pizza, often claiming to love it even more than I do. Recently, she tried the margherita pizza and declared it the best she has ever tasted, a compliment I haven't heard from her regarding pizza in quite some time. While I also enjoyed the pizza, my only critique was that I found the mozzarella cheese to be a bit sparse for my taste. Nevertheless, the cheese pizza was quite delicious overall. read more

The place is pretty laid back casual and, yes, they had the game on. They also have a little arcade area for the little ones. We had the Sicilian pizza. It was just ok. White sauce on it. I think the crust is what made it not so great because the toppings were fine. The big plus is that they have a decent salad bar although they charge a lot for it. One tiny, tiny bowl, with only one trip for $4. You can get a plate with only one trip for $5.60. Much better option. All-in-all it was a bit expensive for what you got. read more

There were a number of 'lunchtime' patrons coming and going as I was waiting for my order. All of them seemed to be 'regulars' that the owner called by name and knew what they were going to order. I spoke with three of the patrons. They were seated eating their 'usual' lunch. They had been coming to the Pizza Express for a while. And sometimes visit the other Paso Robles location on Creston Road with their families for dinner. One even went as far as to say he preferred the Creston location because the pizza ovens were different and seemed to bake a little different. Regardless he is a fan of the new location as well. I ordered the Antonia's pizza. It was SUPERB! As a matter of fact, it is the best pizza I have had in a very long time. The crust was not prefab. It was soft and crunchy at the same time. Held the ingredients well without getting a soggy bottom. The quality of the ingredients was good. Mostly this pizza reminded me of the kind of pizza one used to get at pizza parlors that did fresh, hand-tossed, dough. Even though I had to transport my pizza home it was still warm and very tasty. Usually when I get a to-go pizza, in town, it is cold and the crust is hard by the time I get home. I will give this place another try to see if there is any change in quality or service at a later date. For now, Pizza Express will be my to-go-to pizza parlor.
