I can not believe the negative reviews of this lovely restaurant. We came with a party of five. We were warmly greeted at the door and seated at a very comfortable table. The atmosphere was straight out of a European magazine. The waitress was knowledgeable and answered our questions. The food was magnificent. Everyone ordered differently. The San Dabs melted... more

Just like many of the other reviews....YUK!!!! We were greeted at the entrance by a very grouchy hostess (which turned out to be the owner). Luckily we had a reservation because the poor people that followed us in didn't and all she could yell at them was, "9:00!!!!! Come back then!!!" We were seated, the busboy was kind and polite... more

I waited forever and the hostess just ignored us. I was wearing a leather jacket and carrying a motorcycle helmet. Do they not serve people that are into motorcycles? I felt discriminated against. I'm clean cut, retired military and have a very nice family. Also, I guess they didn't know that I have a great job in Aerospace and make... more

I'm sorrry to say that I cannot comment on the quality of the food at this restaurant. Due to an incredibly rude and arrogant "hostess" we were denied the chance to try it. Having stood in reception and been ignored by her on the three seperate occassions she passed us she finally did decide to acknowledge our existance. We requested... more

Pezzulo's is the best Italian food I have found on the Central Coast. I would recommend the House Salad. The dressing they created for it just dances on your tongue and your taste buds scream from excitement. They have an excellent selection of wines to accent the food. The service was excellent and the ambiance was classic California Italian. I... more

My wife and I celebrate our wedding anniversary at Pezzulo's and enjoyed lovely well prepared and nicely presented meals. The wine was a fine compliment to our dinner. Service was typical of college age waiter staff - polite but not world class. Better can't be expected for the prices and locale. more
