2. Cello at The Allegretto Resort
If you’re staying in Paso Robles wine country, one of the most popular places to stay is The Allegretto Resort. They also have one of the best Paso Robles Restaurants on their property. At Cello, guests will dine on luxurious Mediterranean-inspired classics like Duck Breast and Leg Confit, Rack of Lamb, and Carpaccio.
The chef prepares all of the dishes over red oak which provides their distinct signature flavor. We enjoy Cello so much that we usually try to dine here twice during each visit.

3. Justin Winery
A trip to wine country would not be complete without a visit to Justin Winery and a visit to their Michelin-starred restaurant. Whether visiting for lunch or dinner, you’ll be indulged in an epic gourmet experience served with the best wine in Paso Robles.
Be sure to order their epic Cheese & Charcuterie Board adorned with local cheese curated by Shooting Star Creamery paired with cured meats from Alle Pia.
For dessert, their wine and chocolate pairing is fantastic and features artistically hand-painted chocolates from Justins’ pastry chef accompanied by a flight of 5 classic wines.

4. Cass Cafe
One of my favorite wineries in Paso Robles is Cass Winery. They offer fabulous wines, tons of fun activities, a wonderful on-property boutique hotel, and a delicious restaurant.
I absolutely love staying at their Geneseo Inn and always make a special visit to Cass Cafe, even when I’m not staying on the property. They are a fantastic spot to grab lunch, especially their wood oven pizza which is made right in front of you on their expansive patio.
In addition to their amazing pizzas, I also highly recommend their lavish seared torigoshi & sesame-seared ahi salad. You’ll find their menu is fresh and innovative with dishes inspired by coastal California cuisine.

5. Maddalena Bistro
If you’re craving Italian, Maddalena Bistro is located inside San Antonio Winery which is conveniently off the Highway 46 East as soon as you enter Paso Robles. It is also easy walking distance from The Allegretto Resort. It convenience makes this Italian bistro a great spot to grab lunch or dinner, but the food is also delicious.
Expect large generous portions of Italian favorites like Chicken Picatta and Lobster Ravioli. I always order their fabulous Beet Salad that is served with an entire ball of fresh Buratta cheese. They also offer a fabulous brunch and enjoying a wine pairing with your meal is only $25 for 5 generous pours.
