    This has become my favorite restaurant in the SLO area. We were there with a party of 4. We all ordered different things (chicken over risotto, Salmon over polenta with veggies, shrimp and pancetta pasta, Flatiron steak with potatoes) and each dish was beautifully prepared and so delicious! All the seasonings and sauces were spot on and the meats/fish cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding, portions were a good size, dessert was excellent (we had choc cake and tiramisu), and both the restaurant and the gardens are very charming. For this high quality food, prices were reasonable. COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF...we will be back for certain!!

    My wife and I made a reservation through the Open Table App and confirmed our reservation by calling the restaurant. The day of the reservation, the hostess made a mistake by seating another couple under our reservation, but they were still able to seat us. The food was on point and the cocktails were amazing. This place really lives up to its hype. Shout out to John the Bartender, best bartender in the Central Coast. Very pleased spending Valentines dinner at Parchetto.

    Considering it was Valentine’s Day I think the restaurant did amazing overall! The food was amazing, the service was top notch. The noise was very loud but that’s understandable considering how many tables were in there. We will definitely be back.

    We had a great dining experience at this charming bistro. It was an intimate setting with friendly staff. I ordered a Granada punch and it was delicious. Everything we ordered for dinner was fresh, flavorful and original. The honey glazed salmon with sunchoke puree was the best I've had in years (I need to order salmon more often). Our experience was memorable and we will be dining here more often!
