It’s no shock that Allegretto Winery Resort’s solely restaurant is implausible, since every part at Allegretto is beautiful. The Paso Robles restaurant is fantastically appointed with white stone, purple accents, and beautiful chandeliers. We largely opted to eat breakfast and dinner exterior although, because the patio has an unbelievable sundown view and the climate was virtually good. With revolutionary cocktails and many enjoyable plates to share, you’ll wish to eat right here many times!
Dinner
We ate dinner at Cello Ristorante twice and I couldn’t even wait to inform you concerning the freaking pizza. We ordered the Campagnolo pizza with basil pesto, rooster, roasted potatoes, pickled onion, and mozzarella. Omg! It was so tacky and contemporary and scrumptious. We even ate it chilly leftover and it nonetheless tasted superb.
With grilled lemon, thick-cut bacon, and actual anchovies, the Caesar salad can be a should and goes completely with a pizza. You too can get the Caesar topped with rooster, salmon, shrimp, or steak. Yum!
As for appetizers, the charcuterie is gorgeous and good to snack on again in your courtyard terrace should you don’t end all of it at dinner. The charcuterie board had Mortadella, chorizo, and salami, brie, Marcona almonds, Manchego cheese, candied walnuts, grapes, dried fruits, fig jam, olives, crackers, a beautiful assortment for any palette. The winter burrata salad has house-made focaccia, child beets, and a scrumptious garlic confit.
However my absolute favourite dinner merchandise at Cello Ristorante needs to be the Brussels Sprouts. This dish is a ten/10. It’s a little bit spicy with out being overpowering. The creamy gorgonzola is the right distinction to the warmth. The usage of Nueske bacon right here is DIVINE and the sauce is good and sticky and superb. It’s a must-order dish for foodies!
Dessert
I want we had eaten extra desserts at Cello, however I do have to spotlight the one one we did strive: the Cello Lemon Cake. Previous to my journey, I had written “Order Cello Lemon Cake!!” on my Paso Robles notes and boy am I glad I did. This moist cake is the right mixture of candy and tart. I’m arduous to impress relating to cake however Cello doesn’t disappoint with its pastries.
Breakfast/Brunch
There are fairly just a few breakfast and brunch choices at Cello, together with a weekend buffet that we sadly didn’t partake in. I kicked off my birthday with Belgian waffles served with lemon curd. I don’t usually order waffles at a restaurant however I simply couldn’t resist the fluffy Belgians with California berries.
We additionally picked up a pastry field on our option to Hearst Fort, which I extremely suggest doing should you’re in dashing off someplace. The field got here with quite a lot of fruit pastries, mini chocolate croissants (which we delighted in additional than as soon as!), a brilliant tender blueberry muffin, and extra. We even ate the final ones on the best way to the airport days later and so they had been nonetheless scrumptious!
My absolute favourite breakfast merchandise although was the bagel with lox, which is on the menu as “Royal Cambridge Home Open-Fireplace Smoked Salmon.” The presentation alone had me so excited! The dish is served with whipped cream cheese in tantalizing piles underneath toasted bagel items with a surprising smoked salmon rose within the middle. Are you kidding!? This dish was made for me! My dream dish…within the form of the rose! Perfection.
Espresso
Final however definitely not least, I’ve to provide a shoutout to the espresso at Allegretto. It’s my largest pet peeve once I’m touring that I can’t appear to get an honest cup of espresso however that’s NOT the case right here. The espresso is great. You possibly can both get pleasure from a piping scorching cup at Cello or get the identical espresso to go within the foyer on the handy espresso bar, additional proving that Allegretto actually cares concerning the visitor expertise.
