Good food and friendly service

It was a very warm day on our way south on 101. We decided to stop for lunch in Paso Robles.

Papi's was just off the main drag and we decided to try it. I went inside to order while my wife waited outside at a table with some shade. The workers were so nice and brought out a bowl of water for our pooch.

The tacos were delicious and the service was quick.

Interesting sushi and nice patio

We sat with our pooch and had some sushi I have never experienced before. The chef is Japanese trained with a South American twist.

Service was friendly and the portions were large. I always finish my dinner but had to leave a few pieces behind.

Fresh Tasting Sushi

Tiny restaurant with one small table outside the night we went. They seemed to do a robust take out business.

They have a large menu. We had several different rolls, a seafood salad and miso soup. Friendly service offered our dog a water bowl.

Delicious Food and Good Service

I am stunned by some of the negative reviews but one never knows what was going on during those visits. We went in September 2024 with friends and our dog. We were seated on the front patio.

Our server Michael was very attentive to us and our dog. We were taking our time and had a leisurely dinner. We hadn't been to Casanova since before the pandemic but the food was as tasty as I remembered it.

We had a burrata and heirloom tomato salad (peak tomato season-order according to season), gnocchi, cannelloni, and sole. I'm from San Francisco and a food snob but this stacks up against our favorite Italian places in the City.

Great service and food!

My wife and I were prepared to eat out on the patio with our dog while the rest of the family went inside. As we sat one of the servers came out and said we could go inside. There were two other dogs inside but all were separated so no incidents.

And then the food came and we were all very pleased with our orders from my shakshouka to my wife's oatmeal with tons of fruit or my son's huge order of French toast. We had at least three different people tending to our table and everyone was very nice to us and our dog.

Easy parking, nice residential neighborhood for a post meal walk and a great start to a Sunday.

Dog friendly and great food

We ate on a chilly (for LA) night and they had very good heaters. Our friends had their dog and we had ours, water was brought out for our pooches. But best of all the food was very good. I had the combo platter of enchilada, crispy and soft taco-very tasty. Much better than what I was expecting in Beverly Hills. My wife liked her vegetable fajitas and we all enjoyed our skinny margaritas.

Great outdoor dining

we would go here without our dog but the fact that they have a gorgeous outdoor patio is just a bonus. Our pooch enjoyed the Wagyu bone while we enjoyed the house salad, grilled veggies and shrimp Al Plancha not to mention the veggie flatbread. portions were huge, the menu says they are meant to be shared. Happy hour also offers some great deals ($11 well drinks with a heavy pour). Service was
friendly and very attentive to our dog, the heating lamp and keeping our glasses full.
