Etto Pastificio — Restaurant in Templeton

*Update. I feel it is important that i provide an update to my below original review. Despite my experience I am updating it to 4 stars b/c the owner went above and beyond.

Thank you Brian for caring enough to reach out.

The food is not authentic and made me sick. The olive tapenade was made with poor quality green pimento olives. The only parmesan they offered was paper packets of parmesan that you would get with your pizza delivery. How does an Italian or pasta place not offer fresh parmesen?

I did something at the end of our tasting that I generally don't do; signed up for your club, especially when I heard I could taste, and then purchase the wines I prefer. Six stars for your wine, please keep it up, and I hope you maintain your identity as a winery not a...

Great pasta (fresh and dry) made on site with equipment and dies from Italy. Wonderful shop on site with fresh pasta and other great fresh items, plus many Italian imports.

A newly opened (2023) adjacent restaurant has a great looking menu. Ate lunch there April 14, 2024. We tried 2 pastas which were good, their Caesar salad which was very good, and their lemon cake. The cake was lemony, but a very course texture and would have been better as a shortcake with juicy berries. We'll try another dessert next time.
