Here's the review in English: An Unforgettable Experience at Giuseppe s restaurant Coktaleria, Pismo Beach Our visit to Coktaleria was exceptional, exceeding all our expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by an elegant and welcoming atmosphere, with tables set with cloth napkins that already hinted at a special evening. The service, handled by a young and dynamic team (with members not exceeding 30 years of age), was simply impeccable. Their attentiveness, agility, and professionalism made the experience even more enjoyable. They stood out for their speed and efficiency, without compromising on friendliness. We loved the restaurant's flexibility; my children were able to order pizza with pineapple, a detail that is always appreciated when traveling with kids. Additionally, I had the chance to try some local clams they offered, and they were delicious. In summary, Coktaleria not only offers excellent food but a complete and highly recommended gastronomic experience. It's a positive and refreshing addition to the area, and undoubtedly, a place we will return to. Congratulations to the entire team!

I’ve always been a fan of Guiseppes Express. The new version expanded on the success of the old original shop and raised it to a new elevated level. Full bar, larger menu, more grocery options, more seating. It really does feel like a proper Italian deli grocery store. Our local go to for quick Italian.

Great food and pasta! I stopped in here while on vacation. The pizza was good, and you could order by the slice. There are plenty of deli items, and they will cook deli items for you! I did not much care for the windy outdoor seating.

The pepperoni slice was amazing — perfect dough with a great sauce that wasn’t too greasy. The tiramisu was delicious as well. This place is great for a quick bite, offering some seating and even a small market area where you can shop for pasta, sauces, and more. Definitely a nice spot to grab a tasty slice and pick up some quality ingredients!

Just like the old place but better! Everything is bigger and better. Expanded menu with great food selection including sandwiches, salads, pizza (by the piece or whole) and deserts. Lots of wine varieties too. Also, great option for table service inside or order at the counter and enjoy it at a table outside on the patio. Free parking behind.
