We have eaten at Cafe de Villa three times during our Cayucos stay and had a wonderful experience each time. There are plenty of gluten free options for me, including good pizza, which is rare! The staff was great and the food was delicious each visit. We were even brought flourless cake to share for our 20th anniversary dinner. I highly recommend a reservation, as they are extremely busy. Also, the gluten free pasta takes a little longer to cook, so if you’re super hungry be sure to get an appetizer.
My wife and me were on vacation and decided to try them out. She had the eggplant parmesan and I had the chicken parmesan and we both agree it was some of the best we ever had. Highly recommend tgis place when staying here
We had a great dinner there. We walked in without a reservation and probably got the last table available before the place filled up with reservations. The caprese salad is probably the best we've ever had. Food and service were great. Definitely recommend .

Celebrated our 15th Wedding Anniversary! Shrimp Tortellini and Chicken Picata were amazing. The wine list was excellent. Our waiter was great too. I wish I could remember his name. Thank you for a great experience. Cayucos is our favorite place. We will for sure be back.

Had dinner with friends for my birthday and ALL our dinners were delicious, including the salads and desserts! Can't wait to go back! We highly recommend Cafe Della Via!!!
One of our all time favorite restaurants!!! The service is wonderful and the food is amazing! Great wine selection. Daily specials are always imaginative and delicious!!!! When we come up for the weekend we eat dinner here both nights. Love them.
My favourite restaurant in Cayucos. Small, a bit noisy....great ambience. Just like Italy! Food is amazing. Service is great! Wine delicious!
Our favorite place to dine when we visit Cayucos !! The food is always delicious and the service great !! It's a wonderful place to celebrate special occasions ...I really like the ambience, it's usually packed at night on the weekends, so a reservation is a good idea !!
Great food and amazing owners. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!!
Wonderful place. Denise was great! they can handle doing some items gluten free(pasta and pizza included) and she knew exactly what was. Food was delicious! This was our first time, we will be back!
What a great place...food was amazing along with the staff and the atmosphere. We'll be back.
Cafe Della Via is great we always love the food!! Denise knows how to host her place and we are never disappointed!!
Amazing food! We were seated immediately and the service was wonderful.
We we lucky enough to snag a new years eve dinner. It is the best Italian restaurant in the central coast. We had chicken marsala and the shrimp orcietta with a bottle of central coast wine. The evening was lovely.
We love this place, come here every time we are in Cayucos! We also have a vacation rental here and tell our guests to go, they are always so glad I told them! Linguine and clams are chicken Parmesan are some of our favorites!
Family run. Great atmosphere and friendly service. They have outdoor, dog-friendly dining. Nearly all items on the menu can be made gluten-free.
The food was pretty good, but not amazing: My dish was prepared with a boneless skinless chicken breast, which was a little dry. The flavors were on point, though. Good wine by the glass, and a decent selection.
The food was incredible, albeit it took a while to get to the table. The atmosphere and lighting was nice, apart from the fact that the main dining area was as loud as a high school cafeteria. They also forgot one of the things we ordered. All these are trivial though. The only reason I'm not giving this restaurant 5 stars is because the men's bathroom window was wide open to any would be peeping Tom and I couldn't close it.
Their service was absolutely amazing. We even forgot our left overs and one of the servers noticed and ran out to bring it to us.
Dinner tonight for anniversary. The food is beyond amazing. From the bread and olive oil, we had Bruschetta for an appetizer. My wife had chicken marsellesa and I had a port tenderloin dish I can’t remember the name of. Portions are very big Great service. Great place. Will be back on next trip and try one of the other mouth watering items
The Halibut and risotto was exceptional. The eggplant parmesan was very good too. Everyone at the table enjoyed the food, even the picky eaters. The chocolate cake was so good that we inhaled the cake just like other food we had ordered. Definitely we will stop by again when we are traveling in this area.
Love this restaurant! Been going there for 15+ years. The food is fresh and fantastic, great wine selection or bring your own. To top it off the owner, Denise, and her crew, Bliss, Emma and more are attentive, friendly and make you feel like family! It's a must on your list of restaurants on the Central Coast...

Ordered the seafood pasta dish with shrimp and clams. The service was fantastic, and the owner of the restaurant came over to make sure everything was ok.
They had a perfectly sized menu and the description of the meals definitely would entice one to return again the next time visiting the area
Amazing food, amazing people! My husband and I had our first date here 10 years ago and we've always come back for anniversaries and special occasions. Over all the years we've never had a bad experience or even food that was "just okay". We leave every meal feeling like that was the best meal we've ever had, and I'm not exaggerating!! Come here and you will not be disappointed! (And always call ahead for a reservation)
This place is absolutely amazing because of the wonderful service! The wine selection is absolutely amazing and the food is definitely out of this world!
We have lived in this area for around 30 years and tried every Italian place there is. We had been here a few years back but couldn't remember if it was good or bad. We went last night and woow! This place is incredible. Seriously this is the best Italian we have had. Better then cafe Roma and all others. Absolutely our new place for Italian.
The most delicious Italian food we’ve ever had. Great variety on the menu. We eat here frequently and enjoy many of their entrees. My favorite is lasagna and my husband loves their chicken Marsala. To be honest we have never ordered a meal we didn’t love. The service is exceptional too. I know you will enjoy this lovely place. Don’t miss out.
This place had delicious bread, kind waiters and amazing food.
Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Try the flat iron steak with bourbon peppercorn sauce was delicious and perfectly cooked. The chicken Marsala was amazing too. Even the coffee at the end of the meal was delicious. Fair prices and Fresh local ingredients. Definitely our new favorite place for a date.
Great Italian dinner! Pizza and pasta. We celebrated our 7th anniversary in this great little central coast town after quite a few abroad and this might have been our favorite dinner out of the 7. Big surprise to have such great Italian in this very small town. I highly recommend it!
This place is wonderful! We went for our anniversary, last minute. We were able to get the last available table.
The décor was cozy and intimate. Yes, when the room is full it does get loud, but it wasn't so bad that it took away from the experience. The service was impeccable. And the food! So delicious, my guy had the Lasagna Bolognese. I had to have a taste, soooo good! I had the Shrimp Risotto, it was perfection.
I highly recommend this little gem, the prices are VERY reasonable and you definitely need to make reservations. They were turning people away.
I'm looking forward to coming back again very soon.
