Cucina Rustica Italiana – Since 1980 Cafè Roma has been creating a colorful gastronomic history in San Luis Obispo. The Italian restaurant is located in the historic Railroad Square of San Luis Obispo, near the train station. This location is just 2 minutes from downtown and very close to Cal Poly’s world class Performing Arts Center. Café Roma features indoor and outdoor dining and specializes in intimate meals and large parties. The garden patio is covered with a full awning, heated and beautifully lit at night. Step into the dining room and let the comfortable Tuscan decor surround you as the staff graciously serves you selections from Maria Rosa Rizzo’s menu. Stroll into the Ciclo Club bar and enjoy cocktails made from fresh fruits and classic spirits. Or catch the soccer game while enjoying a pizza and a beer.
