Guido’s

This place has become my favorite affordable tapas restaurant. The service and quality are not quite to the level of Modesto or Mosaic but the price is right. The restaurant is located on Shaw Ave in the Hill neighborhood and they do serve Italian cuisine. But they also have a unique list of Spanish tapas and very affordable Spanish temperonilla wines. The atmosphere is homey and hearing the Italian music in the background lends a nice touch.
They have a great plate of Spanish cheeses, such as Manchego. There are homemade Spanish meatballs with onions, garlic and a white wine sauce. I loved the baked brie and tomato basil compote that is zingy and flavorful. The Empananadillas pastries are just right, stuffed full with chicken or tuna. The variety is unique and affordable. This is the place to go when you can't make a decision.
