Destino's

Amazing food and service, the price was very fair, food came out delicious and I loved the theme of the place

Coconut shrimp, scampi, chicken Parmesan and children's pizza all delicious. Greeted with a lovely smile by the host. Our server Javi was attentive and on his game. Great service. We sat upstairs and it was on a very hot day but it was comfortable. Both our server and host asked if we were cool enough. We actually parked and were going to try the other Italian restaurant down the road but the body language and tone of the bartender and host were as if we were a nuisance so we walked out and walked 800 feet down the street and glad we did. Will always choose Destino's when in Merced.

We recently had lunch here and they definitely serve big portions. We saw really great reviews so we decided to come here. As soon as we walked in, you can tell right away that the service was gonna be great. We were greeted with friendly faces and happy servers.Once we were seated I noticed several tables and seating upstairs too. We sat downstairs but the servers were really on point with waiting on all the tables up and down stairs. The place is really cute. It's warm and welcoming. If you're in the area and looking for a nice place for lunch or dinner then you should check this Italian restaurant out.Prices are not too bad and we had plenty of leftovers left. The only thing is the parking. I'm not sure if it gets busy during this time, but we could not find a place to park, so we had to drive around for a bit.

Ordered chicken Parmesan with a side of salad and went to take a bite and saw the hair ‍‍‍

If your not sitting at the bar service is none existent.Tables are left unbused. Wish pizza had more toppings Overall food was good. Will be back

There aren't many fun places in Merced to have lunch, but we enjoy sitting at a table outside...we've always enjoyed great service & the food has always been great...including gluten free items!

My boyfriend and I love coming here for our date night whenever we can. He always gets the margarita pizza, which is absolutely delicious, it always comes out hot and always has such great flavor. I also really appreciate that the crust is cooked through and crunchy, but not overcooked or burnt. I always get the Shrimp Scampi Linguine. It is absolutely delicious, if that was my last meal then I'd be happy to have eaten that. The flavor is so wonderful, the noodles are cooked perfectly every single time. I love that it comes with a piece of garlic bread and that is delicious as well, it has great seasonings and matches perfectly with the pasta spices and flavors in the pasta. The first time I got the pasta, the waiter mentioned he added the alfredo sauce in it, and I refuse to get the pasta without that alfredo sauce in it. One of my all-time favorite dishes here.Appetizers we've had: Bruschetta, Beer Battered Cheese Bites, Fried Cheese Ravioli. The Bruschetta is delicious, the bread is crunchy and the tomato toppings have great flavor just from themselves, and it's the perfect amount of balsamic vinegarette that doesn't empower anything but simply adds to the flavor of it all. The Beer Battered Cheese Bites are wonderful! The crunch of them is perfect, and the side of marinara sauce it comes with has such great flavor with the seasonings in it. My boyfriend could die for the Fried Cheese Ravioli. Absolutely delicious! Every time we've been here, the wait staff have been so wonderful with making sure that we're taken care of. One thing that matters most to me when eating at a restaurant, is how well the waiter/waitress can take care of making sure our drinks don't stay empty for too long and we've never had this problem here. The food has always been hot when it is served, and we love coming here. Can't wait for our next date night!

Found a real gem n my travels home. Delicious Italian food, full bar, helpful friendly staff. And most importantly gave my dog water! Thank you Alina

Excellent food. Love the sliders and the pizza. Waitress was great. We got in before the crowd as that's always a bonus.

The pizza, the pasta, the meatballs, the garlic bread, the fries...AMAZING!!! Fresh ingredients and you will appreciate the love that goes into every dish, every appetizer!! The atmosphere is inviting, enjoyable, and clean. We loved our bench seating...not so close to others that we could hear other conversations. Our server, Javier, was kind, personable, and fun. This is REALLY GOOD food in downtown Merced, CA!!! As soon as your server greets you, order an appetizer of fries...you will not be disappointed!!!
