On today’s Travel Paso Spotlight, we had the pleasure of chatting with Carole MacDonald, the visionary behind some of Paso Robles’ most beloved dining experiences. Carole is the proprietor, along with her husband and Chef Santos MacDonal, of the iconic Il Cortile, a restaurant that has become a staple in Paso’s culinary scene, offering an authentic taste of Italy right in the heart of wine country. But Carole and Santos have another dining hotspot up their sleeve. They recently opened Parchetto, a fresh and exciting new dining spot that promises to bring even more flavor to Paso.
