Destino's - Pizza Near Me - Merced, California

Pizza and coconut shrimp were delicious and absolutely love the idea that my fur babies are allowed to be with us in the outdoor patio. Friendly atmosphere read more

Yesterday I went to Destinos for the first time. I sat upstairs and had a great view of Main Street. The staff was great as was the food. I definitely can't wait to go back. I had been hesitant because some of the reviews on here but I'm glad I went. The food was amazing. Also not pictured we had the fried ravioli and it was the best! All the food was 10/10. Definitely give this place a shot if you haven't. They have indoor seating upstairs and downstairs, bar seating and outdoor patio seating. read more

I love coming here for the pizza. Great size, price, and bomb!!!! Ambiance and service a good too! This is one of Merced best restaurants

The Mama Mai pizza is a hot mess in a good way with its spicy taste and gooey cheese. The first bite is a tease and the second pulls you into its magic. After the third forget it you lost your diet and will never recover. The spaghetti squash adds a shuttle sweetness that can only be described as delightful. The tomato sauce layered on top cheese and basil is elegance in every bite. The wonderful staff and great prices make this my go to place in Merced. Don't just drive by - stop in and say hi. read more

Amazing food and great costumer service! I come from out of town just to have their homemade food!

Hubby and I enjoyed your outdoor dining this afternoon. Love the addition of the misters when it's 100+ in July. Everything looked so good we over ordered. Soup, salad, meatball sandwich, ice cold beer and a lemon drop!! Keep up the delicious food and thank you to your wonderful waitress! read more

Destino's - Dinner on a Friday night!! - Pizza Near Me - Merced, California

Destino's is a good place to eat. I typically order their lasagna. We usually end up in a big group when we go. The service is good upstairs we usually, unintentionally get a bit noisy. Let's just face it, it's getting expensive everywhere to eat out.... read more

The pizza is amazing ! As well as their cocktails! Their out door seating is very nice and relaxing! Our waitress was very polite and always smiling. Great experience overall. I will be back! read more

We had beautiful time and delicious appetizers with a bottle of red wine. There were very nice and friendly staffs. read more

The service was very slow. Drinks from the bar took at least 30 minutes. Was told that the server couldn't take them because she was underage, so we went and got them ourselves. Took at least 45 minutes to get our food and then they forgot a salad and the ordered bread. Told server separate tags and she forgot. so, trying to separate them afterwards was a mess!! Ended up separating some and then letting one couple pay for the rest. Food was ok tasting, but expensive for what you got!!! They close at 7:30. Two people went out to smoke at 7:20 and they locked them out and had to call us to be let back in. Crappy bday celebration. read more

Great tasting pasta in the area. Service is fast and friendly. Perfect date night spot!

What a delight to find this restaurant in downtown Merced. Excellent food and service. I had the Chicken Parmesan and it was amazing.

This place has the best shrimp scampi linguine and appetizers in town. It was a chill environment but service was a bit slow.

Very very good. Way better than expected. Amazing light and crunchy dough, white sauce= oh my gosh. Delish!

If I could give ten stars, I would. Aside from having the best chicken parm I've ever tasted, it is always consistent each and every time. The portion is huge - easily two meals, possibly three. The staff is warm and friendly. Yes, it can get loud so maybe not the place for a quiet meal. The owners are hard-working, caring and a really important part of this community. I always feel content, cared for and very full after a visit here. read more

Got the Destino's Special. The sandwich had a decent amount of meat and I enjoyed the bread. It's crispy on the outside but soft inside. You didn't have to break your jaw to eat it. It did feel a bit plain though. I think it had Mayo and some onions in it. The fries were really good & so was the service! read more

Best Cioppino and Meatball Sandwich around!! Staff is always professional and friendly!!! read more

Has some of the best pizza I've had in a long time I highly recommend it great service and great people working here read more

I just like to say this is one of the best restaurants I have visited. The service, the quality of the food, quantity, and awesome atmosphere, makes this restaurant by far the number one in my book. Thank you very much Destinos! We will see you again soon, hopefully this time I can get some cioppino! read more

The portion sizes were very generous. The atmosphere was laid back, and the service was good. They ran out of a few things that I would have liked to try, but maybe next time. read more

Wonderful atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. I love the clam chowder and the pizza has a great crisp to it. Highly recommend!

I love this place, the vibe, location, food and especially the owners...awesome everything!! Always great service!

The waitress was very sweet and worked hard keeping up with so many people. My husband and I both had the lunch special with a salad and half sandwich. I tried the roast beef sandwich toasted with an jus sauce and it was amazing!!!! My husband had the salad and the meatball sandwich. He wasn't impressed as it was a large sub sandwich bread with two meatballs. read more

TL;DR: Good quality food for the down town area. Shrimp scampi pasta was tasty. The dish had 9 large/jumbo shrimp, and you can change the sauce for a little extra. I tried the white sauce. I liked the sauce, it was creamy, but I felt it could be tastier. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and had a nice lemon garlic seasoning. The pasta came with 2 pieces of garlic bread. You can add a site salad for $3. The side caeser was 2nd visit I tried happy hour. The sliders are $2 and you have a choice of meatball or sausage. I chose meatball. On it was a little sauce, provalone cheese, and onion. The coconut shrimp were tasty the honey goes well with the crunch coconut batter. The bread app was okay, I wish the bread had cheese or a little more sauce. Service: Service was quick and friendly. Other things to note: There's a full bar. Happy hour is from 3pm-6pm. They have Monday and Tuesday specials. read more

This place is under a new name Destino's. I love their gluten free pizza. The prices are reasonable and the calamari and coconut shrimp are also really good as well. The drinks are okay. I loved the lemon drop. The mojito was another story, it was plain club soda with old limes. The staff were all nice. But when it's busy it is very hard for one person to manage everyone. It's also really hot inside the place. They have fans and I don't think the ac works at all downstairs. The place is nice and fun to meet with friends. read more

Been a while but thought we would try again, Food was ok and very over priced for what we received. Menu is half the size it was. Service was bad and had to wait for the bartender to take our order at a table. Wait staff where to busy playing on there phones and chatting with each other. Sorry but we won't be back. read more

Not bad. They completely missed serving us our appetizers but I think they were short staffed. So considering that they did a pretty good job. I ordered a seafood dish and I was pleasantly surprised it was cooked really well. The drinks were also good. Not too sweet. Good atmosphere. We were a table of four and everyone was satisfied with their dishes. Would come again. read more

Came in on a Friday they let us know we had to wait 35 minutes but called us in 10. Which would have been great if we had not run across to get a drink. Our servers were great no complaints. They recommended the sausage soup ( so good) . Calamari app was delicious. Gave them a 3 due to their specialty plate (steak) it was not great for 33 dollars. It was but and tasteless so that was disappointing. Other than that everything was great. Service was 5. read more

My son and I ate at Destinos and as usual did not disappoint! Yummy food and beverages. Lots to pick from and hard to decide because all good. We both went for pasta dishes! Ravioli appetizer was great also! read more

The food was fantastic as was the company at Supper. The wait staffing attitude threw a wet blanket on a lovely meal. At 7:30 pm and 106 with our booth adjacent to the courtyard entrance the doors were left wide open the first 15 minutes of our stay. Spoke with one server who ignored our discomfort stating the staff was bringing in chairs from the courtyard and another 5-6 minutes passed before asking another staff member to please close the doors. Soups and salad were brought after the meals. Is this the new normal? Before leaving, I used the ladies room to find seats covered in bleach. When speaking to staff, the response was,"Oh, I apologize." In a nutshell, their staff seemed more concerned about getting everything closed for the day rather than having patrons return another time. read more

Good food and loved sitting on the patio but a 3% credit card processing fee? Come on, that's petty.

Bar tenders need to pay attention to their surroundings take care of the bar patrons first instead of walking around. Food was average read more

This is my first time visiting this establishment I wasn't very impressed. The waitresses and waiters seem to be preoccupied by talking I asked for extra salad dressing did not received it never was offered a refill on my drink and had to wait to receive a to go box and receive my bill. read more

I have come here many times over the past years but tonight a waitress with dark blonde hair snapped at my 3 young children twice. My kids are not bad mannered and we're not acting up. It's a busy Friday night and we were not rude because of the delayed wait time. This waitress has a horrible attitude and apparently thinks it's fine to tell at a 3, 6 and 8 year old because they happen to be standing by our table in her way. read more

Pizza GREAT! Service GREAT! Drinks Great! Garlic fries are probably one of the best I've ever had! The best place on main st. to eat, only complaint the hours! Wish they were open later read more

Went in 2 hrs before closing. They were pretty busy. We were seated upstairs. Server named Fabian. Garlic bread was amazing, Pizza came out fresh and crispy, shrimp scampi was great. Our server checked up on us occasionally. Beer on tap excellent. read more

Moved back to Merced after 8 years and was excited to try this place because I was a big fan of Pinocchio's. I don't know who the previous owners sold the business too but the over all quality of the restaurant just went down hill. Very cheap and biker bar vibe to it. Prices went up just for the quality of the food to go down.. saw that someone previously noticed that there was no real chef on duty and it shows. Costco pizza and food has better quality to it than what this restaurant is serving. read more

Went here yesterday for dinner. Do not get the spaghetti. Taste like hunts $1 can of spaghetti sauce & it was watery. I took it home and added some seasoning to it. It made it a little better but I was still very disappointed. My husband got chicken parmigiana and it was also watery. He did mention it to the waiter and he gave us a discount and we just added the discount to his tip. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because he was very polite, understanding & wanted to make it right. I think the staff at Destinos in Merced is wonderful! But they should definitely drain their pasta a little more. read more
