An employee at Giuseppe’s in Pismo Beach allegedly killed the restaurant’s bartender on Wednesday.

Shortly after 9 p.m., an employee named Andrew allegedly stabbed a bartender named Johnny on the 1200 block of Price Street, about a four minute walk from the restaurant. Johnny died at the scene.

Andrew then drove southbound on Highway 101 towards Ventura County, where he attempted suicide. Andrew survived. He is recovering at a hospital, and expected to be arrested for murder after he is released.

Even so, one of my favorite places to eat. The acting out is likely and internal personal issue. I will continue eat at the local Giuseppe’s in SLO, close to home, or at Pismo if there at dinner time. We are lucky to have their great service.

Wow, look at the Facebook post on this article. There are a bunch of alleged close friends and family members of both the alleged murderer and Johnny claiming the story is completely made up and asking Facebook to take it down. Just ask around, a high level employee at the restaurant is in a hospital with Pismo Beach officers keeping an eye on him because he admitted to killing his friend, the bartender. My question is why are their friends lying. Do they have something to hide, like heavy drug use. I bet there is a lot more to this story.
