Went for Christmas Eve and hadn't been there for a while. Maybe a combination of the company I was with and the occasion contributed to the great night, so I'm going back to try on a more routine night but the pasta we shared was outstanding, the hall chicken was perfectly cooked and accompanied by a wonderful sauce, and the bartender made a phenomenal Old Fashioned. Cheers to chef and staff!
Every time we go to Santa Barbara we stop at this restaurant. The food is very good and they always treat us very nice. The place itself feels very intimate. Please keep up the good work. Thanks
High prices don't usually mean high quality food, but in this case, the food is amazing. It's a small restaurant, the acoustics make it loud if a rowdy group comes in. Service is great, food is delicious - top notch experience!
One of the best Italian restaurants we've been to in a long time. We enjoyed the roasted eggplant appetizer and kept on raving about the clam with spaghettini noodles. I saved this place on google maps to make sure we come back again.
Most excellent Veal Panini! Great servicevery attentive. Fairly priced.
Delicious! Everything I tasted was yummy. The sauce on the ravioli, oh my gosh. They brought out cake for my boyfriend's birthday, which was nice. Only complaint is that it was a little dark and pricy
Love the casual yet clean atmosphere but most importantly, the FOOD IS DELICIOUS! Every dish we ordered was AMAZING! The salad, the pastas and the beets were all simple yet fresh and yummy. I will be back again on the future for lunch.
Two thumbs down! I ordered a pizza. The pizza arrived, but the crust was raw. They said they could bake it for 2nd time. Cooked 2nd time = no good. Since I was very hungry, I asked them please do it right to my 2nd pizza order. The second pizza arrived. It didn't look a pizza. It looked like a shoe sloe. They didn't know how to make an Italian pizza. It looked like they were training new cooks.
My boss took me here while in SB. Great atmosphere, food and service. Nice and quiet. Great wine selection. Dessert was also very good. Not a big place so I would suggest reservations.
I made reservations at this restaurant for a party of 7. After waiting 30minutes the hostess told us that they couldn't accommodate us. As we were in SB for the weekend, the hostess offered to accommodate us the following evening. The hostess is sweet but the owner clearly has other intent.and it is not his customer's best interest at heart. Too many reservations for this small reservation. So listen to this.
They offered to make reservations for us at the restaurant the next night. Because we had read good reviews on the restaurant, we accepted.
Unbelievable. They did the same thing to us the next night. I wouldn't mind if this happened to me alone. Or when I'm with my wife alone. But to have kids wait and wait and wait because the owner decided to overbook is not acceptable. Needless to say I don't think very highly of opportunists.
Cozy vibe. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Not a huge menu, but enough to choose from. The food taste good, just above average American Italian. It was not busy at 5pm on a Saturday, it did get busier as the evening progressed.
