What a splendid place! Been her for about 10 times over the years and still LOVE it. The most authentic Italian food in Santa Barbara ( I am from Munich, Germany, so I can tell…)
Great service, best wine (Nero Tavola), best friends and company. What do you want more?

This place is so disgusting I’m sorry it was unbelievable that anyone actually likes the food. Perhaps it may have been good once many many years ago. The pasta is all obviously not fresh as they say it is. There are actually roaches crawling up and down the walls. I feel bad writing this review however I’ve never had a worse experience I felt bad for the servers as they obviously know the food isn’t great however they attend the best they can 🤷🏻♀️. Bread was cold and extremely old it crumbled in your hands the fresh vegetables were the best and actually seasoned however I’m guessing it’s because they came from a can. Don’t believe the 5 star reviews these people obviously burned off their taste buds years ago.

If you love bland Italian food, this might be the place for you. We never actually had a server, just the poor hostess. The bread belongs in a 14th century prison, the lasagna was marginally better than microwaved Russell Stovers, and the gnocchi tasted like flour with the essence of flavor. This is such a strange atmosphere, the staff was grumbling about people still eating an hour before they closed. Don’t listen to the 5 star reviews, just take your family to Olive Garden.
