Restaurants in Carpinteria

“I ordered the margarita pizza extra crispy. It was very delicious. I wouldn't add any additional toppings. It was good on its own. The seasoned lemon potatoes were excellent. The service was awesome!”

“We love this place. The food and coffee are amazing!!!”

“Great lunch and very comfortable”

“The food was amazing as was the service. The patio seating was beautiful and dog friendly!! We will definitely be coming back on our next visit!”

“Good fresh food made from scratch. Fun specialty and import items. Lots of gluten free choices. The best cheesecake ever. This Chef gives his "thumbs up".”

“Absolutely delicious! Had the steak eggs Benedict. Liked it so much came back a second time and got the breakfast croissant.”

“Nice atmosphere, delicious food!”

“I really need to recommend Mollie's cooking. I've known her for over 20 years, and she truly is an exceptional Italian cook, more like a world-class chef. Over the years, I have eaten in a couple of her restaurants. The food was always amazing/exceptional. Her ability to create delicious sauces and elevate simple pasta dishes is wonderful. You should also try her incredible fish soup— not on the menu anymore, but if you happen to have any seafood, you could ask her to prepare it (but you need to call ahead); it's a real treat.

This newer, smaller restaurant has a more personal and unique atmosphere – it truly feels like you're dining right in Mollie's kitchen. but as such contributes to a truly wonderful and memorable dining experience.

While it's true that you need to stand in line to order, and the place is more like a deli than a traditional restaurant, the quality of the food Mollie serves makes it absolutely worthwhile. The menu might be smaller these days, but trust me, it's an experience you don't want to miss. I highly recommend treating yourself to a meal there!”

“LAOTHAI in Carpinteria, California, is a must-visit for authentic Thai cuisine. The yellow curry is a standout, rich and creamy with perfectly balanced spices that offer warmth without overpowering. Each bite of tender chicken in the delightful sauce is comforting.

Equally impressive is the pineapple fried rice, a colorful dish featuring sweet pineapple, crispy vegetables, and fluffy rice, served in a hollowed-out pineapple for an eye-catching presentation.

The service is attentive and friendly, making for a pleasant dining experience. If you’re in Carpinteria, don’t miss LaoThai for some of the best yellow curry and pineapple fried rice around!

“Yummy Yogurt offers a great selection of frozen yogurt flavors and toppings, making it a fun spot for a sweet treat. The pricing is reasonable at $0.89 per ounce, though it can add up quickly—I filled about half a cup, and it came to around $8. The staff was friendly, and the shop was clean and well-maintained, which added to the positive experience. If you're looking for a refreshing dessert with plenty of customization options, this is a solid choice!”

Place was spotless and mostly empty, prob because it was past lunch hour (3:20). Service was courteous and my order was taken quickly. Food was brought out hot.”

“Wow, just wow! This place is an absolute gem. Every dish is homemade, incredibly fresh, and bursting with flavor. The chile relleno was pure perfection—spicy, savory, and downright unforgettable.

“After going to this incredible Italian restaurant, I will never go anywhere else for Italian food. It’s magical! We always try to get a table on the Patio, it makes you feel like you’re in an enchanted chateau. We’ve tried many of the entrees, and although some are more enticing to us than others, none have disappointed! All the food is amazing. To top it all off, the staff is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and welcoming. If you’re looking for great food with a great staff, go to Gianfranco’s Trattoria!!!”

“We have been enjoying breakfast burritos from Reynaldo’s for about ten years now. We’ve always admired their wedding cake display, and said when we got married we’d get our cake from them.
