Food was excellent and service was great. It's so good that celebrities eat there...can't give names. 😋

An old classic that is showing signs of slipping. Still a pleasant place to eat with very solid wine list. But pasta a bit gummy and chicken dish overcooked. And the prices....

Ca' Dario was a delightful Italian restaurant. I highly recommend the thinly sliced veal with tonnoto sauce, YUMMY! The pastas we cooked to a perfect al dente and the fish was divine. Excellent wine list. Great service. if you're looking for a small intimate place for date night, this is the place!

Lovely food, the services was polite and attentive. Atmosphere a little somber, but overall very good

We sometimes don't go to Ca Dario because of the noise level. But this time, we were going early before the theater and kept our fingers crossed. We were lucky and the noise level was not too bad this time! The food, as always, was wonderful. Service, given that we told them we were going to a play, was quite slow in the beginning. They had seven staff people behind the bar yet no one could bother to come over and see us! Eventually they got the point and after that, our service was fine. It's always difficult for a customer to say Cevin staff doing absolutely nothing and yet they can't get service! Something for the restaurant management to look into.

Absolutely the best meal I've had in Santa Barbara. Possibly anywhere. We ordered the Brown butter ravioli, halibut, steak with beans and panna cotta. So delicious. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Service was also amazing. Seating is cozy, but it wasn't bad. 10/10 recommend!!

Food was excellent. Service was very good. Some questions regarding our entrees, however, everything came out perfect, hot and all in all a wonderful evening

The menu is very complete and all the entrees and appetizers were excellent. The service was outstanding and very quick. It is a small, intimate restaurant that is consistently excellent.

We went here for a wedding reception and it was delicious!! My husband had the bolognese which was so flavorful and a large portion! I had the chicken with the arugula on too which was also so flavorful! I couldn’t get enough! Service was great for serving so many at once! Would def return!

Delicious Italian food with refined flavors. In addition to pasta, meat dishes and fish dishes, there are also the necessary vegetarian options. For lovers of a good piece of meat, the Bistecca con funghi porcini is highly recommended. Nice atmosphere.

Appetizers had a sour taste. Dinner was not as we would have expected. The waiter never checked on us probably for obvious reasons. We've been there often but this was our last visit.

Charming atmosphere. Excellent menu. Fish cooked perfectly. Carefully made salads and desserts too. This place really cares about its product. Just as good as Tre Lune and easier to get a teservation

Last nights food was very tasty as we remembered it to be years ago. We had fresh wild salmon and a pasta with their house Ca Dario salad and tiramisu for dessert. Glad we had reservations for 2 as there was a line out the door waiting for a table. Service was good. A coupe big parties celebrating birthdays and it was a little loud inside at 7:30pm. Will definitely go back again.
