Convivo Restaurant & Bar

Atmosphere on patio is superb. Unique menu. Not a large wine list but thoughtfully curated.

Meh food. Well described in other reviews as bland. The best items were the focaccia and the Sangiovese by the glass. The bolognese was inept, flavorless...this is a staple item that is prepared using g simple ingredients, but time is one if them, and I'd wager that they do not spend seven hours in making it. I had the ricotta, lemon and seafood filled tortelloni (or whatever they call it), and it too was disappointing. I knew this coming in to my experience, and should've opted to wait in a queue at a competitor restaurant rather than making these last second reservations.

Always enjoy going to Convivo. They have such a wonderful mix of flavors in their dishes and they are unique to Convivo. We usually reserve the patio as the views and weather are great. Tonight was unusually noisy with a large group of motorcycles riding back and forth on Cabrillo. Otherwise, it is normally quiet outside.

We had a wonderful meal. We shared the Mercato Salad, the prawns and a pizza with a lovely Chianti. We sat outside and it was perfect

Best menu....very original....consistantly the best......had the Pork BLT...incredibly great.....

Service was wonderful, food was nicely done and presented. Very nice place! we loved the bar service, and the table side service was solid as well. we will be back, thank you for a great two visits!

Services was great! We are local and went for our anniversary, staff treated us special and the setting was lovely! Food was great and exceeded expectations! Highly recommend!!!

I brought my 93 year-old neighbor and I was struck by how kind and considerate all the staff (including the car valet's) were.

Fabulous find and the staff were very pleasant! The food was amazing, wine was perfect and the setting and temperature on the patio was perfect.

Definitely my first choice in Santa Barbara. My 5th or 6th dinner there and it just never disappoints. Unique and very tasty dishes to choose from. Love it there!

Love the peach and prosciutto pizza on the summer menu. Appetizers are good: unusual chicken liver toast, rich enough to share. Patio is delightful, with ocean breeze and shade structure. Service was slow, both to place order and pay bill, so we almost missed our curtain, although we had reminded staff of that deadline several times.

Loved the experience have been here twice and received excellent service both times lovely stafff!

Wonderful restaurant, fantastic food and atmosphere. Best during less busy hours, as it is near so many tourist attractions.

We celebrate our wedding anniversary here every year, but this year the staff made us feel extra-special! The food was outstanding. The grilled seafood medley was so good! Can't wait to return!

Excellent dinner and service!
