Bravo. This place is spectacular. The service was wonderful. The restaurant crowded but not loud. Decor is cozy. The food and drinks are to die for! Dom is a tour de force. I’m thrilled he landed in Santa Barbara!
This experience started with a warm and welcoming atmosphere and was followed up with the best food and drink. Everything we had was delicious. I’m GF and EF and the staff was super knowledgeable about the menu and any cross contamination etc. As a person with allergies I’m super appreciative of the extra care put into our meal and experience. 10/10 recommend Doms!
The best food I’ve had in a really long time. The service was professional but not pretentious. I loved the atmosphere. But more important, not a single disappointing bite.

Dom’s Taverna Santa Barbara is a gem of a restaurant with amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Every ingredient in each dish is thoughtfully selected, and the hospitality makes guests feel so happy and fulfilled. The beef tartare with roe and truffle chips is melt in your mouth perfect, and the mushroom dish is cooked to perfection with a super tasty sauce. The fettuccine seafood pasta is just as good every time, and the basque cheesecake topped with passion fruit is the best—so soft yet dense. The wine selection is insanely well curated, and the cocktails are great, with their own syrups. The pea and artichoke pasta and steak frites are super tasty and filling. The atmosphere is bright, fresh, and very open, with cute lighting and great music. The service is friendly and timely, and the bartender knows how to make cocktails. The food is excellent, though portions are very small given the price point, and it can be a bit pricey for the amount of food. The crudo, pasta, papas, and drinks are fresh and full of flavor. Prices are comparable with most upscale restaurants in Santa Barbara. It is a great spot for a good cocktail and a go-to date spot for fresh seafood. Highly recommend for a date night or get-together with someone special.
