About L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele Taverna and Cafe - Santa Barbara

L'Antica serves authentic Italian food made with high-quality ingredients. The pizza crust is a delicacy, and the margarita pizza is a highlight. The restaurant is a cool, old Italian spot in Santa Barbara, offering a tight menu of drinks and food that are perfectly freshly prepared and exactly as advertised. Friendly staff, like Frankie, provide calm and pleasant service, always checking in and ready to answer questions. They are also very helpful and accommodating, especially when it comes to dietary needs. The piping hot pizzas are a delight, with thin crusts and homemade sauce cooked in a wood-burning oven, making it one of the best pizzas many have ever had, even compared to Italy. The menu also includes Italian classics like Milanese, salads, meatballs, pasta, and gelato, which kids love. While the restaurant sometimes runs out of items like red wine, beer, and fruit juices, the meals more than make up for any shortcomings, offering a refreshing and satisfying dining experience.
