Olio e Limone Ristorante

Overall good. We didn't love our table location, which was near an oddly placed bathroom door.

We always enjoy a meal at Olio. And it's best when we have the most magnificent server in town, Johnny. We will be back again and again.

Food was great. Not enough servers, wait time was long. Drink never came. Waited for check, waited for water refill, waited for dessert menu, waited for credit card on bill.

Olio is always busy when there's a concert in town but they always manage to provide a rewarding dining experience. One flaw in service that would greatly help the servers,too, is have a host or hostess posted during the crush times. The servers step up when they can but mostly people are left standing by the door, painfully aware no one is coming to acknowledge them nor seat them. Otherwise the food, service & ambience are well above average.

This may be the best Italian food in Santa Barbara! Excellent, friendly service. A wonderful experience; we will be back! Craig

On the recommendation of a friend we have now dined here twice (years apart). It is a wonderful spot - the food is delicious, atmosphere elegant, service top notch. We continue to pass this name along to anyone traveling to SB. A perfect place for a perfect meal!

Salmon was good. Problem was it gave me food poisoning.

Wonderful, delicious food and excellent service. Quiet ambiance and easy to have conversations. I happily bring friends here and they are always impressed with everything about the restaurant. All my Italian friends love this restaurant the most!

We love all 3 of restaurants!!! They all have a different vibe...but amazing food. Wonderful Italian food...family favorite!

The food is always good! I usually order the fish and I'm always very happy that it taste really fresh cooked perfectly and never salty, which I cannot stand when restaurants put too much salt on food to add flavor when in fact, it just destroys food from tasting fresh. Also, the soups are really good and I like that there's not heavy cream and again are really pure in their flavor.

Olio never disappoints. Pasta is delicious. Dessert is outstanding and service is welcoming and attentive. Always visit whenever we are in Santa Barbara!

Olio E Limone consistently delivers delicious, fresh Italian food just like my Nona would make...but better! I love all the pastas especially the Pumpkin Raviolis! The service is superb! Our waiter, Pino, and table runner Juan are fantastic! A great dressing makes a salad and the pear gorgonzola salad and string bean salad with heirloom tomatoes and red onion is simple and flavorful! Save room for dessert because the pear dessert with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce is so yummy!

We were there ignored from 6:20- 6:40. Finally got our order barely in time for 7:30 show. We were told it was because we came in late! Tables around us who came in same time were served quickly. Will never go back.

It felt like there wasn't a manager on duty. This was a slow night and the service was still bad.

Food was great, service was just so so. Our waiter had too many tables. We saw many diners served before us, despite the fact that we were seated and ordered before they did. We finally had to ask a busboy where was our food. He went into the kitchen and brought it out. Had to flag down another waiter ( not ours who was nowhere to be seen and never came back to check on us) to take our dessert order. We might not return.
