Our first time here and we’re locals! Should have come sooner. Decor is lovely and our server, Megan, was excellent. The Caesar salad was excellent and plenty to share, Especially if you’re getting a pasta in an entrée. We had the amazing lasagna and I had the fettuccine. Both were superb and the lasagna was excellent with the variety of beef. The wine list is extensive and well put together. Terrific dinner with only one tiny caveat that it can be a tiny bit loud if there are large tables, but not to override the delicious food. Can’t wait to return

Me and my friends felt very unwelcomed we are people of color and everyone at the restaurant just stoped talking as soon as we walked in and just started staring, no hosts available at the front entrance and we waited for a while and eventually we had to leave because no one ended up coming.

A very nice place where we could talk to each other and enjoy delicious food. The service was very good and they were very attentive. Definitely would come again!

Never had a chance of finding a parking spot any where close to the restaraunt. What a tremendous disappointment. What the shell is Santa Barbara doing?

I wouldn't recommend dining here. My boyfriend and I went for dinner last Sunday, and from the moment we arrived, the experience was uncomfortable. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty (only two tables occupied), no one greeted us or acknowledged our presence. The server--who l believe may be the owner--made eye contact with us but didn't say a word. I had to grab a menu myself and approach them to ask if they were open and whether we should seat ourselves. We tried to stay positive and seated ourselves, but the service never improved. It felt like we were being deliberately ignored. What made the situation worse was witnessing how differently other customers (specifically white patrons) were treated. The same server who barely acknowledged us was suddenly warm, welcoming, and quick to assist them as they walked in. The food was okay, but the service and the clear display of bias overshadowed everything. The microaggressions and lack of basic hospitality made us so uncomfortable that we skipped dessert just to leave sooner.
Santa Barbara has many excellent Italian restaurants--this, unfortunately, isn't one of them. If you value respectful service and a welcoming atmosphere, I suggest going elsewhere.

Ordered the frascati pasta with garlic butter sauce and got straight boiled pasta with nothing on it with shrimps. Figure it out. You can't send orders lacking the entire sauce. Wasn't busy. Earned your star, do better.
Delicious authentic Italian food. Charming atmosphere and great service.

Very happy to have stumbled across this restaurant on our adventure up the coast. Been watching a lot sopranos lately so needed that gobbagoo. My girlfriend got the shrimp pasta with white sauce which was great. My traditional spaghetti was really good and exactly what I needed. All in all, very pleased. Also the wrapped prawns were so worth it. Try it. The staff was very friendly

Food was really bad. Tiny portions, food was worse than something that I could make at home. Service was meh, was not served bread til after our food was already out. Both me and my gf has stomach aches after dinner. Stay away.
