Santa Barbara Italian Cafe

Absolutely amazing! The Penne pesto and chicken Alfredo with blackened chicken were both wins! The garlic bread is delicious and the service was great. Portions are huge so leftovers are a plus.

I happened to be in the area driving around to different stores looking to buy a used vacuum cleaner. Went to two stores couldn't find anything by the time I got to the third store finally found something. At this point I had a angry little lady in my car who is getting ready to start her period and was not in the best mood and all she wanted was some Alfredo and a vacuum cleaner. Me panicking ! decide to look up local Italian restaurants in the area and happen to stumble upon this gem. I walk inside and ordered the Alfredo and pasta carbonara needless to say angry girl in the car was no longer angry and was very satisfied. Pasta was delicious two thumbs up five stars.

Delishious, you get salad and bread with seasoned olive oil while you wait for your dinner. You get enough to take some home. Price isn't bad

I order take out for the first time at this restaurant without looking at any reviews, and this place did not disappoint. Everything I ordered was fresh and tasted fantastic. In my opinion, one of the best Italian restaurants on this side of town. Will return soon with high expectations!

I absolutely enjoy this place! The food is rich in flavor, and the team is wonderfully welcoming. The serving size was so generous that I made three satisfying meals out of a single order. Perfect for sharing too. I’m already eager to return and finally taste their cake!

I did take out. Face it Houston is not a mecca of Italian Food. I am from St Louis which has some of the best. However, this place has great food. The marinara is exceptional. I will be going back. Take a Tex-Mex Break and check this place out.

Horrible service. We walked in and sat ourselves. After 10 minutes of waiting we left because no one greeted us or even asked to take our drink order. It was not busy at all. Customer service needs to be addressed.

Absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants in the Greater Houston Area. Huge portions, consistent taste, and the flavor is on point. They are usually really busy, so please be patient with the servers who are doing their best. I love coming here because it feels cozy, inviting, and authentic.

Stopped in there to see what it was and the server Benjamin was amazing and helpful. We tried the pineapple carrot cake and it was delicious and I'm not a carrot cake fan. The restaurant was also clean and very presentable
