My sister and I dined at this restaurant twice, and both experiences were fantastic. We had the pleasure of being served by the same waitress, Laura, who is expecting a baby boy in just 12 weeks. She was incredibly sweet! During our second visit, we were the last customers there, and she encouraged us to take our time. I highly recommend this restaurant—the pasta with vodka sauce is simply amazing! View all feedback.

Food was good and wasn’t pricey. Service was okay. They were busy though and still handled the guests waiting well. There is only one restroom located in a mysterious spot and you would see cooks in the kitchen every time you go. Everybody we saw today walked past it into the dark scary alleyway.

I can't believe I have not reviewed this place. It's the best Italian food in Santa Barbara. Insalata del Buongustaio and Ravioli Zuccotto with a scoop of pistachio gelato to finish is the perfect meal. So nice to be able to enjoy the beautiful weather by eating outside. Not worth losing a star over but service can be a bit hit or miss since it's small and popular so there sometimes things get missed, but the staff is good about correcting any mistakes. Another thing I really love about this place is getting food to go. It's perfect to be on the way home from work, call in an order zoom by pick it up and be home and eating 10 minutes later like I just made an Italian feast for 7.
Haven’t been here for along time and decided to go for dinner. Very slow service, high prices, and poor quality, Also, why is every glass of wine the same price of $15? I haven’t see that before. There are many better Italian restaurants in SB.
We went for lunch to celebrate a friend 's birthday. Meal was lovely, as usual. Service was particularly good this day. BUT, and this is a huge BUT, they are now adding a 'hidden ' charge of 3% for the 'convenience ' of using a credit card!!!!! They don 't tell you about this unless you ask why the VISA bill is higher than the actual bill. Then they point it out. Given that their prices have gone up by 30-40% over the last two years, this is pretty much a 'no-go ' place for me now. It 's a shame, because it is consistently good, but I cannot sustain this type of price increase when no one else is doing it. Very sorry to say so-long to one of my favorite restaurants.
