The Most Anticipated Santa Barbara Restaurant Openings for 2025 | Eater LA

"Former Lonely Oyster chef Dom Crisp and partner Raj Nallapothola describe it as "an unapologetically Basque restaurant for locals" focused on Crisp’s obsession with local seafood and his charcoal wood-fired imported Josper oven from Spain. The all-day menu is expected to include smoked local mussels, fish caught from the adjacent Channel Islands, and crowd-pleasing favorites from Crisp’s long career. The partners are revamping the former Trattoria Vittoria (which used to be Pasqual’s); the bar will have a full liquor license and feature throwbacks from Crisp’s shuttered Pasadena restaurant, Saso. Projected opening: Early June." - Mona Holmes
