Ca'Dario Goleta

This was our second visit for Dinner…and we can’t wait for dinner three. Their standard menu includes a plethora of classic Italian dishes (some with a twist) and a generous selection of specials listed on a second menu all served up by a seasoned and friendly staff. No disappointments!

Been here several times. Some dishes and desserts are delicious. Although there are constant flies almost every time I have been here. The last time was intense and flies landed on my food. Change seats didn’t work. The waitress said I could get a substitute new dish but other than this, there is nothing they can do—because they can’t close the door. I couldn’t enjoy my meal because I need to keep waving the flies away.

Had two Excellent dinners on separate occasions: selecting the Tuesday special lasagna and the regularly available ravioli on Sunday. Both were very delicious, but the ravioli was prepared with a brown butter sauce, which was unique and outstanding! Great service was provided by the manager, Scott. Thank you!

My partner and I came here last night for his birthday, and our waitress was Lauren who did such an amazing job making our dinner very special for the occasion. She was also knowledgeable and helpful with helping me decide between a few different entrees I was considering. She’s an absolute gem, and so pleasant and friendly. The food was very good too, we ate almost every bite. 10/10 would totally recommend!

Came to visit and came across this restaurant, very nice atmosphere great service and great food. We tried 3 different pastas all 3 very delicious. Scott was out server ,he was very attentive and friendly. Price range was fair .

Had an amazing dinner and dessert with my daughter tonight. Osso bucco, ravioli, tiramisu, cannoli. Loved it

I have tried to support this place as much as I can over the years, because we need some good restaurants on this side of town. The food IS consistently good here. But I have had it with the greediness! I ordered their Tortellacci pasta tonight 'to go' for dinner, and this is what I got. I put my hand in this picture for size reference. And my hands are quite small! This was a TINY leftovers size tin that was only about a QUARTER full. It is ridiculous to pay $30 for an entree, and to still be super hungry after eating it. That's the bottom line here. It took me about 5 minutes to eat this little bit of pasta (the tiny bites of ham seem like just a garnish), and no bread or anything came with this meal. (It's actually a huge stretch to call this a meal.) I know prices are high everywhere, but $30 for an appetizer size amount of PASTA is way over the top. And I am still so hungry. You may have just lost a loyal customer for good

Solid Italian Food. ☛Large portions, can definitely share many of the items. ☛Good wine list. Pricey but solid. ☛Nice setting, especially love the patio! ☛Bread service is nice with olive oil, basalmic, and fresh shredded cheese. ☛Servers were not as attentive as one would expect (was not busy when we were there) with the exception of bussing staff who rocked it. ☛Plenty of free parking in lot.

My go-to pizza place. Someday I'll actually order something else. But for now, I enjoy their pizzas very much. Service is great.

We came here for dinner while on a weekend away in Goleta. We were very happy with the service and the restaurant is a nice cute somewhat laid back place to get good Italian food. The food overall was good and we would come back but there were a few small things that could be improved. My wife got the Fusilli Tartufati and this was delicious definitely the best of the two dishes we got. I got the Spaghetti Alle Vonge and enjoyed it quite a bit. However it was a bit spicier than I anticipated and there was just a bit too much garlic in my opinion. I'd still get the dish again but maybe ask for a bit less garlic. For drinks I had a glass of white wine that the server recommended and liked it quite a bit. My wife got her favorite cocktail an aperol spritz but it was made with lemon which isn't usual and they made it not very good unfortunately. For desert we got the Tiramisu and it was delicious! All the food was very fresh and tasty we would definitely come back if we're in town again.

Food was amazing!! I've never been to a restaurant that had carbonara pizza and I was very satisfied with the taste and presentation. This place is very big and has a nice outdoor seating area with heating lamps. The servers were super nice and attentive and the food came so fast. I definitely recommend this place if you're craving good Italian food!

Once again, Ca'Dario Goleta has done an amazing job with their special occasion dining. We had the pleasure of having our Christmas Eve Dinner here, and even as a large family group, they were very accomodating and their service was seamless. Thank you to our server Marina who was spot-on with food suggestions, and she made sure we all were happy during this special night. Her support staff was also very friendly and helpful. I settled in to my favorite dishes: Salmon Marinato, Frittura Mista, Ziti Alla Puttanesca, and Pappardelle alla Boscaiola, and was excited to share them with the table. And their Italian wine selections have always been perfect for pairing. Looking forward to many more dining adventures here.

Ca Dario is a hidden gem in Goleta. Even as local, we forget sometimes it's there because it's a hidden place. However, it's is a place worth dining. The dishes are what you'd expect from some fine dining places but definitely with casual environment and consistently friendly staff. Their branzino which is often hard to find is a favorite. Their risotto and lasagna are really, really good. The portions are worth the price as well. Actually, this is one of the places where the UCSB bring their campus guests so that should tell you something about the quality and reputation. I highly recommend this place!

The food and service were great, but my margherita pizza had barely any basil on it. I asked for more, and was promptly delivered more. I noticed when I got home that I was charged $1 for the basil, which I wouldn't have had to ask for in the first place if there was an appropriate amount on the pizza. If I am paying $70 for my meal I shouldn't have to pay $1 for something that should have been part of the meal

The bread, the food, the ambience, and the service was a 10/10. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't miss the sauciness that I'm used to with this dish elsewhere. Instead, there is a butter and flavor forward approach which makes the reheatability perfect. I only gave 4/5 stars bc the portions are small for the price ($23 for my dish) which I had to force myself not to finish so I could try it when it's cold and for extra bread, it's a $2.50 charge (they started us off with 4 pieces). All in all, do come here if you're craving authentic Italian food in Santa Barbara.

Could have EASILY been 5 stars. Gonna bash a manager. Just keep reading... But first! I would like to say the whole experience here in general (up until incoming bash)was top-notch. I went on a random Tuesday night with my 8 year old. The service and attention she personally received were kind and very much appreciated. Sometimes, it's hard to find nicer places that treat kids like they aren't just appendage of their parents. The food was amazing. We ordered the quail and house soup. It all started going a little sideways with dessert. I will say the lava cake was delicious, but we ordered it specifically for the lava appeal. Kid was so full at that point and wasn't even pushing for dessert. She was going to pass on anything more altogether until the lava cake was mentioned, so we went for it. Upon cutting into it to reveal the gooey molten center, we were met with a very moist, but a very much solid, inside. Kid was disappointed. I got our servers' attention the next time she walked by(made sure we didn't eat the dessert aside from the initial taste test) and politely explained the situation. She was great and took our plate to the kitchen. The next thing I know, I've got the manager plopping the plate back down in front of us, and flashing the menu, exclaiming that "while it may seem like it was a lava cake, *lava* is actually just the *kind* of chocolate, so it's not actually the kind of *cake*." Uum. That's a weird way of phrasing, "We over cooked a batch, and I don't want to lose money on a $14 dessert." Due to not wanting to embarrass my extremely non confrontational child by pointing out the bullshit directly TO Mr. Insulting Doo Doo Head while in a fairly close quarters and crowded restaurant.....and since we very much enjoyed the previous atmosphere.....and REALLY not wanting his creepy epstine island vibes(sorry, but skeezy-stuffy-bullshitter-that-thinks-hes-getting-away-with-blatant-dumbassery fits that bill...) around me any longer than necessary, I chose to, instead, smile and send him off. I then started to (only a little louder than normal...) converse with my child on what a lava cake is, how it's made, pics and articles off Google, and how some people just choose the wrong speech before knowing their audience. I will be back. I will order that lava cake again. And if it's molten, and if Mr. DDH is working, you bet your ass I'm sending it back and speaking with him about undercooking baked goods

As always we love the food! Wait staff awesome. Computer went down waited 45 minutes for bill waiter was very apologetic. Never saw manager. Never saw a discount, dessert, or drink for the wait a bit fr

The food tasted horrible. The pizza was bland, the pasta here tasted like chemicals. Also the calamari was dry and fries were frozen!

Came for dinner with a large group; solid spot for some good Italian eats! We had a seat on the patio; I would be wary of the temperature when deciding where to sit, as although they had heaters, it was still rather cold! They gave us complimentary bread and we definitely ate way too much of it while waiting for our food. We ordered a variety of pizzas and pastas to share. Flavor and texture of the pizza crust was great, would definitely recommend! Pastas were solid as well; my favorite was probably the seafood linguine. Food was slightly heavy but not too bad as far as Italian food usually goes.

Ca'Dario Goleta is our go to dining experience in Goleta. Their food is always fresh, fast, and delicious. I'm partial to their pasta bolognese, but they have great pizzas and usually a risotto special that is fantastic! We always are greeted warmly, we have taken large parties there frequently, and we enjoy the wait staff - some of whom have been there for years. They have some of the best outdoor dining in Goleta, which is surprising, given their location.

Food is solid, ambience is very Goleta-esq for an Italian restaurant. I do prefer their Montecito location but can't complain. They have a bottle of La Fiorta Brunello that you can pair with just about anything. Service felt a little rushed, but the wine made up for it.

We've been to the Ca'Dario locations in Santa Barbara and Montecito several times and were happy to find this one in Goleta when we needed dinner ideas close to my sister-in-law's house. We went on a Sunday at 6:00 with six adults and three children under three. An unwieldy party, for sure, but I was still kind of surprised at how obvious it was that the staff was not happy to see us. There was this palpable attitude like Ca'Dario was an upscale restaurant where one should think twice about bringing children. This struck me as a little bit laughable--the restaurant was in a giant suburban strip mall; there was a giant TV hung over the bar. Every other table we saw had either children or old people or both. The service wasn't outright hostile, but it was definitely off. There was a straight-up dirty fork at our table, which I took to the bar when I needed to order a drink and couldn't get anyone's attention. We also asked for a smaller fork for our three-year-old and were told there were none available until I asked whether they had any disposable flatware that they gave out with their pick-up orders. The plastic fork was an obvious solution that allowed our kid to eat his pasta without further complaint. The food and drink were good, on par with what we've had at the other locations. I had a glass of white wine and the linguine with scallop, asparagus, and truffle, both from the list of daily specials. They were solid. I also shared a burrata appetizer with my husband, which was great. I've never had a bad dish from Ca'Dario. It's a reliable place for a satisfying plate of pasta. We eat pretty often at the Ca'Dario in Montecito, which is both more elegant and less evidently hostile to children. The Goleta location was fine, but I don't feel a compelling need to go back.

I think ca Dario has a sweet spot for me and my husband because we have had many special dates here. It's amazing how inside it feels nothing like the actual location. The food is always great and the pasta is amazing! The best gnocchi I've had. I recommend for a special and yummy dinner.

AMAZING FOOD!!!! Our server was AJ and he was really friendly, giving us very good recommendations and was really friendly. I really liked the ravioli, it was really tasty and came out in a timely manner. The service was great, consistently getting refills and extra bread. 10/10 experience and will definitely come back

Solid meal, but nothing too noteworthy. Came here for a graduation celebration and ordered the calamari, rigatoni pomodoro, and the special seafood pasta. The calamari was surprisingly crisp and light and it came with some delicious tarter sauce. The rigatoni pomodoro was nothing special, but was exactly as described so not too many complaints here. The seafood pizza was for the table and we got half with cheese and half without, which they were able to accommodate. The crust was pretty thin and soft but taste wise the pizza was pretty good. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars was due to the service. While our waiter was fantastic, the food took a long time to come out and our meal ended up being well over 2 hours. I didn't think it was busy enough to dictate that long of a wait, but YMMV. Overall, some pretty unremarkable Italian food, especially since Tre Lune is just down the street. I probably won't be back but it was good in the moment!

A total of 9 of us dined in. We decided to check this place out because of the Yelp reviews. Once we arrived the staff wasn't welcoming which is such a bummer because it will definitely determine the ambiance to the environment. Unfortunately we found a hair in our salad. No one cared and possibly even questioned it. The manager didn't even approach us to apologize nor try to compensate us for this disgusting inconvenience. We felt like more of a nuisance because we were a big party. Our waters weren't filled. We paid. Hefty bill of over $400. I had to verbally ask for the salad to be taken off because our waiter didn't have common sense to do it on his own ‍ This place doesn't seem sanitary and I almost went out of my way to give the manager on site a good piece of my mind but I decided not too. I didn't want to work myself up. Here is a picture of the hair on my fork that was in my salad.

Unbelievable food and customer service! We were fortunate enough to get Tristan as our server and Felipe as the chef for the night. The food was simply perfect. Our pasta was aldente and the seafood was fresh The environment was nice and peaceful, perfect for a romantic night We look forward to continue going!

Pros: Service Gorgeous tables Relatively quiet atmosphere Cons: We wanted to sit outside but the "heaters weren't working" Food was quite bland (not seasoned at all) Ordered multiple appetizers (again not seasoned) leek soup was terrible Italian sauce should have some texture but it didn't -- it was clearly strained or blended like enchiladas sauce (beyond awful) The small amount of "olive oil/basamic vinegar" wouldn't mix if our lives depended on it. We wondered if it was real olive oil since it had no taste to it like real olive oil does. Probably unhealthy seed oil. The busboy constantly wanted to take away our plates when not finished Summary: We will not be returning even though our server was great. The food is not good. If a customer has to salt/pepper "Italian" food so much to taste good, the food being served is not of quality. The "three chefs" preparing the food should be terminated. Anyway, I wish this establishment was better but it's not. Unfortunately, we left disappointed.

Our most recent visit was on a Wednesday and it was packed! There was a huge group of 20+ people set up in the middle of the restaurant, but luckily there's a lot of seating and with our reservation were sat quickly. We picked the Margerum Rosé from their extensive wine list (one of my favorites) and split a salad which seemed small compared to the huge entree portions. Both of our meals were delicious and we had leftovers for lunch the next day! Our servers frequented the table despite the crowd but we had to ask for water a few times. Overall great experience!

Maybe ordering it was the wrong time of the day or wrong day of the week. Whatever the case--ordering the lunch menu calamari was THE WRONG thing to do. The Overall experience for our birthday occasion was great because of the company I was in. Armanni who is our server was very pleasant, and was very helpful answering all of our questions regarding menu choices. My suggestion is if possible, sit inside because the ambience is very beautiful and you won't get attacked by the flies like we were on the outside patio. If there was an option to give my experience a 4 1/2 rating I would. The calamari just wasn't right.

Service was horrible. The parties after us got their food and we were never acknowledged after waiting 30 minutes. We felt neglected!

Excellent- service, food, staff, etc. very short visit to SB - ate there 2 nights back to back. Made special request - no problem. Chef was happy to comply. This restaurant is a must go to. YUM!!!

Went here for first time. We are out of town family Of 5. Service is fantastic! Food is "mid" overall ... Actual best part Was the kids pizza ... All other pasta dishes were "ok"

Because they allow dogs, it became 3 stars. The food quality needs to improve. The service was good, the ambiance was good however outdoor patio seating had too many flies and yes they came when food came so I had to swat away flies while eating a not so good Branzino. You know I love Branzino so I eat it everywhere. I love whole fried crispy fish. This fish was not crispy and without the sauce, couldn't stand as fresh fish on its own. That's sadly, bad fish. We also always order for the dogs, we give them pizza etc, but they didn't even want the cheese pizza from here. So be warned, if you are used to high end Italian, this will disappoint. It was however very cheap eats compared to my usual meal. They need to get rid of the patio flies that swarm the patio.

Whenever I am craving Italian food in Goleta, Ca Dario is always my choice, and not just because it's the only nice Italian restaurant in town. There are several other establishments in Santa Barbara or Solvang, but Ca Dario is always quite satisfying and does not make driving further out of town worth it. I think my partner and I have already visited the restaurant 3-4 times in the past year, and we are always very happy with our visit. First, the house wine is really delicious and the portions are generous. Also, there is rarely a long wait unless you go on UCSB's move-in weekends (and they do also take reservations). The service is always very friendly albeit pretty slow. The ambiance is upscale yet classic, great for a date night but also not so posh that I feel uncomfortable visiting in my jeans. As for food, all of the pastas, pizzas, and appetizers have been quite delicious, no matter the protein or sauce. Even the free bread is really delicious, even though their tiny sauce bowls make getting to the balsamic vinegar really difficult. The only dish I have ever ordered with a disappointing result was the carpaccio, which was supposed to come with a horseradish sauce but had no taste of horseradish, just plain mayo. This sauce did not complement the carpaccio at all, and I was quite turned off by it. Overall this is a great restaurant choice for all the occasions: date nights, when guests are in town, or when I feel like wearing my biggest pair of leggings and stuffing myself with carbs until I can't breath= the best kinda night.

This is the BEST place for lunch in Goleta. Food is the most consistent and delicious. Chuy is a service and manage who makes your experience the best it could be. He is attentive and professional. I will only bring my client lunches here. Chuy only works Mondays which is a disappointment. He should work everyday with how he treats his customers. During lunch the salads here the best I have had in Goleta. The white table cloths and service are top notch!

Food was AMAZING! Service was AMAZING! Highly recommend this location for Italian food. Drove from Ventura to give it a try. Thanks Ca' Dario!

The ravioli was fantastic! The ribeye was cooked perfectly but the flavor wasn't all there. We ordered the Cadario merlot and it was VERY good! We will be returning!

We walked down from the Marriott courtyard Goleta... It was a great walk; it's October 2022 and I am completely stuffed. I had the gluten-free seafood risotto and it was delicious. Looking forward to going back and having a Jacuzzi! Would I recommend this place? Yes, I would! I would definitely come back. I am up for walking back to the hotel! We had great service on a Monday night as well!

Great Italian food! Service- Average Ambiance- Amazing! Margarita Pizza- Best ever!! COME HERE!!!!!!!!

If you like Italian food, this is the place for you! Real authentic Italian dishes served with fresh baked bread with olive oil that has a hint of lemon herbs at the base. I had the pasta with salmon which was primo! I topped it off with bauletto alla fruita, a puffed pastry filled with berries! Magnifico! I would highly recommend finding this hidden little gem here in Goleta! Grazi.... AJ - (our very attentive waiter) for the delicious meal and first rate service!

This has been a favorite place for us for years but on a recent visit we were terribly disappointed. Wait staff just messed up with our order plus the food was terrible. Pasta was so overcooked it was mush. Hope they get back on track or we will not return.

I really am not one to leave a poor review, but we had horrible service at Ca'Dario Goleta last week. I had purposely sought out a nice restaurant that would have a private room to host my mom's 84th birthday dinner for 8 people. She doesn't hear very well and speaks very softly due to a sickness, so I had heard Ca'Dario's private room would be a good place. I called about a month and a half beforehand, spoke with the manager, and asked him about the private room for the celebration. I asked to book it and he even took my credit card to reserve it. Last week, my 23-year-old daughter showed up first for our celebration . I'm not sure if he didn't listen to her because of her age, but when we arrived our group was seated in the entryway, right next to the bar in a very loud area. When I arrived and told him we had booked the private room, he didn't apologize, and instead he started to argue with me in front of my 84 year old parents. He said that he had taken the reservation and there was nothing in the books about reserving that room, even though I know I spoke with him about it . He was very unprofessional, not only to not have written down the reservation correctly, or even to try to adjust us to a better spot, but choosing to argue in front of my parents. To top it off, he decided to be our server, and unfortunately with a group of eight, he automatically added a 20% tip. And, he didn't even give us enough place settings and we had to flag down a busboy I will never go to this restaurant again. Being a long time Santa Barbara local, this makes me sad.

Convenient location in a boring strip mall near a laundromat. Free parking, yay! The disconnect between the location and the elegance of the dining is notable. I choose this place for special occasions. I have repeatedly been given courteous service beyond expectations. There is a vibe of gratitude here, like they are truly happy to have you there. Food is delicious. I love their ravioli. Crusty bread is perfect. Nice wines. I really enjoy dining here!

Outstanding Italian food. Appetizers from the caprese and bresaola to the pastas were amazing. Will definitely come back.

Our sons a 4th year at UCSB and we have been bringing he and his roomies here every year. Food quality is top notch, service fantastic and location perfect, near IV. They take ressies, and can accommodate larger groups.

I found this place on a Yelp search for dog friendly places. They have an outdoor patio and all patrons and staff fawned over my friend's 9 week old Siberian Husky puppy. The server even brought over a bowl of water for the dog. :) This was my first time at this location. It's set in the corner of a strip mall but the interior has a warm ambiance and the outdoor patio is delightful with Italian music piped in! It was interesting that we walked in and asked to be seated in the patio but the manager immediately said "We're full out there." When he saw our puppy, he said "Oh ok, we will seat you outside" and we went to the patio, where there were several open tables. Other tables were seated outside shortly afterwards. We both had salads- mine was the Spinaci con pancetta e uova - a spinach salad with boiled egg, bacon, parmigiano, and balsamic dressing. Yummy! My friend got the Insalata di pollo arrosto with baby lettuces with roasted chicken, garlic croutons, grated parmigiano. The service was very good, and the atmosphere was inviting. Their extensive menu has a wide range of appetizers, pizzas, sandwiches, egg dishes, and first and second Italian courses. I've been to Ca Dario in Santa Barbara, and know that these are all very tasty. I'm glad I tried this location -a plus is that there is lots of parking- and I will be back!

We recently had a rather large and boisterous family gathering on Ca'Dario's beautiful outdoor patio. The staff was lovely, and put up with our chaotic, bordering on semi feral group. They brought extra maraschinos for my nephew's Shirley Temple. They were patient with our repeated requests for additional time on placing our order since everyone was so distracted catching up that they kept forgetting to look at the menu. The food is always absolutely delicious (get the spinach/ricotta ravioli in brown butter and sage). I have never had a bad meal here. The purpose of our gathering on this occasion was honoring my mother in law's life after losing her last year. Covid and other life events had prevented us gathering before this. When the staff found out, they brought the whole table a complimentary aperitif to toast her life. Absolutely above and beyond. Every member of the staff we interacted with was unfailingly pleasant, actually seemed to enjoy their jobs and took pride in making our evening special.

Wrapping up a perfect evening here as I type. Atmosphere was festive and inviting the week after Christmas, and every staff member we interacted with was as warm and welcoming as the atmosphere. Truly...service was absolutely stellar and I'm perplexed by any review that insinuated otherwise. Traditional Italian menu at the top of its game. I had the pennette al salmone - the silken dill cream sauce was the perfect complement to the smokiness of the tender salmon. Husband had the whole roasted branzino and found it to be succulent and fork-tender. Daughters had the bolognese with spinach tagliatelle and could not stop raving about it. Bolognese is their absolute favorite thing I make at home and we all agreed that Ca'Dario's rendition was superlative (read: definitely better than mine!) - prepared with love and so comfortingly delicious. Cannot say enough; we had a perfect meal start to finish and only wish we lived closer! Thank you Ca'Dario family!

Excellent food, very friendly staff, clean and bright place. Amazing wine selection. Everything on the menu is 5 star - we will be back!

decided to quickly walk in and get lunch at ca'dario in Goleta. by far one of the best servers i have ever had. Emma is such a well spoken, intelligent, and thougtful server and took very good care of me. she has a very professional and lovely demeanor and her recs were fantastic. definitely will be coming back.

I really enjoy this location in Goleta. It is small and quaint with inside and patio dining options. The service is excellent with a friendly staff. The food is always fresh and excellent from their salads, pizza and pastas. The prices are reasonable and a very popular local restaurant for locals and families. I look forward to visiting again.

I had been craving the Quattro Stagioni Pizza from Ca' Dario for months and I finally caved. It was worth every single bite. Usually it comes in 4 quarters with artichokes, olives, ham and mushrooms in each, but I asked if they could mix it up and they were happy to do so. They service was wonderful and I cannot wait to be back. Thank you!

Some of the finest discoveries happen by chance, and chance is exactly what led us here. After scavenging for a nice dinner around Goleta we found Ca' Dario Cucina Italiana and gave it a go. What we did not expect, however, was the subliminal back patio ambiance and the excellent customer service we received. Like they say about being transported to a different location, the decor truly teleported us away. Now to the food. The food was amazing. They carry quite the variety of dishes which is impressive during these COVID times. The specials available definitely did not lack specialty. As a pasta lover, especially the made-from-scratch al dente kind, there was something here for everyone. I spent a decent amount of time indecisively pondering what to select. Alas we had the instinct to decide after finding a new favorite Pinot. Sometimes the best nights are the random nights. To me it was an amazing night discovering a new favorite location for quality Italian fare and customer care. I suggest making reservations for the back patio location, aside from that, come with an empty stomach. You will not be disappointed.

Quite the diamond in the rough! Surrounded by a laundromat and a chipotle, you wouldn't expect such a magnificent Italian cuisine. This was my first time here and I was truly impressed. I can't pronounce anything on the menu, but they all translate to superb. I tried three of the four of our dishes and was quite impressed. Our waitress and staff gave impeccable service. Our salads were split and drinks were always full. I was extremely impressed with the service and tastiness of our meal. I highly recommend and will definitely be returning. Great job!

Very pleasant Italian restaurant in Goleta. Great food, service and a neat outdoor courtyard

This is a fancy, upscale Italian restaurant hidden in a shopping center that you wouldn't expect. The service is prompt and friendly and the decor is fancy and modern. Be prepared to spend some money here, because the prices are sky high. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and my boyfriend ordered the tortellacci allá panna. My portion of pasta was pretty big, and definitely worth it for the price. The sauce was flavorful, the spaghetti was Al dente and the meatballs were good! The tortellacci was delicious as well, however it was a pretty small portion for a $30 dish. The flavors in the dish, however, were very good and flavorful. Overall, this is a good date night restaurant due to the fancy atmosphere and delicious food, just be aware that the dishes are pretty pricey.
