"Anything grilled is divine, and the rest of the menu is delectable at this charming Italian restaurant in Santa Barbara known for its excellent execution of simple pasta, meats and other classics. A fantastic wine list with many available by the glass; its a local favorite, so reservations are a must."

    Ca’ Dario is always consistent and wonderful in every way. The food is outstanding. The service is great. The best bolognese sauce I have ever had, and I’ve tried a lot.

    Had a wonderful dinner, as usual! We ordered several different salads and pastas (4 of us) and a couple of deserts. The ziti puttanesca and browned butter and crispy sage raviolis, our typical orders, were delicious. The other couple ordered the tagliatelli with mushrooms - yum. I don't think I've ever been disappointed with this restaurant and we've coming here for almost 20 years.

    Loud noisy crowded and unpleasant; were extra tables added for a busy Saturday night? We might as well have been at a single table with the family of 4 on one side and the May/December couple on the other. Multiple tables were served before us as we waited aver an hour for our dinner to be served. All our waiter said was “sorry.” After the long wait the food was unremarkable after all.

    Perfect spot for a celebratory lunch for a group on the weekend. Service was both warm & friendly, and professional; our server knew the menu and gave us excellent recommendations. She was amazing! Food was delicious. The pasta with brown butter and sage is out of this world. Excellent variety on the menu and a nice wine list. This is a great place if you want to feel like you've been to Italy for the afternoon and happened into the perfect trattoria. Plus they take reservations and you can actually have a conversation ... Just a perfect meal.

    Fettuccine Alfredo was wonderful, but Insalata Romano was a little wilted and warm, so a disappointment.

    Everything was delicious! We had salads, the spinach ravioli and Rosemary salmon. The pear tart and cannoli were amazing! Can’t wait to eat this meal again!
