Best Italian Restaurants in Carpinteria

We stumbled upon this charming restaurant on a layover night in Santa Barbara and were pleasantly impressed by the welcoming, friendly and professional staff. Impeccable service and a creative menu complemented by a well curated wine list.

Ca’ Dario in Montecito is the best italian dining experience on this side of the world. Wonderful food, top notch service and great vibe. Well done to the Ca’Dario Team lead by Mr. Fernando Gomes, who welcomes everyone always with a friendly smile. Highly recommend.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the central coast vicinity. Highly recommended and reservations a must. The best eggplant parmesan and one of made like cannoli instead of slices. Not on the menu, but made to order is the best carbonara Italiano around.

It was my second time dining at Convivo . We sat outside on the patio, which I highly recommend. You can see the ocean across the street with the Christmas lights it was very festive It was a continuous celebration for our anniversary. Our waiter was fabulous. He was extremely attentive and very friendly and professional. The food was absolutely delicious. I had their flatbread pizza which was super yummy and my husband had the steak which was delicious.  I will say that the inside of the restaurant has a little bit to be desired in atmosphere, but if you’re looking for extremely good food and wonderful service, we had that !!!! Sit on the patio ;-) 

Sat outside in the patio, great seating. Noise level very low; could sit and talk with family without difficulty. Service excellent, very attentive. The food took a little longer than expected to be served. Good quality made up for it. Highly recommend this retaurant to others.
