Ca' Dario Montecito

"Great Italian food in the heart of Montecito. We enjoyed sitting in the warm parklet on a cold rainy night. The wine by the glass selection is extensive and our server Marko was terrific. My partner had the linguine and clams that was a huge portion and very enjoyable. I had the roasted half chicken that came with several sides and was moist and flavorful.. The salads were great and the zuccuchini blossoms a must. Everything was perfect and will return soon for sure."

"We dined here in hopes of an authentic Italian cuisine experience. Unfortunately what we had that day didn’t quite meet that expectation. The pizza was really dry, and while I understand the thinner crust, felt that the dough was somewhat overcooked. The pasta selection was drenched in oil and quite literally “swimming” in a pool of liquid. Doesn’t quite come off as authentic to me. Nonetheless, friendly staff in a convenient location central to busy Montecito."

"The service was lovely, very worth the price. The food was cooked perfectly. The lava cake tasted exquisite. The pear tart seems dry and old."

"The place is nice and beautiful. Nice staff and waiters. The menu is not large, but there are specials of the day. I didn't like the name of the pasta and I attach the photo to the reviews. This pasta was recommended to me by the waiter, I asked for something vegetarian. Pasta tastes awful."

"This place shows some brilliance that is unsurpassed in Santa Barbara. The prosciutto fig and goat cheese was mind blowing in both taste and texture. The smoke flavor was next level. The ravioli was equally impressive with the crispy sage on top. I can’t say enough about these two dishes. The big disappointment was the pizza that was good but just didn’t reach the same level. Service was excellent and prices were Monticito-normal."
