- LLauraCalifornia Central Coast •8 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis was my second time at Barbareno and it was just as delicious as I remembered it. I am taken by their creative approach to local ingredients, and find their dishes unique and flavorful -- we literally scraped up every last bit on our shared plates of Ricotta Dumplings and Garlic Scape Gnocchi. Accompanied by the hearty house sourdough and rustic bacon date jam, everything was just so good. Wild s'mores for dessert was perfect, not too heavy and full of flavor. Our meal was infused with subtle notes of eucalyptus, wild herbs and wood smoke -- all evocative of the California I love. Service was impeccable. Friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Amazing local wine and beer choices as well. Can't wait to come back.More infoBarbareñoPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Barbara•4.9
