About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Olio Pizzeria is an upscale-casual pizzeria with salumi bar/wine bar/full bar which was inspired by the myriad neighborhood pizzerie and enoteche found around the corner from just about every piazza in Italy. This idea began to take shape before Alberto and Elaine Morello even opened Olio e Limone Ristorante, their fine dining Italian restaurant next door. Wine bars serving boutique salumi and formaggi are ubiquitous in Italy, as is a regionalism which the Morellos are excited to share with you. Sicily is an emerging powerhouse, and touches of Sicilian food and wine delight their guests. You’ll also find exciting tastes from Campania and other emerging regions on their menus, wine and beer lists. Takeout available. Buon appetito!

    Ate here one year ago and it was excellent so I was disappointed that the food and service quality had all gone downhill. Ordered appetizer, salad and pizza. They all arrived at the same time. And everything tasted so-so. Of course the pizza went cold before we could enjoy it. I decided to forgo dessert since I was unhappy with the quality of the other items we ordered.

    I think the DOC Margherita pizza was one of the best pizzas I have ever tasted. The ingredients were super fresh and the bright flavors shined! This is a cute spot, I would go again.

    Quality of the pizza has gone so downhill as to almost be unrecognizable as compared with the way it used to be. The Favorite Salad is still perfect, I will give them that. The two entrees were just ok-house made sausages and chicken marsala.

    Absolute BEST pizza in Santa Barbara! The crust, tomato sauce and cheese was amazing. Caesar salad was top notch and portions are large. We will be back, soon!
