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

Ca Dario is always a great choice for Italian cuisine. Their specials are always good and can’t go wrong with their pizzas.

First time there and the staff was amazing! Food very good and was a nice change from the go-to places in Goleta. It's nice to know that there is a great Italian restaurant in this area and a new "go-to" spot! :-) Looking forward to going back. Thank you!

Ca Dario is one of my favorite restaurants, especially for celebrating special occasions. The service was excellent, and the manager let us order a dish for lunch that is only on the dinner menu. We were treated like royalty.

The food is always good at Ca'Dario. I had the Uova in Camicia (poached eggs on rustic bread with grilled asparagus) and my friend had the Bruschetta al Pomodoro (Grilled rustic bread with fresh chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil, marinated artichokes) and both were delicious. We shared a Tiramisu for dessert with coffee. Prices are reasonable (also applies to wine by the glass and beer). Service was excellent. The back patio is lovely on a sunny afternoon.

For a restaurant that was almost empty, I don't understand why our service was so lacking (there was plenty of waitstaff on hand.) We sat and waited at every turn - for a drink, to place our order, for our food and then for our check (another server ended up taking our check and ringing it up for us). I ordered the salmon which was actually quite tasty - although I ordered it medium and it came well done - but the sides were bland and the presentation was greatly lacking. We should have gone to the downtown location because we've always had a good experience there.

Our first time to restaurant, recommended by our daughter. Upper end pricing for Italian food, however you are paying for the atmosphere as well as food, which was really good. We did not leave hungry, which is always a plus, so not complaining about prices (just a heads up). Brought one basket of bread and did not offer more. They might have brought some additional if we asked. We are used to being offered additional when eating Italian and given the opportunity to say no. The eggplant parmesan appetizer was really good and could have been a meal in itself. I ordered spinach tortellini w/ham in a creamy parmesan sauce. It had a good flavor and would recommend. Husband had lamb. Although good, had a little too much rosemary for his taste. The other 2 dishes ordered were fettuccine pasta dishes (don't remember exactly which ones, but one had seafood in it). They both had leftovers (but had mostly eaten appetizer and bread also). If looking for a good restaurant with atmosphere, I would recommend.

Our favorite Italian restaurant in Santa Barbara. Always-friendly service, good wine list, plenty of special fish dishes. We like the other Ca'Dario branches as well, but this is more spacious (great outdoor patio in good weather).

Very nice Caesar salad with just a hint of anchovy; very good flavor. Wine list is excellent. Smoked salmon pasta in cream sauce was very nice. Excellent flavors. The Goleta site attracts an older and younger clientele than I have typically seen in the Santa Barbara location. Overall, very good evening out with the family.

Creative dishes of high quality. Helpful and cheery servers. Only the high noise level of the kitchen fans mars the experience a bit. (Pick a table that's away from the open kitchen side.

It was fairly frustrating to have to wait 30 minutes for our reservation. It seems as they have an ongoing issue with managing reservations, but once we were seated, we had an excellent waiter even though our table was in an obscure corner.

Food is delish, service attentive, wine list reasonably priced. Pastas are excellent and they know how to cook fish and fresh veges. But they need to be more attentive to keeping the restrooms clean and stocked.

This restaurant is amazing. I judged it a little for the center it’s in, which didn’t impress me from the outside, but was definitely reminded of, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” The food, service, ambiance (especially back patio!) was stellar. The gluten free items for my daughter with severe celiac disease was exquisite. I was such in a good mood we ordered two desserts which we almost never do (also amazing)! Definitely recommend.
