About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Just excellent authentic Italian food! Service was prompt, efficient, and done with enthusiasm. Dishes were made to our own specifications, including the removal of items not allowed with meds and using substitute of butter and onion that resutred in a delicious meal of pine nut mozzarella chicken with potato pillows. This was topped off with fresh sautéed spinach, and Epiphany Syrah.

    Wonderful service and very attentive staff! Wide selection of appetizers and entrees. We really enjoyed the bruschetta and frito misto. The branzino and halibut were cooked to perfection. Very generous potions and excellent value.

    The only issue was picking from the menu. You could dine at Dario once a week for a year and enjoy a different dinner each time. The veal Lombardy was exceptional! Great, friendly service. Wine list offered many different options by the glass or bottle.

    The dining experience was disappointing. The pizza was undercooked, overly soft, and lacked any crispiness. The beetroot risotto was bland, undercooked, and visually unappealing. The ravioli lacked flavor, and the sauce was broken due to excessive fat. I was served the wrong wine, which added to the frustration. The bruschetta was the best dish of the night, but it still felt like it was missing something to elevate it. Service was chaotic and inattentive. I had high expectations for the experience, but overall, it fell short—I wouldn’t recommend it.

    It was Valentine's Day so the restaurant was packed and noisy. Normally I would have liked a quieter setting but the energy added to the fun. We were seated next to the kitchen and it was interesting to watch the controlled chaos required to prepare all the food orders and get them served to the customers. The food was very tasty and the service by Loni was great. All in all a wonderful time!
