   The food was SO good! We each had a mixed seafood dish (pasta for me, risotto for my date) and it was just fabulous. Deeply flavorful and carefully prepared; seafood was fresh and thoughtfully combined (no overdone shrimp to be found). Service and location were fine, but at not ‘fine dining’ levels. Had a bit of a neighborhood spot feel to it.

   The outside atmosphere is nice other than some occasional noises and smells from outside the patio area drifting in. Not a huge problem, great food and service overall.

   Great lunch spot in Goleta. We had a girls lunch to catch up and they left us to sit and visit after we were done. Did not ask us to leave, when clearly the lunch service was done. LOVE THEM!

   Ca Dario is consistently excellent. I love the ravioli, my husband loves the rotisserie chicken. Service is good but not great, a bit slow.

    Ca’ Dario is a great choice for Italian food! I had the risotto with lobster, crab and shrimp and my friend had the ravioli. We also split an arugula salad. Everything was delicious! Not the best ambiance, but it was nice to sit outside on the patio. I would definitely go back!

    My wife and I frequently go to the the Goleta location as it's close to home. The food is constantly great, the wines are excellent and the staff is wonderful. The price you pay is fair and worth every penny. Definitely worth a visit.

    We are regulars at Ca D’Ario and have been ever since moving to the area last year. Our daughter has lived here for 7 years and first took us there several years ago. I love love love good Italian food - and this is as great as you will get anywhere. Creative menu - lots of new spins on traditional dishes. Always tastefully prepared, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

    We made a reservation late because they showed they took reservations until 9pm. We knew some in our group may have been late for our 8:15. At 8:20 the mgr told us the kitchen was closing if we didn’t order. They made this clear 3x. Set the tone for a very rushed meal. The dishes swam in soups of olive oil and although good, just swimming in olive oil wasn’t our thing. Apps and main courses for 5 people were fair at best. Would not recommend.

    Everyone was kind, welcoming, and friendly. They were very accommodating of my vegetarian diet and prepared a dish without chicken stock at my request. The food was delicious as well, though I would have preferred it to be slightly hotter.

    I have been coming here once/twice a month and always get the ribeye steak with beans. My wife gets the salmon and my daughter gets a pasta with red sauce (usually puttanesca. It was always awesome. This recent visit was disappointing in terms of the food. Not sure if the chef has changed or a newbie cooked our food. It was not as great as the past visits. Our server is always awesome. We will still go and eat there on Fridays. Hopefully, our food will be the same as the past visits. =)

    This location of Ca' Dario lacks the elegance and charm of the original location in downtown Santa Barbara. However it's nice enough, and they did a pretty good job with their back patio, which manages to seem like a garden, even though the place is located in a very commercial area. Since outdoor dining is essential to us in this Time of Covid, that was a definite plus. The food was very good, although my husband's pepperoni pizza had so much pepperoni it was more like a flavorful grease bowl. Because the crust is so thin (which is great!) they could definitely cut back on the amount of sausage on the pie. I had the chopped salad, which was delicious...couldn't have been better. Decent $10 glass of Pino Griggio was enjoyable.

    Unfortunately they were understaffed so service was slow even though our waitress was doing her best. She kept her cool taking phone orders and staffing the floor. I ordered calamari and it was over cooked, more like jerky. I saw the cook tell our waitress it was her fault because it took her too long to serve it to our table. But that was not true and I thought it was pretty rude of him. He definitely overcooked it. I’ve had it there before and it was delicious. Our dinner was delicious: I had the ravioli and my friend had a pizza.

    Food was great. Atmosphere is okay...if you want something more romantic go to their other locations in Montecito or Victoria. Waitress weren't as attentive. Always had to raise our hands to get their attention. Only service beers and wine, no cocktails.

    We have been dining at Ca Dario for many years now, however, this is the first time I have been to the Goleta location. The beauty and ambiance is exceptional and surprising given that you are in a strip mall. The décor is charming both inside and on their lovely patio. Whether you decide to eat "a dentro" (inside) or "ala perto" (outside), you will find yourself transported. As for the cuisine, delicious as it is at any Ca Dario location, and a bit pricey but worth saving up for. Buon apetito!

    Celebrated our 2-year date anniversary. Restaurant was exceptionally busy for a Monday night, so it was pretty noisy. The service was not excellent only because our waitress forgot the bread we asked for while we were waiting for our meal and served my soup that was cold. Other than these two mishaps, the food was delicious! No complaints on the food whatsoever.

    We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation. The hostess told us she was not sure our table would be ready by 7pm, but she could sit us outside, which we agreed since we were already there and the weather was ok. Food and service was OK ( we were not expecting anything great), but the cleanliness of the restaurant was very disappointing. Eating on a dirty table cloth and have water served on a glass with lipstick marks was discussing. City should run an inspection on this place… First and last time on this place.
