Convivo is a Santa Barbara restaurant and bar with an Italian soul. Chef-Owner Peter McNee's food is best described as ‘Nomad Italian’. It strays from the standard or traditional Italian, sourcing inspiration from many other cultures’ cooking but its soul is thoroughly Italian. The ever-changing menu includes small plates, housemade pasta, wood-fired pizza, rotisserie chicken, fresh seafood and steaks served family-style. McNee’s all-star supplier network provides the freshest produce and local seafood the region is famous for. Inspired by the bounty of the sea, the lush farms and abundant vineyards nearby and the cooking methods of Italy, Convivo is a festive gathering place for locals and visitors alike inside the newly-restored Santa Barbara Inn.

    Tre Lune was an exceptional dining experience, reminiscent of our time in Italy. The gnocchi truffle pasta and fettuccine Mare e Monti showcased outstanding flavor profiles, beautifully crafted and perfectly balanced. The ambiance was inviting, and the service was impeccable, further elevating the experience. This will undoubtedly become a regular stop for us whenever we visit the Santa Barbara/Montecito area.

    Service was great! We loved our waiter. Food was delicious, especially the Santa Maria BBQ! The tritip melted in your mouth! Bread and spread could have used a couple of more slices of bread for the spreads they gave you. Still delicious, and homemade butter, *chef’s kiss*

    Beyond exceptional. Amazing food, amazing service, with table-side smoke-infused cocktails and flambéed courses. And such a beautiful atmosphere! Be sure to arrive before sundown to walk around the grounds and check out the gardens. The indoor-outdoor dining at Stonehouse itself is beautifully decorated with foliage and lights, and they keep it cozy with heat lamps and transparent partitions to block the wind. The mashed potatoes really are as uniquely delicious as the menu suggests. We will definitely be going back to try more dishes.
