   A quiet anniversary lunch with the usual wonderful menu of Italian signature dishes and specials. If you want to push the boat out for a special occasion in Santa Barbara, we know nowhere better.

   No music during dinner. No female wait staff. Portions of the food too small.

   One of the better Italian restaurants in Santa Barbara but really needs to pay more attention to service. Out waitstaff clearly forgot our order and we had to track down another waiter to get our wine served after a 30 minute wait. The waitstaff came back and apologized but it was another 20 minutes before we saw our food. To their credit they didn’t charge for the wine. It’s not the first time we’ve had issues with service here. At this price point they need to do better.

   We had a wonderful dinner last night. The food was delicious and service from Esteban and staff was excellent. We’ll be back soon. We brought a bottle of Tignanello and it was decanted with a 35$ corkage. Thank you Olio e Limone!

   Excellent food in a calm quiet ambiance with attentive service. Fantastic handmade pasta, decent wine list, didn’t try cocktails.. Food is well prepared and presented. Euro vibe of understated elegance. Love the white tablecloths.. Only criticism would be the courses arrived fairly quickly, which made our party of 5 feel a bit rushed. I’ve eaten there several times, seems to be their style, certainly preferable to very slow service. iStaff is ver accommodating and professional .

   What a lovely place! The food was terrific. My guest and I had no trouble hearing when we conversed in your crowded place. Kudos for that. Most restaurants are so noisy!

    they offer a daily lunch prix fixed menu, today it was $35. I had the caprice salad and (meat) lasagna which was as good as I have ever had, very soft and flavorful. My wife had the mixed salad and grilled salmon with spinach and roast potatoes, also excellent and cooked rare. Ambience is old world quite, and service was excellent. a great value for high quality well prepared Italian dishes.
