    All three in our party enjoyed our entrees tremendously. My husband is a fabulous Italian cook and purposely ordered the Chicken Picatta which is his test of quality in an Italian restaurant. It met his expectations with ease! We will be back!

    It was our first time but we will be back! Despite my husband getting a wrong entree (he wouldn’t) mention it, everything was delicious.

    Sat outside in the patio, great seating. Noise level very low; could sit and talk with family without difficulty. Service excellent, very attentive. The food took a little longer than expected to be served. Good quality made up for it. Highly recommend this retaurant to others.

    Wonderful casual local restaurant. The staff was very friendly and engaging. Both the Chicken Piccata and Shrimp and Mussels pasta were excellent.

    Here’s a more concise version of your review: I recently dined at Thario’s in Carpinteria, and it was an outstanding experience. The meatball pizza to which we added ricotta was a perfect blend of savory and creamy, with the freshness of the ingredients really shining through. The shrimp pesto salad was equally impressive—light, refreshing, and bursting with balanced flavors. To top it off, the mango blueberry pie was a delightful and unique dessert, with the sweet and tangy fruit flavors perfectly balanced. The warm, cozy atmosphere and friendly owner made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're in the area! Looks like it is the best option.
