Best Italian Restaurants in Carpinteria

Ca’ Dario in Montecito is the best italian dining experience on this side of the world. Wonderful food, top notch service and great vibe. Well done to the Ca’Dario Team lead by Mr. Fernando Gomes, who welcomes everyone always with a friendly smile. Highly recommend.

Excellent service from the hostess to the bus person. Very low key, quiet, with delicious food and wine. My sister and I stayed at the Beachside Inn next door so this was a lovely way to end a day I’d sightseeing. We recommend the swordfish (special), seafood pasta, all of the salads, and the chocolate torte for dessert. Fantastic wine list.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the central coast vicinity. Highly recommended and reservations a must. The best eggplant parmesan and one of made like cannoli instead of slices. Not on the menu, but made to order is the best carbonara Italiano around.

It was my second time dining at Convivo . We sat outside on the patio, which I highly recommend. You can see the ocean across the street with the Christmas lights it was very festive It was a continuous celebration for our anniversary. Our waiter was fabulous. He was extremely attentive and very friendly and professional. The food was absolutely delicious. I had their flatbread pizza which was super yummy and my husband had the steak which was delicious.  I will say that the inside of the restaurant has a little bit to be desired in atmosphere, but if you’re looking for extremely good food and wonderful service, we had that !!!! Sit on the patio ;-) 

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.
