Best Lunch Restaurants in Carpinteria

It seemed nearly impossible for our first experience here to live up to the long-running hype…but it did! We loved our server Alex who helped us pick out amazing wine and figure out how to try as many pastas as possible (the kitchen is super accommodating and will often do half-size portions AND make all kinds of pasta that aren’t on the menu!) so we were able to get an incredible tasting experience for two. Atmosphere is cozy and casual. Can’t wait to come back.

I’ve been here many times over the last 15 years and it’s such a beautiful restaurant. The food was amazing and our waiter was fantastic. Valet was terrific too. The hostess was a little stiff and standoffish which was surprising. We’d definitely return again hoping for a perfect dining experience. Thank you Chef!

As it is new, people will have mixed impressions but ours was excellent. We had the most delightful lunch on New Years Day. Easy to get reservation on OT. Great service, all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Delicious food, and surroundings. All at reasonable prices.

The service was top notch. I made last-minute reservation, so we were seated outside, it was a bit chilly, they surrounded us with heaters and brought us a blanket. Our server was great, very efficient. The food was delicious! Looking forward to returning.

Wonderful lunch for our day trip from LA! Everything was delicious, service was excellent, loved our beautiful table at the base of the lighthouse.
