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.

A collaboration between Lambert McGuire Design and Santa Barbara-based architect Jeff Shelton, the space offers a seamless indoor-outdoor dining experience that marries Clark’s classic coastal design features with the more whimsical ceramic tile traditions of Portugal and Mexico and a Mediterranean-inspired design that pays homage to its coastal setting and historic Spanish Colonial Revival architecture.

We are delighted to have added additional outdoor seating but Santa Barbara nights are chilly so bring a sweater or light jacket!Fresh, local ingredients, prepared with care. Excellent wines that reflect the quality and character of our region and work in concert with the cuisine. Warm, inviting ambiance, service at a relaxed, leisurely pace. Santa Barbara ‘Wine Country Cuisine’ means we source our ingredients using an ‘as-fresh-and-as-local-as-possible’ approach, with fish from the Santa Barbara Channel and produce from the surrounding countryside. We then take into account how these flavors can be presented in concert with our local wines. We believe you’ll taste the difference. Bon Appètit!

    We had an absolutely lovely evening at the popular O'ku on the waterfront in Santa Barbara. We were seated at a table by the sidewalk, separated by a hedge/fence, which allowed us to people-watch without feeling like we were being scrutinized by the passer-bys. Being a Saturday night, it was crowded and lively, but we didn't feel crowded. Our server arrived promptly to take our drink orders and such. She was sure to come by and provide guidance to get everything ordered. The menu was extensive without being overwhelming - we ordered some appetizers from the "Hot" menu, then some rolls and nigiri from the sushi menu. The apps came right away; the restaurant was sure to time everything so we didn't get a backup of plates on the table. We had the crispy cauliflower (delicious!), brussel sprouts (also delicious), and crab and shrimp gyoza (also delicious - and unusual in that it wasn't minced but rather a whole shrimp wrapped in the gyoza). The three rolls we ordered were delivered pretty quickly after our app plates were removed - all three were nicely presented and wonderfully fresh. I had a side of salmon nigiri, my go-to to tell how good the fish is at at sushi restaurant. It was like butter, which is all I ask. As it was a celebration (kiddos' marriage), we ordered dessert - the citrus cheesecake and coffee-chocolate creme brulee. Both received rave reviews - and I want the recipe for the creme brulee especially. The server kind of disappeared after dropping off our check, but another helped us with the gift certificate and paying the bill, and we were on our way at the two hour mark (which is the limit on the tables). Lovely evening!

    What a lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed our cocktails (paper plane and old pumpkin) and our entrees. We had gnocchi with ton of shrimp (dozen+) and grilled trout, we barely ate 1/2 of each. Portions are substantial, wish we could have taken but we don’t live here. The strawberry dessert is to die for. One of the owners chatted with us wish I could remember his name as he was very personable- this is a must try restaurant and worth every penny.
