    The food is excellent except for minor details - We didn't like the olive oil because it was tasteless and we didn't like the affogato because it the espresso should be poured at the table. But our chicken marsala was very, very good, and our seafood risotto was excellent.

    Ca Dario in Montecito continues to be our favorite dining spot in SB county. Food was absolutely terrific, service continues to be the best in the county! We moved here from Hawaii in 06 and dined in most of the SB’s restaurants and found that we always enjoyed Ca Dario as the place to go for our birthdays and other life celebrations. My wife and I totally enjoyed our evening!

    We went for dinner to celebrate my birthday, however the staff never acknowledged my birthday. They sat us at a nice booth as requested. The starter frittura mista was good. We enjoyed the calamari, shrimp, and baby scallops. The linguine alle vongole had many clams. My husband had the flat iron steak which he ordered med rare. It came med well which was disappointing.

    Alex is an attentive and patient server. I was not able to order the dessert I was looking forward to having. By mistake I ordered a dessert thinking it was the Bomba. The Bomba does not appear on the menu according to the servers. A customer has to know to request it. This is a bad policy. And…I had a very disappointing dessert experience.

    Our server Dubra was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, bubbly, helpful, and made our experience that much better. Will 100% be back, this girl deserves a raise!
