    Not great. Winelist knowledge left much to be desired.

    This is a “go to” for us. Great space/s and good variety of food. Great wine list…. Prices do seem higher with the expanded menu. Sadly, everyone at the table felt the food was way over salted (and we do love well seasoned food) including the fish, muscles, risotto. This was the case the past couple of times we were there. Service was good as usual.

    Always a great experience at Intermezzo. We love the food and rock n roll setting of the bar area. The Filet Au Poivre is delicious as is the Salmon with Lemon Caper sauce. Service is on point and the drinks are great! Try the Walkin’ the Line martini!! Spicy!!

    Our Soppressata pizza was so disappointing. What has happened to it over the past year? Not only not the same as it used to be, this time it was burned to a crisp and yet the chef and kitchen staff still sent it out to us. The filet mignon au poivre was excellent. Both LT and Kenny were amazing wait staff. We were lucky to have them.

    Great place with good food and drinks. But last night 2-15-25 it was just off. Salads came before drinks. My steak was served 10 minutes before my wife’s pizza arrived - so cold steak or eat without my wife?? They did discount the bill, but hard to go back with some many great options in Santa Barbara.

    Lovely Valentine's Day dinner In a quiet atmosphere with very cool background music from '40s. Perfect for conversation. Food and wine were excellent and servers were gracious and helpful. Loved it all and had a perfect evening!! Thank you, Intermezzo!!
