    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.

    Wonderful casual local restaurant. The staff was very friendly and engaging. Both the Chicken Piccata and Shrimp and Mussels pasta were excellent.

    Here’s a more concise version of your review: I recently dined at Thario’s in Carpinteria, and it was an outstanding experience. The meatball pizza to which we added ricotta was a perfect blend of savory and creamy, with the freshness of the ingredients really shining through. The shrimp pesto salad was equally impressive—light, refreshing, and bursting with balanced flavors. To top it off, the mango blueberry pie was a delightful and unique dessert, with the sweet and tangy fruit flavors perfectly balanced. The warm, cozy atmosphere and friendly owner made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you're in the area! Looks like it is the best option.

    Wow this place is AMAZING! The food was delicious and the service was great. The food was fabulous. Very authentic and delicious. My wife got the chicken Alfredo dish and I got the spicy shrimp with muscles which did not disappoint.

    Thario's is a charming local restaurant--friendly, helpful wait staff; innovative and tasty cuisine; charming ambiance. It would be greatly improved by a better wine list and a proper bar. I recommend this local gem!

    Always amazing. One of my favorite Italian places. Very friendly and welcoming staff with great food and one of the most serene outdoor dining areas you can find in SoCal.

    Mario and staff are fantastic. The food was delicious. I was disappointed to learn that they did not currently offer eggplant parmigiana, but Mario took my name and phone number and promised to call me when he has it as a special. We had the lasagna and the chicken piccata. It is the best chicken piccata I have ever had.
