“Very good Neapolitan pizza. The crust is less chewy than most pizzas of this style, and the char is aggressive, so it reminds me of a New Haven style pizza.The restaurant can get very loud and make conversation very difficult.The staff is helpful, but so busy, that it can be difficult to get their attention.“
“I took my aunt, uncle & girlfriend here because they had oysters (which were great). I was extremely satisfied with their wine & fries but their funk burger was one of the top 3 burgers I have in my entire life. It caught me off guard in the best way. I highly recommend!“
“Very happy we found this place hidden away in a courtyard off state st. Everything about it is great and we've been coming daily during our stay in Santa barbara. The banh mi is so good, as is the veggie pho. And surprisingly the toffee brownie is incredible, I did not expect that from a pho place and if it's made in-house then they need to open a bakery too.“
“The customer service is why I will be eating here regularly. My drink was never empty and if it got close they were on it. My food was great just needed a dash of salt. I really liked that they seem to know their customers and care about what's going on in their lives. They even insisted I take a Togo cup. Good people and good vibes.“
“Wow! What a fantastic deal! I had my first Fatte's Pizza and was blown away by the quality and the amount of ingredients on my sticky fingers, pizza.Yes you can get delivery, and you still get two for one. The two medium sticky finger pizzas were a lot of food! We also got a small side salad and it was crisp and had a good price point.I feel bad for not trying them before , ..Hint: ask for extra cheese or parmesan on the side.Definitely our new go to delivery!“
“We went to try the burger special, Paddy Daddy. The burger itself was good, but the corned beef on it was pretty tough & chewy. Loved the slaw & homemade pickles were awesome. Buffalo cauliflower was also very good. Loved the quirkiness of the decor & the mismatch of S&P shakers. Definitely will come again to try the pizza & other menu items.“
“While visiting the area, my kid noticed the logo from a TikTok she had seen. We decided to give it a try and both the food and the customer service were excellent. The owner has a great vibe, and he has excellent staff supporting him. We tried a Pepperoni pizza and it was quite delicious right out of the brick over. It had a great undercarriage, not too burnt. Perfectly crips. The area was quiet, we were there around Noon on a Saturday.“
“I visited SB for medical reasons and wanted pizza one night. I tried Taffy's based on reviews and was not disappointed. I'm not a fan of 80%bread and 20% toppings, so the reversal was a treat. Thinner normal hand-tossed bread with a TON of meat & toppings. So good, you will not be disappointed“
“Pizza is my thing; I love trying new local pizza spots whenever we travel. And don't get me wrong, I rarely find a pizza I don't love - but it's rare to find one that truly blows me away. Lucky Penny was just that; an unassuming spot in the funk zone that I had no doubt would be good, but was floored that it might be one of the best pies I've ever had. We can't wait to return!Vegetarian options: In addition to many veggie-forward pizza options, the salads and roasted cauliflower are also delicious!Parking: Street Parking in the Funk Zone is difficult, but luckily the city parking structure near Hotel Californian is just around the corner.Kid-friendliness: Pizza. Who doesn't love pizza?!“
“While in SB from out of town for a wedding we had pizza on our mind. Jumped on the interwebs to see what was near by and found Revolver. Their limited menu gave us confidence that what is offered must be pretty good. When we arrived at their location we found an inviting store front with great staff. We returned to our hotel with our order and fully enjoyed the Caesar salad, pepperoni pizza and a slice of house made cheese cake. If you looking for some quality pizza Revolver should be at the top of your list.“
“I was driving back to my hotel a bit disappointed with my most recent dinner. As I am about to pull in I see the truck out of the corner of my eye and man what a find!! The tacos coming from this truck are straight FIRE!! Simple and delicious. Thats how a taco is supposed to be. It was so good I came back the next night.“

“We had a great meal at L'Antica Santa Barbara. While we really liked our pizza (more on that in a sec), we especially loved the other menu items we shared. The arancini are hearty and cheesy - more than most. They were pretty filling on their own and very tasty/crunchy. The eggplant parmesan rolls were absolutely delicious and delicate in a zesty sauce. The tagliatelle pasta in pesto was some of the most perfectly cooked pasta I've had in some time (my in-laws are Italian, so I'm familiar). The pizzas are larger and cheesier than most Neapolitan pies, which makes them more fork n knife pies - very floppy otherwise. We had the Casareta (I think) with house sausage and chopped broccolini. Very good! A busser mistakenly tossed our remaining pizza, but they apologized and immediately offered a full replacement pizza. A very courteous and professional response! We also enjoyed the mini canoli and coffee (Americano and latte) made to perfection by our very knowledgeable server. We found it to be worth the drive up from Ventura County for future visits!“
“Honor pizza!!Walking around found the welcomes sign to discover this little market, that has a very nice selection of pizzas, wine, gifts, books, incredible coffee.Much gratitude, to all of the people that made the experience so memorable.“
“Cool spot down in the funk zone that serves up some traditional German brats and schnitzel as well as some nice beers. The restaurant is inside with a large patio around the entire restaurant. This place can get busy after 7:00 or 8:00 at night. Definitely a good time“
“It is sad too know, the first time I dined at Via Vai, would be my only time, as they will be closing in the next couple of months. And since I do not live here, it would be my only time to experience their wonderful cuisine. The Puttanesca is excellent, and looking at the Chicken Parmesan, which my friends enjoyed, was excellent. The salads were great, the wine selection was perfect, and dessert was outstanding.“
“I love a pizza place with a range of size options! It worked really well for our family of 4 to get three pizzas, in 8", 10", and 12" - nobody had to compromise their desired topping combos! We had plenty for dinner for two adults and two teens, with a few slices leftover for lunch. Another way to customize is with crust thickness - we got two with regular crust and one thin crust. I got the veggie Hawaiian, which was packed with toppings. So easy to call and order, was at the peak dinnertime and the order was ready in about 45 minutes. Get a side of the homemade ranch; you won't be sorry! Eat in also available at a handful of tables and a nice little bookshelf to pass the time. Conveniently located in the Mesa next to Blenders in the Grass, a short walk from Vons and Lazy Acres if you need to combine your errands.“
“Really great pizza place- reminds me of the old days as a kid with the long tables, salad bar, and family friendly environment. We got the rusty special pan- omg it was so good I couldn't get a picture til it was halfway gone...super cheesy and ample generous toppings - they didn't skimp!“
“Service was tops, our waiter was a pro! Food was good. The anticlimax was the $4.13 credit card service charge. Why shove this in the customer’s face after a $125 dinner (2 ppl)? Not unlike a “poison-pill” after an otherwise pleasant experience. Funny how something as trivial ($ wise speaking) as this makes this an indelible distasteful memory of this restaurant…. Why not just distribute this cost percentage-wise into the menu prices?“

“I've been going to Valentino's for my entire life! It's one of my favorite places. I almost always get a turkey sub, but everything they make is delicious. The flavors are always consistent, they're quick, and the team is always lovely.“
“We ordered a #19 large Sicilian pizza. It was absolutely delicious ?! Thin crust, a lot of cheese, sausage, onions, and basil. We ordered a ceasar salad, which was crispy and delicious. With lots of ceassr dressing and Parmigiano cheese on the side. Julie and the other employees made sure that everything was packaged ? perfectly ?. Wow, it was our first visit, and we were impressed. $33.00 plus tip!“
“this is some of the best pizza i've ever had! it's perfectly cheesy and doughy. the ambiance is great as well. very accommodating for large groups and they have arcade games for the kids. the owner is super friendly and so is the staff. i will definitely be back anytime i'm in the area!“
“We were at this wonderful restaurant again yesterday! We love the Manhattan cocktail there, and also the cucumber and rosemary cocktail! What a gorgeous selection of different cured meats! Seabass in white wine - just melts in your mouth! Insanely delicious shrimp! And actually, we specifically traveled from Beverly Hills to eat the unique Carbonara pizza. Ask to add another egg to it and it's just a culinary madness! Great wine selection! Amazing atmosphere! We will be back again and again! That's for sure!“
“Marcos thank you for your amazing hospitality and great recommendations on food items ! The atmosphere was amazing my family and Friends had a great time! Uptown lounge looks at its best and I will be bringing new people to visit!! Thank you Uptown “
“Most amazing Italian restaurant I've been ever too. Really cozy, warm, inviting, and clean. The staff were amazing and you can tell they've been working together for a long time and are a staple in the community. They knew so many customers by name and so many warm hellos were given, it definitely made the food taste better! The locals near our table told us they've been coming for over 10 years and it never disappoints.And the food! The food was phenomenal and perfectly seasoned/cooked. It came out quick and the staff was immensely attentive.The menu had a great range of pasta to meat to veggies and other unique authentic items. From lamb to cacio e pepe to orrata (fish) to pumpkin ravioli! They're generous with portions and the price is very reasonable. I noticed a lot of large to-gos going too and I can see why.I'd say if you're in Santa Barbara or Ventura County ever, this is MUST STOP ICONIC FOOD LOCATION that's been around for 30+ years!“
“First, the pizza is really good! They sure know how to make good pizza. My chicken salad was not worth the price, no fresh veggies and the chicken was flavorless.The pasta Alfredo was delicious. The lemonade drinks are pretty good.Nice and big location, perfect to bring the family for any occasion.Very affordable prices and good customer service.“
“It's like Chipotle, but for pizza! My 10yo granddaughter loved getting to pick her own toppings! The place was quiet and clean, and made for a nice family outing on a weeknight.Kid-friendliness: Nice place ti share a pizza with a child, bc they love the choices, AND they had organic milk and juice boxes, as an alternate to soda and adult beverages.“
“Otherworldly pizza, delicious salads and grandma's meatballs.Jose makes the best pizza this side of Sicily.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options if that's your thing.Dietary restrictions: They do have gluten free.Parking: The Public Market has underground parking that is free, there is a paid parking lot as well on the property. Across the street at the Victoria Court parking lot there is 75 minutes of free parking.Kid-friendliness: My kids love this place.Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessible seating.“
“This is the cleanest Dominos I've ever seen. Great pizza, and amazing value (large $9.99). Fast, friendly and accurate. My order was delivered within minutes. Sergio, Robert and their team were super accommodation and extremely professional. This is my new pizza spot!“
“I had a delightful experience at Saint Bibiana cafe in Santa Barbara today with my husband.After a refreshing walk, we decided to stop for lunch and were pleasantly surprised.The cafe exudes a cozy atmosphere, and the pizza with mushrooms and lemon was exceptionally tasty.The staff were friendly and provided prompt service, adding to the overall positive vibe of the place. We left feeling satisfied and content, wishing nothing but prosperity for this charming establishment.I highly recommend paying a visit to Saint Bibiana cafe for a memorable dining experience. “
