Best Restaurant in Santa Barbara
Weโve been visiting Olio regularly for over 20 years and it continues to be the standard for high end restaurants in Santa Barbara. Food, service and setting combine for a memorable experience. This time I had the warm seafood salad followed by a mushroom/asparagus fettuccine. Both fantastic followed by a gratis crรจme brรปlรฉe for our table due to our years of loyalty.

We had an outdoor table surrounded by heaters, so we were very comfortable. Our server did a good job of seeing to us. Iโm writing this a little too long after our visit and canโt recall what we ate, but I definitely know it was delicious. We enjoyed the meal very much.
Be the first to ReplyGreat Italian food
We stopped here while we were passing through Santa Barbara and wanted to find an Italian restaurant. We have eaten that many Italian restaurants and think that this is one of the top restaurants we have eaten at. My wife had the European Seabass which was very good and I had the beef rigatoni which was also very good.
The staff was very professional and not just college kids looking for a part-time work. The service was very good, attentive and everyone was friendly.
We sat outside with the heaters which was very pleasant between 5:30 and 7:30 PM. We were definitely suggest this place to anyone who is in the area.
Excellent location, food and service
It's been a couple of years since I've been to Olio E Limone due to the pandemic but I was very happy to recently return for lunch and was very happy they survived. The lasagna was delightful; fine home-made pasta and meat with delicious tomato sauce, all very delicately seasoned. Wonderful dish and not heavy. Excellent crusty bread. Service was very personal and friendly. Had the feel of your "local" go-to place but with elegance. Would love to have such a place in San Diego area.

...but a destination!
From Bakersfield I have access to the LA basin for gourmet dining.
For authentic Italian cooking and recipes developed by an an authentic Italian chef, I travel to Olio e Limone in Santa Barbara. It has been my 'go-to' for the last 15 years and I have never left disappointed...other than the disappointment for having to leave. Many of the dishes remind me of what I ate back home in Italy, where I was born and raised. Bravo, Alberto!
Best Italian restaurant in CA
Take it from an Italian expat: if youโre craving Italian food, do yourself a favor and check olio e limone out. Easily the best Italian restaurant Iโve ever been to in California. Fresh, high quality ingredients, authentic recipes, exceptional cooking and service. Wish I lived closer..
Be the first to ReplyNot so fine dining.
Serious disappointment. Besides our table not being ready for our reservation and watching them seat walk ups before us, the food was absolutely sub-par. The mozzarella caprese was made with an under-ripe, thinly sliced beef steak tomato that was untrimmed. The mozzarella was gritty and watery. No flavor. We asked for balsamic for the table and it was literally watered down. The pumpkin ravioli which was described with a creamy sage, parmesan sauce was sickeningly sweet. Not savory at all. The gnocchi was made with more flour than potatoes, so they tasted more like matzo balls. And finally, I ordered the Risotto al Nero di Seppia. The squid ink lacked any flavor at all. The calamari were so over cooked it was like chewing on a piece of rubber. The shrimp were cooked well, even though drenched in the black ink, it was the only part I ate. It was advertised as made with Carnaroli rice, but I wouldn't put money on it. Whatever they used was under cooked. The wine was good and one of our waiters was awesome. Although watching him get yelled at by the head waiter in front of the customers was off-putting. If you are looking for fine dining, I do not recommend.

had dinner there this evening and everything was excellent from the prosciutto and cantaloupe appetizer to the pear tart with caramel dessert. For dinner we had ravioli stuffed with eggplant and goat cheese and rack of lamb. Both were excellent in preparation and taste. The service was excellent as well. Would go back to this restaurant over and over -- so many interesting dishes on the menu. Highly recommend it.
Be the first to ReplyDinner Restaurant and their Olio Bottega for lunch
We came upon the Bottega for lunch which is right next door to the restaurant. Many imported Italian products and open for breakfast and lunch. Met Eve - wonderful lady and tried one of their Italian focaccia bread sandwiches. The bread is baked fresh daily right on site. It was a great sandwich. Also ordered a arancini rice ball - shaped more like a pryamid - it was better than any rice ball I ever ate - even in Italy! The Bottega is part of the main restaurant and I decided to try their dinner menu. Again - the food was fabulous, service was great in their outdoor seating area. Had one of their specials that evening - braised short ribs over risotto. WOW! Everything my wife and I ordered for these 2 places was excellent. I return here if in Santa Barbara again.

My husband and I had one night in Santa Barbara and this place was recommended to us by the front desk staff at the Marina Beach Motel. The hostess was a little rude and our server was very friendly, but slow to get to us because he kept stopping at the tables right outside of the kitchen each time he came out. The staff that bused the tables were the friendliest and most attentive throughout the night. Food was excellent and my husband said his spicy seafood linguine was the best he has ever had.
