Amazing food. Love how the menu changes weekly. Small kitchen so not a big menu but it won’t disappoint.

My new favorite place! I loved the cocktail with espresso - so unique. The dishes are creative, beautiful, delicious and memorable. Loved the homemade pasta with uni especially.

Our new local spot, with great food and drinks! Okay - so we have been coming to Aperitivo for a while now, and every time we have the best possible experience - Give them a try!!

One of our favorite place in Santa Barbara! The food, wine and staff are amazing! Can’t wait to try their pasta club 🤗

Extra-fresh italian food. Impeccable service. Delicious wine and spritz selection. New favorite place in town for our italian family 🇮🇹

Found this great little spot as we were passing through Santa Barbara. Offering Italian cuisine using local ingredients, a real hidden gem in an area with so many places to choose from. The staff were really friendly and everything we had felt very authentic and extremely tasty. Highly recommend this place.

Definitely the best pasta in SB. Absolutely love their seasonal lardo bruschetta. Excellent wine as well as delicious virgin cocktails for us non-drinkers.

Fantastic small plates with amazing flavors. Highly recommended as a great spot for tasty bites and great wine.

This place was awesome. The food was amazing. People great. Ambiance lovely. Small and worth waiting for a seat.

More than a wine bar! The food is absolutely amazing, and changes weekly. One the best wine lists in town. People are great, some of the best service I've had in a long time. Great for a date night or a small group of friends, as it's a smaller place. My new favorite place - you need to go right now.

An absolutely delightful gem of a restaurant. The cuisine and beverages are simply exceptional, all expertly crafted by a dedicated and efficient small team. They offer exquisite vermouth-based cocktails that perfectly complement their delectable Italian dishes. The food here is truly outstanding! Aperitivo has become our new go-to spot for fantastic food and drinks! We've been loyal patrons for some time, and every visit has consistently exceeded our expectations. While their menu may be small since the don't have the largest of kitchens, rest assured it's full of delightful surprises that will leave you thoroughly satisfied.

This place is the best choice in Santa Barbara it If you are looking for the top-notch tastes. We’ve been here many times and every dish is the best. Menu updated every week and every dish we ordered was top-notch. I attached couple photos and most of them miss couple bites, because we forgot to do the photo before we taste it :) Among all the places we’ve been in Santa Barbara it’s the best one!

This tiny restaurant has it all -- the warmest/friendliest vibe and awesome food. We finally made it in and were blown away. The two of us ordered five of the seven offerings on the main menu. Everything was absolutely amazing (crudo, bruschetta!) but the gnocchi in pesto was utter perfection. The pillowy, soft texture of the gnocchi nearly brought tears to my eyes. The owner and our server were both delightful. We will definitely be back!
