    We got two meals. The first one pasta with shrimp and mushroom, with withe and red sauce. This one was good I like it. The second meal was a little bit spicy and the sauce was not thick. The chicken quantity was good in it. The meals size were very good. Prices are reasonable. We tried cream prulee for dessert. The taste of the food was good. The tables out side is relaxing nice. However the reason I’m only giving 3 starts ⭐️⭐️⭐️ it that I got food position after eating here. It started almost 45 minutes after finishing the meals. And the rest of the night was terrible. I’m not sure it the kitchen is not so clean but I would recommend more cleaning habits and making sure food are not staying out of the fridge.

    My husband and I had a pretty good experience eating here. We shared the Mushroom Marsala, Shrimp Piccata and tiramisu - all delicious - and even though we shared everything, we left feeling extremely satisfied but not exhaustingly full! We will definitely recommend if you are looking for good American Italian food.

    Very well priced. Extensive (too many?) menu options and tasty food. But the place is looking tired...

    It was amazing, food, wine, atmosphere, everything. If you want to enjoy the evening this one is must visit. It was worth driving here for 1.5h.

    I got the eggplant parmigiana and I thought it was pretty good. The pasta was kind of bland. We did the 30% off special so not sure if I would pay full price if I ever come back. But it was better than other Italian places I have had in town.

    I went to this restaurant after reading reviews. The food was plentiful, tasty, and reasonably priced, so everything was good. In particular, the person working was very friendly, so I enjoyed the food even more. If you go to Santa Barbara, I recommend visiting this restaurant.

    Dinner special, 3 course with a drink. The garlic bread was so good, salad ok, the balsamic vinaigrette saved it. Add the two together🤌 Chicken Piccata, creamy and tasty. Portion was good and filling. Tiramisu was good, family shared and was finished before I could take a proper pic. Was a good combo, very filling. Service provided was good, drinks arrived promtly and food didn't take long.

    Do yourself a big favor and skip this place. The service is the worst I've experience in Southern California. Our waiter was rude and made us feel rushed. I ordered eggplant parmesan extra crispy- it came out as a brown pile of mush with a very odd flavor. The fettuccine Alfredo is totally bland and flavorless. The chicken parmesan that my sister got was ok (on par with something from the frozen food aisle), and the chicken piccata that my other sister got was also flavorless. When I told my waiter that I didn't like the eggplant, he said "what's wrong with it?" And I told him it was the taste and texture. He *scoffed* and said "well, the same guy has been preparing it for over 30 years." He had been rude the whole dinner, but since I told him about the eggplant he hasn't returned to our table. The one good thing here is the garlic bread- it's actually delicious.

    I recently dined at this Italian/Mexican restaurant, and it exceeded all my expectations! The variety of vegetarian options was impressive, and the drinks were fantastic. The prices were reasonable, making it an excellent value for the experience. The free freshly baked garlic cheese bread they served was a delightful and mouthwatering start to the meal. The bruschetta was a true highlight with its fresh ingredients and flavorful toppings. The pizza and ravioli were both outstanding, delivering authentic tastes that left us craving for more. But what stood out the most was their impeccable service - the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcomed. Additionally, the restaurant's ambiance was wonderful, creating a relaxed and inviting vibe. Highly recommended for a delightful dining experience!

    Buyers beware. We got the weekend special which is a small salad, half of a main entree, wine or beer and dessert. The dessert was literally half of an inch or smaller. We got the dessert go and well here is a picture of what they gave us. We love Pascucci, their food is amazing but tonight I felt robbed. Had I known how small the dessert portion would be I would had skipped the special.

    If you are looking for comfort Italian food, good wine, and big serving sizes, this is the place to go. I had Tre Fromaggio, and it was delicious. I could not even eat half of it. The salad with creamy gorgonzola dressing was also good. They bring sourdough bread and butter to the table. They have outdoor seating as well as inside. My only suggestion is for them to fix some of their seats to something more comfortable.

    Good restaurant, tasty food, excellent service, very fair prices. The restaurant is quite big, decorated in a fancy old-fashion style. We came for lunch and it was empty, but after we entered we saw it was a good choice to eat there.

    Magical Find, some serious Italian food business! Whenever you go to Santa Barbara - have a meal here, it’s magnificent. The service and staff is without an equal. Will go back again for the love of Italian food.

  • 5/5 Tommy S. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely loved the food! The Pasta Pascucci was the perfect blend of shrimp and chicken basil pasta I've had in years! Thank you! Even though it was only take out, I was treated as family should and knew then leaving with my food, it was going to be good and it was excellent! A true must have food for that Italian pasta experience.

    Expanded outdoor seating. The food was delicious as always & prices are reasonable. Nice to go a little earlier it's less crowded. Great dining & service. Nice spot for people watching on State Street, 5 blocks up from the beach. Highly recommend.

    Very accommodating. Had a nice outdoor setting. Food was overall good, but not amazing. The garlic bread was a favorite. I had the carbonara which was a little too creamy. The eggplant Parmigiano was huge and flavorful.

    Another great Italian restaurant, this time in Santa Barbara. Located in the heart of Santa Barbara. Great sitting area, food was excellent and super delicious. If you are in Santa Barbara, and craving for Italian, its a must visit place.

    This is our must hit spot every time we come to Santa Barbara. The food is great, service is good, and prices are amazingly reasonable. I remember when we used to wait in a long line to get a table, but then they got rid of their famous chocolate creme brule and it just isn't quite the same. It is however still awesome and the ravioli sampler is amazing!

    Pascucci is located in downtown Santa Barbara. It was a quaint little restaurant on State street. Table was in between romantic and modern setting. The staff were friendly and Welcoming. We ordered the lunch special which came with a salad, lasagna , and drink. We also ordered their Pasta Pascucci (picture shown) which was delicious. My daughter loved it. I ordered their salmon dish, didn't like so I exchanged for the Pasta Pascucci. All in all it was a great little Italian restaurant.
