Tondi Gelato
Ice cream shop
👍👍 This gelato is soooo good. My second time here since I first tried it. Super creamy and I always look forward to stopping here when in SB. They give you a lot in the small for the price. My favorite is the mango but I should probably try other flavors too. They also have free pup cups for your dogg...

Ca' Dario Montecito
Italian restaurant
👍👍 This place shows some brilliance that is unsurpassed in Santa Barbara. The prosciutto fig and goat cheese was mind blowing in both taste and texture. The smoke flavor was next level. The ravioli was equally impressive with the crispy sage on top. I can’t say enough about these two dishes. The big di...

Gino's Sicilian Express
Pizza restaurant
😠 Writing this review from inside the restaurant. We got here 46 minutes ago. There was only one family finishing a pizza when we arrived.
Apparently the restaurant had other phone orders before us and they didn’t mention this. Sodas are warm now, we are still hungry and no one has said a word. There...

😠 100 minute wait for food after order. Server avoided any eye contact. Salad appetizer never brought (but charged). Main dishes ok, but not excellent, and extremely small portions (filet mignon MAYBE 6 ounces); 3 raviolis for another dish. Two in my party asked to go somewhere after to eat because s...

😠 The wait was not bad. 9 min and we were called to be seated.
Then it took 15 min to be acknowledged and brought water.
All the food we order had no flavor. We added lots of salt and pepper
The water tasted good. Not tap water.
But we will not return.
They do have restroom.
I don’t recommend this pla...
