- RRobertVIPSan Diego •16 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoIncredible service! So nice and helpful as this was our first visit. All of her recommendations were spot on. The artichoke didn’t stand a chance as our kids caught on the ended up devouring it. Our group had a pizza, pomegranate salad special, their pasta special with shaved truffles, and the sliders. Their craft cocktails are well done and her recommendation for an Italian white was money. No room for dessert. Must try if you’re passing through.More infoSY KitchenPrice: Expensive• Italian• Santa Ynez Valley•4.9
