Chris was so friendly , sincere and attentive . we have tried several restaurants in the Santa Barbara area over the years and Tre Lune is probably the best of all.  we would drive to Santa Barbara from Los Angeles again just to have a meal at this restaurant.More infoTre LunePrice: Expensive• Italian• Montecito•4.8
- KKelleenLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThis charming eatery beautifully blends the warmth of Italian hospitality with the vibrant flavors of authentic cuisine. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to recommend dishes and ensure you have a delightful dining experience. The menu is a mix of classic Italian dishes, and the pizza is definitely the star of the show. Their wood-fired pizzas are crafted with fresh ingredients and a perfect crispy crust. In addition to their pizzas, the pasta dishes are equally impressive. The gnocchi is light and fluffy, served in a savory sauce that complements the dish perfectly. Don't forget to save room for dessert—the tiramisu is divine. Highly recommended!More infoLeonardo Ristorante & PizzeriaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Solvang•4.8

- WWesLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoI've been eating at the Buellton Hitching Post for over 30 years and can't remember a bad meal, plate, or drink. This is a special restaurant that never lost its soul. It's not about plating, or stuffiness or a 50 page wine list. JJ the wine buyer puts together a great list that goes from great local BTG specials to a cellar that sports 1962 Lafite. Bring your friends and trust the 'Post' to exceed your expectations. Don't sleep on the duck, the mushrooms, the pork chop, and of course the steaks are fire--my choice is the filet.More infoHitching Post IIPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Buellton•4.7
- TThomasCalifornia Central Coast •2 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoWe know the owner and loved the service staff and the food. The hard surfaces along with large groups made for a relatively high level of noise. I guess that means it is a popular place for all the good reasons ~!!More infoOKUPrice: Expensive• Asian• Santa Barbara•4.8
