Convivo is a Santa Barbara restaurant and bar with an Italian soul. Chef-Owner Peter McNee's food is best described as ‘Nomad Italian’. It strays from the standard or traditional Italian, sourcing inspiration from many other cultures’ cooking but its soul is thoroughly Italian. The ever-changing menu includes small plates, housemade pasta, wood-fired pizza, rotisserie chicken, fresh seafood and steaks served family-style. McNee’s all-star supplier network provides the freshest produce and local seafood the region is famous for. Inspired by the bounty of the sea, the lush farms and abundant vineyards nearby and the cooking methods of Italy, Convivo is a festive gathering place for locals and visitors alike inside the newly-restored Santa Barbara Inn.

    We sat outside which was nice and warm with the outdoor heaters. Our server was attentive and made great suggestions. Every meal was excellent. We started with the margherita pizza and mushroom pizza; both were excellent. We also ordered the gnocchi, risotto, Alfredo, vodka cream pasta and spicy sausage red sauce pasta. Every dish was delicious. We did not order dessert tonight but usually do. We love Tre Lune and are always grateful when we can get a table.

    It was a great experience!! I loved it. The food was yummy and the drinks were strong!! I felt it after one Mr. Lucky lol. It was an anniversary dinner and our waiter was so sweet and brought out a sweet treat for us to celebrate. I ordered the 10z New York Steak with a baked potato. My boyfriend got a Top Sirloin sandwich with some fries. We also got some calamari and that was probably my favorite!! The sauces were delicious.

    The hospitable and welcoming staff were top-notch - many of them wished us a happy anniversary, and it shows the excellent communication within the establishment and the care they take to provide patrons with a memorable experience. Highly recommend arriving early and grabbing a delicious and strong cocktail in the lounge before dinner. Walk the gardens either before or after your meal - the property is gorgeous! Every bite was tasty - what stood out most to us were the perfectly prepared grilled octopus starter and the absolutely divine Grand Marnier souffle.
