- RRobertVIPSan Diego •16 reviews5.0Dined 4 days 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

- LLisaCalifornia Central Coast •52 reviews5.0Dined on 13 Oct 2024The Caesar Salad was fresh and the dressing was a tasty surprise. The Veal Milanese breading was crispy and paired nicely with the buttery, cheesy fettuccine. My friends both enjoyed their Spinach Ravioli and Pappardelle Vodka. Topped it off with us all sharing the Warm Lava Cake...delish!More infoChase RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Santa Barbara•3.4
