    Ca’ Dario in Montecito is the best italian dining experience on this side of the world. Wonderful food, top notch service and great vibe. Well done to the Ca’Dario Team lead by Mr. Fernando Gomes, who welcomes everyone always with a friendly smile. Highly recommend.

    The food was very tasty. The female hostess wasn't as friendly. Although the restaurant was empty when I arrived, and I was encouraged by the server to sit anywhere I wanted, the hostess was bothered that my small party wanted to sit in the corner and out of the way. It seemed odd, considering it was late afternoon, and only a party of two was in the entire restaurant with me due to the early time of day. I used to be a hostess and server in a previous life. However, my server, who had a heavy accent, was exceptional and made up for the unfriendly female host. He provided good food suggestions, and the taste of every dish did not disappoint. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely return to the restaurant due to the authentic taste of each dish and perfect food portion sizes.

    Happy to report impressed with them and will return often. Wait and admin staff very special, best in Montecito, Ca which says something. Fernando GM and Dubra, Marco and Alex comprise outstanding personnel. Impossible to beat combo food and service.
