Our favorite local restaurant! Great food, good service, nice people!! Like that they split the salad for us-no extra charge.

The atmosphere is nice but the food was just average. The Lasagne was very dry and hard on the top and one the corners and the baked chicken was dry and petrified looking. It tasted okay but I didn't love it. The pasta sauce was tasty. Their drinks and prices were quite expensive.

This restaurant was recommended to us by a pourer in a tasting room about 20 miles away and was not a disappointment. We dined here with another couple and were seated in a back room, which was noisy, but not as loud as the main seating area. It was packed on a weekend night. The noise was the only negative....

Best Italian food in Santa Maria/Ocrutt/Lompoc area, bar none! This is locally owned and managed and it shows. Great attention to the quality of the food, service and wines offered. A winner!

Very slow service and the restaurant was not busy. I had time to use the bathroom and then stare at the menu for another 10 min before our server said the first hello and took our drink order. Husband got pizza and it was very good. I got pasta carbonara and it was ok. Didn't taste very eggy to me,... More

Anything out of their wood burning oven is wonderful to your taste-buds. Be careful not to fill-up on the fantastic just baked bread served with olive oil. Great selection of Italian dishes. I love the pasta with mushroom and sausage. The pizzas are thin crusted and crunchy. The service is always great.

I recently dined at Trattoria Ulivetto and had the Veal. It was tender and had great flavor. I will definitely dine here again when in the area.

We wanted Italian food, and it was absolutely delicious but expensive for the remote location. The server was very gracious, and the chef was probably the owner who greeted each one of his regular customers and visited with them while they were having dinner.

We went there on a Friday night and were surprised 8 of us were seated immediately given the jammed bar. Our server was fantastic! She took our drink orders and our dinner orders and didn't write a thing down. I was a pleasantly surprised that she got everything right including a couple of variations on the specials for the night!... More

The food is good and so is the service. A little more pricey than the average area sit down thus the special occasion header. The seats are my only complaint, they are SO hard!
