First, the setting and service were fantastic. We have wanted to try this restaurant for a while so on a recent trip to SB we made reservations. The salads were very fresh, crisp and flavorful (not swamped in dressing either). I have not had quail in decades so I ordered it on a whim. Not only was the quail cooked... More

I would not waste the money to go here. It was overpriced, pretentious and small portions. We were seated in the back room, which, for the price, should have been decorated much better. We had a view of the parking lot exit next door. Your couldn't put in half shutters over the cheap windows? We probably paid enough for our... More

We ate here with a group of about 12 people. The table was the right size. The waiters were very accommodating all night and right on with service. The meat and cheese plate appetizer was loaded, more then I have seen on an appetizer plate. They seemed to have a very extensive wine list. The ambiance is perfect Italian. I... More

SERIOUSLY folks, if you read my reviews they r mostly positive and I try to look for the good in every place...but MAN! I really tried here. My wife and I dined there last Saturday. I have to say that it was a lot of hype. We wanted to dine at an Italian Restuarant and were looking for a filet... More

Great ambiance! Great Service! Fresh ingredients! This italian inspired restaurant is worth the trip, wait whatever. The Spinach Ravioli with house made sausage is wonderful! The Pork Medallions amazing. Others in our party had seafood dishes that were amazing as well. We'll go back for sure!

We plan to go back to this restaurant when in Santa Barbara. The food is excellent as is the service and ambiance. The homemade ravioli w/roasted eggplant and goat cheese, fresh tomato sauce w/basil and aged ricotta cheese was out of this world. We also enjoyed the hand shaped pasta w/sausage, tomato & pecorino and one of the specials for... More

My spouse and I are foodies. We love great restaurants. This one fits the bill. It's tiny and a bit cramped but the food is fantastic. We ate with another couple and everybody was raving about their apps and their mains. Truly one of the best meals any of us had ever had. The service is fun and casual but... More

We went to Olio e Limone Ristorante based on the recommendation of John from A White Jasmine Inn. When we arrived, there was only one other table with diners. We do dine relatively early - a little before 6. We were greeted with do you have reservations - looking around we thought the place is empty, why ask. But I... More

Really enjoyed our dinners at Olio E Limone! Attentive but relaxed service. Nice atmoshphere, and delicious food. We had a homemade ravioli that was light and delicious, tender and tasty roasted chicken and a fresh salad. Everything was great. No complaints. Would gladly return to try more entrees!
