“ A relatively new eatery along Linden, the main drag of Carpinteria. I had to go find some things in my favorite antique shop Homestead and passed this place on the way. The cooking smells were divine. Decided to go light for dinner and this was an excellent choice. It could have been blah, but it was SO good. Full of fresh yummy flavors. The prices are reasonable (11 for this dish), the staff was charming. Inside and outside dining. ”
“ Bar none! Delicious spaghetti with yyuuggee meatballs to die for! I haven’t had delicious spaghetti with meatballs in a very, very look time like that. The staff were courteous and they were always available. Such an underrated place to eat. Everyone! This is a MUST go there to eat delicious Italian food! ”
“ Go here and get the eggplant sandwich, even if your aren't vegetarian and even if you are just visiting Santa Barbara, drive there and get it. Its that memorable. Took a while to arrive at the table but it was worth the wait due the care involved in making this masterpiece. Follow up edit one week later. We went back for the same eggplanty goodness and got the meatball sando too to split. Exceptional too. Its enough food for 3 or 4 people though. ”
“ This place is great, and I would highly recommend. The ingredients are high quality and the food is prepared with care. Had the grilled eggplant sandwich, and it was phenomenal. I'm usually not one to gush about veggie options, but this was a memorable sando done right. Salad was super fresh, service friendly and outside seating pleasant. Next time we're back in Carp, will return for more ”
“ My daughter and I ate here 1st night staying at state beach. She had the fettuccine w/ chicken. I had the shrimp linguine. Both dishes were awesome. The garlic bread is different, not my style. But u can't make everyone happy. Great place, great prices, and great atmosphere. The dude at the record store up the block recommended it to us. Everything was 5 . ”
“ Very simple but good, not a huge menu which gives them a chance to concentrate on what they serve, I’ve had 3 pasta dishes all perfectly Al dente. Homemade sausage sandwich and grilled chicken salad hit just right. ”
