Amazing food! The bacon wrapped white asparagus was delicious, and the ravioli in brown butter and sage was exceptional. Highly recommend!

What an amazing Italian restaurant! Lasagna is the best lasagna I have ever eaten, and steak and tiramisu are also delicious! The restaurant has a good atmosphere and the waiters are very enthusiastic.I will come again if I have the chance.

Finally got to try this SB “establishment” - it did not disappoint! We always have the salmon dishes but tonight we had steak... Came again and this time enjoyed a fantastic calamari steak appetizer!

Dining at Ca Dario Santa Barbara is like stepping back in history. It features authentic Northern Italian cuisine expertly prepared. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Seating is limited, so reservations are encouraged. Outdoor seating is also available.
