Reviews for Ca'Dario Goleta in Goleta, CA
Seems good. The chicken rotisserie was very dry and over cooked for my friend so he couldn't eat it and the owner took it off... the check. Good service. Nice ambiance and cool chef get up all cooking in front of you and very silent no shouting. I'll beback to try some more Read more
We love this Italian restaurant near UCSB! Food here is very authentic, service is good too.....
This is our first time in this Italian restaurant. It had a nice ambiance. It had outdoor seating; however, it was chilly... especially during dinner so we sat inside & had a view of the open cooking area. Our server was very nice and she spoke Italianto the other staff which gave the place an authentic atmosphere. They had good wine selection, though on the expensive sideeven for a glass of wine. We enjoyed our appetizers, entrees, and dessert. Read more
Ordered the tartare appetizer, a pasta, and a pizza. The tartare and pasta were decent, but the pizza was a miss. Pretty... soggy/damp and folded in on itself while eating it. Toppings on the pizza just kinda thrown on, with half of some slices havingno toppings while all the toppings were clumped in the center. For a relatively expensive place, the atmosphere felt quitecasual and the table was super wobbly. Read more
Plenty of seating, different eating areas sectioned off. Busy, contemporary feel. The clam and pasta dish was confused with no... flavor or wine sauce. It was basically clams and pasta with clam juice and nothing else. Meatballs were a bit on the dry side.Caesar salad was crunchy, though it lacked anchovies. Nice wine list, nice menu, and great team service. The pizza dough wasexcellent though it needed more pizza sauce to balance with the thick mozzarella. Read more
The best kept secret in the Goleta valley. Absolutely the best pasta and veggies in town. Always fresh baked Italian bread on... the table with the real virgin” olive oil and balsamic, accompanied with the fresh grate parmigiana from the importer. Besidesthe fantastic selection of California and direct Italian imported wines, they got the best Italian beers on tap. Don’t passup the appetizers, the Romana Cesar salad is fantastically, chopped and dressed, (right down to the croutons, and crackedpepper) always order the capreese , the organic thick sliced sweet tomato’s, topped with the fluffiest Buffalo mozzarella,capped with a leaf of grown there basil , and the lightest sprinkle of oregano. Garnished with the lightest zippyest olivesimaginable, (yes there is such an olive) [it sounds like the simplest but they make it majic] . (Ask for more oil and balsamic)for a sharper tap. The soups are always fresh (if they don’t have it ....it’s cause they sold it all.) always ask about thespecials, and don’t shy away from the fresh fish selection because it is........ “Calamari” “meatballs”“porterhouse” . Expect the service unexpected, they know how to serve people there, like you’re family. Come to eat, relaxand enjoy ,then don’t forget the tiramisu, with the coffee Americano. Or a desert wine (Make reservations on a weekend or ifthere’s 4 or more) (expect them to speak Italian if you do) (when your done thank Mickey, and the staff, cause you’llremember the experience) il mio italiano preferito al mondo Read more
Love this place! Our servers were Aleksander (yes, I think the spelling is correct) and George (not his European name, but... close). The food was excellent and the wine list was extensive. The restaurant is larger than you see from the entrance areawith plenty of space in the dining room. Service was excellent and at a slow pace to allow us to enjoy a wonderful meal. Welook forward to a return visit the next time we are in town. Read more
Great atmosphere, bustling with activity. Love the open kitchen and friendly staff. Robust menu of thoughtfully curated entrees,... appetizers, and desserts. Savory antipasto, succulent halibut, crispy thin-crusted pizza, and pillowy ravioli. The clay potchicken and the lasagna are outstanding also. Read more
