Reviews for Ristorante Italiano in Santa Cruz, CA
Recently a friend took me out for an early meal in appreciation of helping her at her local convenient store..Long story short,... the B-40 Plaza's first restaurant was our families..My Mom and Dad retired in 1985 from there. I could never go to Ristorantebecause it was too emotional. Well, I think my Dad guided us here. I can't say enough good things about our experience. All ofyour staff was so kind and each person greeted us with a smile especially our wonderful waitperson "Laura". She was so kind andmade our experience perfect along with our meal and drinks..I WILL always come back now that my first step in our old restaurantwas a success! We looked up and toasted to Dad. I know he felt the same as we did..Mom is still alive and I will share this willher soon. Thank you so much. Laura, you are the best. Read more
Really good Italian food but on the expensive side. The mint ice cream pie is the best dessert on the dessert menu. The portions... are big and can be shared. Indoor and outdoor seating are available. Parking is not an issue with huge lot in front and in backof the building. Friendly staff and great service. Read more

Highly recommend the place.It would be better to make a reservation else there will be a long wait. Read more

The upgraded interior is nice and not so different as to change the vibe. I ordered one of my favorite menu items the salmon... margarita,, it was over cooked and hard. The other menu items were pretty middle of the road with the artichoke heart appetizerthe only 5 of 5. The waitstaff were efficient but not very welcoming, overall an okay experience. Read more
