Reviews for Olio Pizzeria in Santa Barbara, CA
I had been to Olio Pizzeria a number of times in the past. In the past I really enjoyed the food. I don't know what changed but... the quality went way down. The dough was just mediocre. The cheese selection went to a pretty bland mostly mozzarellablend. The highlights was the wait staff who were super nice even after my son broke two glasses. Read more
When I’m in the mood for a casual date night, but still want excellently prepared food, I go here (regularly). Pizzas are a... great choice with delicious variety. Decent wines for pairing. Good dessert as well. This food tastes the closest to what Iencounter on trips to Italy than most other Italian-American restaurants. Read more
Used to love going here several years ago but the food quality has really gone down. The salad and pizza we had was pretty... mediocre for the price (ended up spending $150 on pizza, arugula and some wine!) I felt pretty disappointed with everything wehad-- it lacked flavor, the sauce seemed weak, the veggies didn't taste high quality and the pizza dough was nothing special. Ihad the GF pizza and my friend had the regular. Not worth the price. Also feel and continue to feel weird about any restaurantthat has passive aggressive comments in the front about short staffing and blaming it on "folks not wanting to work anymore."People want to work for people who respect them. After Olio has franchised I do not care to keep coming back. Read more
That delicious Italian food was a real treat for our European souls. My wife and I had dinner for the second time at this... pizzeria. Every time the food was fresh, delicious, and truly Italian. They provided fresh ingredients, trained waitpersons, anda good atmosphere. The prices are fair, so I totally recommend it. Read more
Been consistent for years, never a bad time, good beer imports and wine. They have cocktails too. Excellent cheese selection,... chef's sampler charcuterie is not a mistake. They are seating people again.....rock! Read more
For us this was a special dinner, because we are celebrating our Christmas (in Brazil is tradition a supper of cream)! We chose... Olio Pizzeria for this celebration and had one of the best restaurants of our trip. Tasty food, super nice atmosphere like wewere at Nona's house. Highly recommend this restaurant! Read more
Elegant, romantic, comfortable- a wonderful dining experience. My husband says his veal ravioli was "amazing" & that guy loves... pasta. I really enjoyed the Beef tenderloin, arugula & potato tart w/ the perfect amount of truffle. Cocktails & dessert were anextra indulgence that should not be missed. The panacotta was perfect.
