I was in town for my cousin's graduation at UCSB and she recommended this place for dinner. I was hesitant going downtown during such a busy weekend so I called to see if I could make a reservation. The girl who I talked to said they didn't since they were so busy but the wait was 45 minutes and she could put my name down on the waiting list. That worked for us. Party of 6 please. We waited about 10 more minutes upon arriving at the restaurant. The place was insanely packed on a Friday night during a college graduation weekend so I expected it. We started with the Roasted Garlic with Baked Brie Antipasti. The garlic was perfectly roasted but the brie didn't look completely melty and gooey like I prefer it. Overall, it was still tasty. The Marsala Risotto was so yummy. It tasted rich but in a good way. I was only able to eat half of the dish. My fiance had the Tre Formaggio and he preferred my dish better. I had to fend him off from eating the rest so I could have leftovers for lunch the next day. From what I could tell on everyone's plates, no food portions looked skimpy. Service was fast and friendly considering how busy the place was. The prices of all the dishes were surprisingly lower than what I was expecting for a nice restaurant downtown. I'll definitely try this place again if I'm ever in town again. read more

Our first two choices were packed with wait times exceeding 30 minutes. When we got to Pascucci, we should have trusted our instincts and walked back to Ca Dario. We felt like we were in a cheesy Vegas hotel restaurant, the 24 hour variety with a menu almost as big as Cheesecake Factory. Our waitress seemed to care less and was going through the motions. I don't think she smiled once. They seem to operate on volume and not on quality/attention. We had the Marsala Risotto and the Eggplant Parmigiana. Sadly, the best thing about my meal was my Moretti (which was on tap). Summing up the experience - Mediocre. read more

I loved this place! My boyfriend took me to Santa Barbara for the first time and we were hungry & didn't know where to eat. We had no idea what to eat then suddenly this amazing aroma of garlic blessed our noses & we HAD to go in. We were seated right away & got the dinner special where you can choose the entree, wine or beer, salad, and dessert for like 22 bucks. Such a good deal. The Caesar salad was very garlicky... just the way I like it :) . Wine was superb. Food was delicious. Tiramisu was amazing. What I really liked about this place was the waiter, I don't reminder his name but he was AMAZING. Like genuinely nice & super chill. He knew what he was doing & not just working on his tip. Definitely will be going back! read more

I came here for lunch on a business trip in town and loved it! I think it was my favorite meal of all my business trips. First and foremost, I loved that it's a local, independent restaurant and they use all local vendors. The staff were all very nice. We waited for a table outside, which was great. I had the grilled swordfish with mango salso and ginger-seseame risotto. It was so incredibly delicious! My friend had the pasta pascucci, which was also great. I didn't try any desserts, so can't speak to that. But the lunch was fabulous and I will most definitely return if and when in Santa Barbara again! read more

If you're going to open your kitchen up to the public, at least keep it clean and well organized. The cooks line was filthy and disheveled. The service... yikes. It was terrible. I think our waitress must have been eating her lunch at the same time we were trying to eat ours. She was never around. The busboys would hit a few nearby tables to refill water but skip the others. Other servers had the same "tunnel" vision; avoided diners that weren't at their table. Asking another server for help wasn't helpful. Instead of simply fetching a fork, they would go in the back of the restaurant and tell our server that we need a fork. Which we would then wait for... lots of the flatware was dirty. I got the strong impression that the servers see customers as "mine" or "yours" and not as Pascucci's. Bummer. The food is good. But the garlic bread reminds me of the crappy restaurant in the movie "The Big Night". The bruschetta were delicious. The salmon filled ravioli (Umbria on the menu) were ok but tasted like they were mass produced. The creme brulee dessert was very good. Pascucci was good a few years ago. Today it is tired. I get the feeling that it was sold/bought as an investment because there's not much love left. It will continue to fill up because of the location, but the owners clearly don't take pride in running a good restaurant. read more

*not a food review* Came into this restaurant and was directed all the way to the back and seated at a dirty booth. Looked through the menu for 5 minutes, but no waiter. Waited another 5 minutes and someone came by and put a small basket of bread, but still no waiter. Waited another 5 minutes and still no one. Got up and left because I did not want to wait. read more

My favorite Italian restaurant of all time! I love Pascucci. I've only been here three times (because it is quite a drive from where I live) but I always order the salmon pasta. It is amazing! This quaint little restaurant on State Street in Goleta (basically Santa Barbara) is nicely decorated with a dominate bar that greets you at the entrance. The lightly is exceptionally dim for setting the mood on the booths, tables, and outdoor seating. I would consider Pascucci to be very romantic or even a cute place to have dinner with your best girl friend. The pricing is reasonable as compared to other Italian restaurant and the food is great for what you're paying for. There is usually a wait during on-nights but its never really too long. Time can easily be passed by strolling up or down State Street. read more

My girlfriend and I came here, and it was pretty enjoyable. The place was decorated pretty nicely, and the drinks were super strong. The garlic bread was good, I wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had. I had the tiger shrimp stuffed with pesto, and wrapped in prosciutto. It was pretty good, and she had the pasta carbonara, which was even better. I would go again! read more

I'm actually giving it 2 stars instead of 1 because they had good service and the downtown Italian feel was quite enjoyable. I was craving pasta like no other so my friend decided to treat me out to some Pascucci since i never tried it....oh my, never again. The garlic bread seemed like it was loaded with butter and garlic and yet it didn't taste like it had enough garlic. Personally i thought it was bland and too oily. I ordered the Siena and my friend ordered the Palmero. We both took a bite of our pasta and knew instantly we picked the wrong place to eat. Spinach pasta is not supposed to taste like cardboard drenched in oil. I just ended up only eating the chicken breast, although it was mediocre. I also tried some of my friend's Palmero and it was just as disappointing. The pasta had absolutely no flavor, rather all the flavors were stuffed into the shrimps. Maybe that's the way it's meant to be but IMO the flavors were not balanced so the dish was off. Thank goodness I didn't pay for that dinner. read more

Not the best place for food in Santa Barbara, but the service is always great, and the bread. Oh the bread. Plus, they were really great with my dog (bringing him water, giving him pets on the head, and talking to him in that baby voice). I do wish they had a more extensive wine selection though. read more

Crème brûlée was delish. Service a little slow but expected during covid. Great ambiance and outdoor seating

First Impression: The outside of Pascucci was ridiculously busy so we decided to eat there. Gracious host, very friendly. We sat in a small booth for two that had beaded and cloth curtains. We thought it was weird but it did offer plenty of privacy since the booths are so close togehter. The Menu: Very easy to navigate through. The main ingredients we clearly listed after each dish. Had an excellent variety of food. The Restaurant: Many, many small booths. The servers and bus boys are super busy so they are flying through the restaurant. The restrooms were clean. What We Ate: Marinara sauce and Gorgonzola dressing to dip our garlic bread in. The Bellagio (bowtie pasta with garlic cream sauce) and Marsala (risotto with chicken). Toffee Brownie with Expresso Gelato. The Food: EXCELLENT. The marinara sauce and gorgonzola dressing were two separate dips for our bread. They were both very tasty. Our food was hot and delicious. There was plenty of meat and vegetables in our dishes. They had good portion sizes. There are no words to describe our dessert, it was beyond delicious. We had an enormous brownie and two HUGE scoops of espresso gelato. The Server: Tood (our server) was great. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and suggested a few dishes. The bus boys were very prompt and we never ran out of water. The Pricing: We had an appetizer, two separate meals and dessert for $36. The prices were very reasonable. On average, the pasta dishes were $10-$17. CONS: There really weren't any. The food was excellent, service was good and the restaurant was cute. read more

I really enjoyed this restaurant when we first moved to Santa Barbara, but the quality of food and service has drastically declined. The last three times we've gone (I always like to give places a few chances before deciding I'm done with them), the service was terrible, the food was bland (one time the food had clearly been reheated in a microwave), and the prices were way too high for what we got. It's really a shame because the interior of the place is quite nice and has so much potential. If you're looking for Italian, I would skip it and try a different eatery on State Street. read more

Six years ago during my teenage adolescence, I went to Pascucci during a girls' weekend trip to Santa Barbara. Six years later - aged, wiser, and more mature, I came back to Pascucci for another girls weekend trip to Santa Barbara. I coincidentally ended up at the same restaurant. The food here was okay. I have had better Italian food elsewhere. The best thing about Pascucci is its ambiance. It is a small place on State Street that is super cozy and homey and picture-esque. The interior is aged and vintage and feels authentically Italian. Our waiter was aged and vintage as well, although he was not authentically Italian. We encountered a few communication problems with him..... one being the white wine spritzer I ordered which he happened to take as 'four glasses of water." But in the end everything we ordered was received, so all was still good in the neighborhood. Probably the most notable thing here is the cheese. Highly, highly recommend the Brie & Roasted Garlic appetizer, like my friend, Emily M. says, down below. She was with me on this said Santa Barbara trip. The brie and garlic appetizer was devoured by us in approximately less than five minutes. Refrain from gorging on the freshly baked complimentary bread that is given, as all of the carbs in the end will for sure make you feel like you are not 23 years old and make you want to go home shortly before midnight. My actual entree was decent. It was capellini pasta with sundried tomatoes and shrimp in a white wine butter sauce. It was okay. But throwing sundried tomatoes in anything will make it taste better. Overall, the food here is good. Not spectacular, but good. But I would highly recommend coming here for the dining experience. It's a great place to start the night off in SB. read more

Definitely not worth the wait. This has got to be the most overrated restaurant in Downtown Santa Barbara. A friend suggested it and I took her advice because I was craving Italian food. I didn't bother to check the reviews until I was actually in line waiting to be seated, trying to scope out some popular dishes. First of all, the wait was way too long for a restaurant that isn't even good! I don't get it. Were all these people waiting in line tourists that didn't know any better? They don't accept reservations so its a first come, first serve basis. Secondly, when we were seated, we were seated in this AWKWARD half booth facing another 2-person table that was curtained off for privacy. If you've been here, you know which seats I'm referring to. Hella. Awkward. Ok so the food. I'm a huge fan of Italian food and will be very critical. But even if you're not a harsh critic and lover of Italian food, you have to admit that the pasta here sucks. This restaurant acts and looks Italian, but the food is definitely American-Italian. All 3 pastas that were ordered were absolutely terrible. No one could finish their food. We ordered the Pasta Pascucci, Palermo w/ shrimp, and the Bolognese. So the Pascucci was the most "decent" as in I was able to get through about half of it, but the rest were pretty terrible. The Palermo was so bland and the sauce on the Bolognese tasted almost as if it had gone bad. To be fair though, the antipasto was a solid 4 stars. We ordered the antipasto sampler where you get an array of your signature Italian appetizers. I would just order that as my main dish and ditch the pasta. The garlic bread they served was also very good. read more

Spent my Saturday night here and regret every minute of it. I wanted to sit inside, but the only available table for two was either stuffed next to the bathroom or by the busser station. We opted for the busser station table, although later regretting it. Our server took 10 minutes to come to the table to introduce herself. My first question was, of course, whether or not they make the pasta fresh in house. Answer? NO. Prepackaged and dried, ravioli is frozen, tortellini is freeze dried. I ended up getting a pasta dish anyway... The meat sauce was hearty and good by the portions were extremely small. I did not feel as though I got $16 worth of food.... I could have bought the same ingredients and made the same meal for half the cost. My friend opted for a chicken dish with a white wine and caper sauce. Everything on her plate came out warm bordering on cold. The server never once checked up on us. We literally flagged a busser down in order to get our food reheated at least 10 min after it arrived. Once we received the chicken back, it was now extremely hot - likely microwaved. And much of he sauce dried up in the microwave process so we had to request more, to which our server was visibly frustrated at the request and went back to get a 1/2oz ramekin of the sauce - obviously not enough for the size of the chicken. She did not check back up on us after that. 30 minutes after we had finished our food and our plates had been cleared, there was still no bill in sight. I finally went to find the host to get our bill. We payed, server made no apology at the wait but was still visibly upset that we went and got the host for our bill. On my way out, I told the host about our experience, and noticed a female manager in the bar doing shots and drinking a corona. She made eye contact and rolled her eyes at me. The host was unable to do anything more to help us, and did not offer to reverse charges on meal either. Biggest waste of $17, I will never return or recommend and I have shared my experience with many others. Its a shame to see a business with such a great location treating its customers so poorly. read more

This place is one of our favorite restaurants to visit when we are in Santa Barbara. They have great quality Italian cuisine. Although the place is a bit dark, it's always good to visit. This place has been our go-to-Italian restaurant. Definitely recommend. We visit Santa Barbara yearly, and this restaurant is a one we always have a visit. Servers are good and helpful when ordering. Classic spaghetti and soup is our favorite. We suggest sitting outside, near the street. read more

This is very mediocre Italian food. I'm kind of baffled by the great reviews, actually. We liked the cheesy garlic bread, tasty, but not very fresh, seems to be packaged rather than made on-site. The Mediterraneo salad was good, but they charged us $2 to split it. We would have been happy to eat it from one plate. I got the ravioli sampler, which I liked, it was fun to try 4 different kinds. But it was pretty greasy. Our waitress didn't seem to know what she was doing. The service was very slow, and she was not at all friendly. Also, when I ordered an almond latte, she came over a while later to tell me that they were out of almond syrup. So I changed my order to a mocha. Literally 30 seconds later, it arrived, and I'm 95% positive that they just added chocolate syrup to the latte. And they still charged me $0.25 for the almond syrup. We also ordered chocolate creme brulee. Bad choice. It was pretty much chocolate pudding with a crust on top. If forced to go there again I would probably get appetizers and a salad, and not plan to get out in a timely manner. I have no idea why this place is popular enough to have the kind of wait-time people complain about. read more

I just had lunch here for the second time. My fiancé works just around the corner from here and loves it. I decided to order a special they were offering which was the sirloin wrapped in Italian bacon. I love red meat! I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out cooked perfectly. Unfortunately I was unable to cut through it due to large nerves or vanes in the meat. The two bites I was able to cut off were very chewy. I hate to send food back but I thought it must have just been a bad piece and if I ordered another it would be fine. I was wrong. I let the server know the problem and he took it back. About 25 minutes later he came back and asked if he could butterfly the steak since it was taking so long. I ordered it medium rare. Why would they need to butterfly it?!?! The food finally came back out and was again tough to cut and now slightly over cooked. I was frustrated and wanted to leave. When our server dropped the check my meal was charged with no apology for the wait time and no offer to make it right. We ended up speaking with the manager who gave me a dirty look, removed my meal but then charged me for the 5 bites of vegetables I ate. I will never be back again. read more

This is kind of a destination dinner in Santa Barbara. If you're in town, swing by Pascucci. Their garlic bread is absolutely fantastic. All their food is well-prepared and delicious. The restaurant itself is deceptively large. I've always wanted to sit in one of their two curtained off tables for two (they're up against the wall, literally behind some large curtains) but have never had the opportunity to do so. There's not a whole lot to say except that they make great food and it's a Santa Barbara favorite. read more

Meh. Walk on by.. Service was frazzled, food was confused, bread was dead. Gross bathroom. Table to seat-height ratio was just plain strange- thanks for an extremely mediocre meal and experience. read more

unfortunately not what I remember. Been coming here on and off over 10 years and today was a disappointment. The waiter was the only amazing part of the experience. The food was bland. Pizza under cooked , risotto under seasoned and oily, the tiramisu was awful frozen junk. The coffee is a thousand times better at 7/11 than here. The bartender very heavy handed if you like that. The garlic bread was ok. Honestly it's the last time I am coming here. So sad that it's not my favorite place in SB anymore. Tone to move on. The bathrooms were disgusting and wet floors. There is no excuse for that either. If I could have rated the place in - 0 I would . read more

See all

Ordered the chicken with capers with marinara pasta. The food was really good but my chicken was a little cold. Also ordered the chicken parmesan which I wasn't a huge fan of. Service was good and quick. Food is average. read more

Best Italian food in Santa Barbara hands down. Absolutely the best ingredients and flavor. I've been eating here for over twenty years. When I have dinners to go to I always pick up a few dishes and they're always a hit! The bread is delicious too!! I also had had them cater my last staff appreciation luncheon at work. The staff loved it!!! read more

Bestie Michelle K. also went here.. what a coincident!! This place was picked for Saturday dinner. Let's go straight to the review! The place has plenty of room for both small and large parties. The walls resembled a very rustic feel with the yellows and oranges. I do have to commend them on their decor because for a while, I thought I was dining in Italy. The fireplace was a great touch to the place. I think I enjoyed the place more than I enjoyed the food. I ordered the Risotto Marsala. My dish was a bit on the cheesier side. I wasn't able to get any other kind of flavor other than cheese. The risotto was a little over cooked. The chicken was the best part of my dish, nice and juicy! My ordered a pasta with artichoke and roasted bell pepper. Her dish was very good! I wanted to steel it and give her mine! We also ordered the appetizer sampler which was a bit small for seven people. The bruschetta was pretty good. The mozzarella was AMAZING!!! This place was pretty average considering I just tasted some bomb ass Italian food several weeks ago in LA!!! read more

Just finished eating here and the food was good and the service from our waiter kevin was amazing but when it came to pay we had asked ahead of time if we could seperate tables and not pay gratuity so we can give a good tip but the female manager comes out makes us pay tells us that this is what we do in our country and next time you shouldnt come out in large groups?, who sais that i wouldnt recommend this place the management will just do as they see fit and just disrespect customers at the end i think thats an absolute horrid practice i just wish they would take owner ship that we had made arrangements with the waiter befote hand but than thwy make us pay fpr it because they didnt agree at the end horrid service great food I just wanna add i think the lady here is racist making comments like that this is 2022 id appreciate less of that by now More thqn obvious we wont be back and i would not recommend anyone else to come here and be abused by this woman from what ive read before shes consistent at this read more

The last two times I have been through Santa Barbara my husband and I have made a stop here for dinner. The food is great and the service was perfect. Last night we were not very hungry so we decided to split a meal. there was no additional fee for the split and they actually brought it on two plates for us. It was ravioli and they actually cut one ravioli in half to make it all even, LOL. The garlic bread is addictive and they bring it to the table as long as you order food. They will keep bringing more if you ask for it. I also got a small caesar salad which was tasty if you like fresh garlic (and I do!). We both ordered a cocktail off the special drink menu. My husband got a tangerine margarita which neither one of us liked. I ordered a mojito which I have to say was one of the best mojitos I have ever had. They also offer a raspberry mojito which I would have tried but I didn't want to spend another $8.50 for a drink. My only complaint would be the noise level and the traffic in this place. No matter where you sit you may feel like you are in the middle of a freeway. Not a quiet place to take a date and talk. read more

I can't believe that a place this pretty and popular is as reasonably priced as it is. I'm really grateful for the gluten free pasta options and the gluten free pizza. I feel like a normal person to be able to order one of these GF dishes. I love their marinara sauce, I love their bread and olive oil back when I wasn't gluten free. I've been going there since they opened. Pascucci's is comfortable, tasty, has nice long term staff and a nice vibe. For the record they buy all many ingredients as possible locally and organically. That counts for a lot with me. read more

This place USED to be great. Went here once or twice a week with my dad. We decided to give it a another shot after a few years of not going. Showed up to the new location after they have been open for almost a week. There is still what looks like graffiti on the window. The Cadiz art is still inside and their sign is just haphazardly placed leaning on a wall. We were sat outside and given ONE menu that had no cover page, and was out of order. The host said would be back in just a moment with another menu. 6 minutes later a busser comes by and says he can bring us water if we would like and had no menu or bread. We asked for water, bread and another menu. After another 6 minutes of no one dining around we decided that this was the exact reason we had not been here in so long. We got up and left. read more

I have no idea why people think this place is so great, or why people want to leave IV to eat or why it was voted "Best Place to Eat When Parents are Paying" in the Daily Nexus. Seriously it is just the Olive Garden in a cuter space. read more

Lunch = inexpensive. Dinner = inexpensive. This place can get a little crowded at night...be patient. Put your name in and mingle along State Street. This is one of my all time favorite places. The food is outstanding...the service can be hit or miss, but most of the time it has been good. The desserts are hmmm...how can I say....amazing? Yeah, nothing short of amazing. Tiramisu, creme brule', orgasms. The more I type, the more my mouth is beginning to water...the bread is awesome. I thought about taking away a star for all the chics who dine here that try so damn hard to look so good....it's sad. Girls...it's an Italian restaurant with kids and families...tame it down and keep up with the Effexor. Summertime in Santa Barbara IS sitting on the patio at Pascucci, sipping on a glass of chianti and eating some delicious pasta! read more

Ok so food seems good. Salad great. Wine had a fly in it. Chicken look wonderful. Will I come back... NO read more

Pascucci - Bottoms up! - Italian Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Definitely Overrated. Food was mediocre for about $15 a plate..The service kind of sucked too. There was a weird unpleasant smell as you walk into the restaurant, it lingered throughout my experience there. Definitely won't be coming back. Tried it once and that's all I'm willing to do at this place. My friend ordered their daily special or something, with chicken and fettucine?...it looked so unappetizing.. I can't believe they're even serving something like that... There are probably better Italian places for the same price. Don't waste your time coming here. read more

This place is good specially when going with friends. Pastas and appetizers were good. They have a lunch happy hour, which it great it includes a drink. The inside is spacious and opaque. Customers service is not very good or server took a while to help us and it was empty. We didn't really mind since we were talking. Nice and quiet compared to other places. read more

The pasta was amazing! The staff was very nice and helpful. The bread amazing as always! Definitely coming back

Food is delicous, ambience is alright, but tolerable for how good the food is. Service was quick too, my girlfriend and i didn't have to wait long for our food to be brought to us at all. Upon being seated you're brought garlic bread which is bomb! I ordered a cup of soup to dip the garlic bread in, which made it even better. Our waitress was constantly bringing us more bread and refilling our water glasses which was a definite plus. For entrees, stay away from the pasta, it's not good here as states in other reviews. The paninis and salads are the way to go. The italian cobb panini is extremely tasty. It comes with grilled chicken, tomatoes, avocado, gorgonzola cheese, and pancetta all sandwiched between two large pieces of their garlic bread with your choice of a side salad or potatoes. For salads, i'd recommend the ahi tuna steak salad. The tuna is cooked perfectly, tender and juicy but not too raw. As far as ambience goes, the place is nice, but slightly cheesy looking. Also there are awkward half booths which you should avoid sitting in if possible. You'll know what i mean once you see them. The sink in the women's restroom didn't work, and the stall in the men's restroom didn't lock. Overall, five stars for the food and three stars for ambience. Service was good though so maybe 4 - 4.5 stars. The poor ambience is made up for by the food quality and the service. I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Wonderful Italian restaurant in Santa Barbara. I've been coming here for years and felt it was about time to review. I typically order from the "Specialita" section of the menu... Sienna, Chicken Piccata, Eggplant Parmigiana, and Capri are all amazing. The garlic bread is so good you have to remember that your meal is coming shortly. Like others have mentioned, the table service can sometimes be a little slow, but for a romantic night out is that so bad? What I usually do is grab a stool at either the bar or the counter along the kitchen when I'm on a schedule as service seems to be faster there. The details: clean - yes service - friendly and quick at the bar or counter food - good parking - parking lots and street bathroom - nice value - very good read more

Came here on a weeknight and the place was busy but we were seated immediately. We opted to sit outside and my only complaint is that the tables are tiny and with the breadbasket and entrees its hard to be comfortable. The food was incredible. To be honest I think we could have been just happy sitting there eating bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (ask for it, you won't regret it!!!) I ordered the Bellagio and that was amazing wish I hadn't stuffed my face with so much bread before so i could have enjoyed more. Additionally service was great! read more

Average Italian food in the main shopping area of Santa Barbara. Inside is pretty cozy, it feels like a welcoming house. I had some pasta and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't particularly spectacular. Service was okay, could have paid more attention (empty water glasses). The starter bread is pretty good though. Cheese bread is fresh and tasty, and you could probably fill up on that stuff before your main course. Prices are standard, no surprises. A standard and predictable restaurant. It's good if you are expecting some decent Italian food in the area. read more

Mangia! Mangia! This place was recommended by 3 friends when I asked where we should eat in Santa Barbara. I love the ambiance of State Street and this restaurant does not fall short of that. We were able to get a table for two right in front of the fireplace - it was so secluded and we felt like we were the only ones in the whole place! Actually I feel bad for the waiter who probably overheard from pretty intimate conversations (keep in mind we had just gone wine tasting and were still going...) ha. The garlic bread is FREE - and delicious!!! We got the caprese appetizer - YUM. I can't remember the exact names of what we ordered but my dish was fettuccine with chicken, artichoke hearts, and tomatoes in a white sauce. SO good. My hubby ordered the equivalent of a chicken marsala. He wasn't a fan but I tried it and thought it was great. I told him the alcohol diminished his taste buds. Next time we are in Santa Barbara we will come back! read more
