Best Family Style Restaurants in Santa Barbara

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Can’t wait to return!

Such a special place in Santa Barbara and a great addition to the dining scene. The food, service & ambiance are fantastic. The flavors and selections are creative, fresh & delicious! The level of consistency is what makes Secret Bao one of the best places to dine in SB.

The food was delicious and the service was amazing. They were incredibly kind and accommodating, and made great recommendations on food and wine.

Outstanding!!! This is a locally owned French bistro with exceptional cuisine. It’s an excellent value too!

Amazing authentic Italian dinner! A well established family owned restaurant in the heart of Santa Barbara. Classic Italian music playing while enjoying free table bread with a glass of wine. Able to share a Cesar salad without additional cost. Both the beef rib ravioli with meat sauce and the angel hair spaghetti pomodoro were incredible! Topped off dinner with the spumoni covered in chocolate-unbelievable! Will go here every time we visit Santa Barbara for sure!
