Rustic and sophisticated at the same time. This is not your typical
Italian restaurant. Be prepared for unusual and lusty flavors.
Eating here really felt like being in Italy. Didn't have
reservations but they were very accommodating and gracious; go early or make
reservations--this small, airy restaurant fills up fast!

I dined here for the first time in July of 2003. The food was excellent.
This is one of about a dozen places to go for a special occasion
in Santa Barbara. It's a smallish restaunt and a bit noisy
at times. But you'll most likely leave feeling you got your
money's worth for a great meal in an elegant, relaxed setting.

Many Italian restaurants are more standard in fare than here,
to this restaurant's benefit. Olio e Limone's food is very good,
but it doesn't try for the elegance of Northern Italy. We're still
in the south here. The room is small, pretty, but quite noisy due
to the very hard surfaces. (12/00)

Well there a lot of places to have Italian food in Santa Barbara,
and a number of them are good....BUT someone has to be #1..and
in my book Olio E Limone has taken over that spot. Located just
off State Street in the Victoria Court Center this place is simply
some of the best Italian food in town without an "attitude".
The Chef-Owner Alberto came from Prego in L.A. and his wife Elaine
have created a fine dining expierence. Although small, the restaurant
offers a comfortable atmosphere, good service and excellent,
excellent food. From the Antipasti, Pasta, Entrees, and home
made desserts you will find your choices difficult to make. But
since they are all very good....it is impossible to make a mistake.
Menu is backed by an excellent selection of California and Italian
wines.
For a special occassion or before the theater this is a place to
try......but I'd advise that reservations are a "must" especially
on weekends or when the Theater is having performances. ...
