Had a fabulous meal here on the patio, which was very peaceful on a Friday night. By contrast, the interior was very lively, crowded and noisy. Great food. Wonderful, friendly service. Favorites were the crudo and beef carpaccio. Least favorite was the chicken paella but only because the amount of paprika was overpowering (I’m not a paprika fan). Looking forward to visiting again. Very easy for celiacs and gf eaters.

We were not ready for the phenomenal service and great drinks. The food was delicious and easily marked for gf (perfect for my wife who has celiac). Definitely try the wings with buffalo sauce (the yuzu touch makes it bright and tart), their coconut shrimp (divine and gf!!), and their bison burger (cooked perfectly through and through). Watch the video, see the presentation on the drinks. My wife loved her Mai tai, and my whisky drink which I cannot remember the name of, was fabulous in all the ways. Make sure to ask for Aaron, he was awesome and made wonderful suggestions. And then go for a beautiful stroll down the pier when you’re all done. It’s a perfect introduction to Santa Barbara.

Loved the food, atmosphere, and our server Zack was amazing! I am gluten free and Zack was very knowledgeable and reassured me that he would take every precaution to ensure my meal was gluten free. We got the ahi tuna crudo, butter leaf salad, and catch of the day which all had excellent summer flavors and were the perfect portion sizes. Definitely recommend.

My wife was looking for a gluten-free pizza place and found it on Google. We didn’t realize that we were in an area in Santa Barbara called The Funk Zone, which was a very neat area that was very lively and fun to experience. This place has a walk up window where you order and all seating is outside. The food was very delicious, and it was just a nice atmosphere overall.

I cannot complain, and hope more people start going here. I ordered an amazing Gluten Free Crust, Hawaiian style pizza (The Meigs Rd Pizza. Soft, charred Neapolitan crust with tangy BBQ sauce, succulent ham, crispy bacon, juicy pineapple, and sharp red onions with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro. I replaced the babecue sauce with their tasty marinara sauce, along with sliced jalapenos. You can order their different pizzas with any of their crust options. They also have appetizers, sandwiches, salads, and I think she said they have pasta, or are hoping to start serving pasta dishes soon. There are TVs near the bar area, so you can watch your favorite team. As of now (May 2025), their beer $7, and wine $9 (and champagne) are cans and bottles. If I counted correctly, they have 20 tap handles, but the entire system needs repairs. Let's help them and give them our business, and hopefully they will be able to get the taps & lines repaired soon I cannot say enough about this tasty pizza & great service. I really wish I could eat wheat flour again; Because their deep dish pizza looked amazing, and was screaming my name. The owner said she would like to try and learn how to make gluten-free deep dish. Maybe one day I can have one from them. The server and the owner were both absolutely amazing, and I cannot wait to eat there again. I live 2.5 hours away, and found this place just because they were open late, and had a gluten-free crust option. I have to be down there again this Thursday for work, and I already know where I am going to eat.

I was so pleased from when I looked for restaurants in Santa Barbara all the way to paying my check. They have good pictures for the menu online, so we picked this place over at least 4 other places that popped up on my search. Juvencio greet us at front and took us immediately to a table. The place is very clean, has its own relaxing ambiance. All the personnel was great and Juvencio was our server. My waifs and I learned that the place has been open for over 28 years and after our experience we now know why. Food was delicious, I love good Italian food but never been to Italy, my wife has and says she approves on the taste and the quality of the food. I had scampi and she had salmon with gluten free fettuccini Alfredo. I’m still having my leftovers because the portions are large. Overall, we had a great experience and look forward to coming back when we are in Santa Barbara again.

I highly recommend this spot for ice cream. The flavors were delicious and you can really taste how fresh the fruit used in the flavors are. I would also like to say how wonderful the staff is. I have celiac disease and as soon as the employee heard they offered to go to the back of the store and scoop from a fresh tub to avoid cross contamination. This was so incredibly kind. I have never requested this at any ice cream place because I didn’t want to inconvenience the staff so having them offer it here was so nice. I can’t wait to come back.
