My husband and I discovered Pane e Vino in Montecito 20 years ago and have been going back whenever we have a chance to escape LA and relax in Santa Barbara. The restaurant is tucked into a quiet corner of Montecito and has excellent Italian food. We are vegetarians and stick to the pasta entrees, but we'll try different appetizers... More

We always like to find small quaint places to eat, not the local chain we can eat at home. Found this on our gps and had a hard time finding it situated in the back of strip mall with no signage at all. Seems to be filled with locals as tourists seemed to be noticed right away. Service and food... More

Several years ago, a friend from Santa Barbara surprised me with a rare treat, a lunch in an excellent Italian restaurant. I've taken cooking classes in Italy, and this restaurant surpassed my wildest expectations! More

Pane e Vino feels like a trattoria in a small Italian town. The Veal with Tuna Sauce appetizer was excellent; The mushroom and truffle pasta had a great nose but not much flavor. It was a good but not great evening More

Excellent value for money from start to finish. We dined here for a birthday dinner. The service was friendly and attentive and the food very well prepared. I would highly recommend the fish soup which is really more like a stew in a saffron sauce - delicious. For dessert, be sure to have the lemon sorbet. More

We get hungry just thinking of Pan e Vino! From the wine list to the desert menu, this place is a delight. Table service that ranks among the best in town and a homey dining room. Highly recommended! More
