“ Pascucci is located in downtown Santa Barbara. It was a quaint little restaurant on State street. Table was in between romantic and modern setting. The staff were friendly and Welcoming. We ordered the lunch special which came with a salad, lasagna , and drink. We also ordered their Pasta Pascucci (picture shown) which was delicious. My daughter loved it. I ordered their salmon dish, didn't like so I exchanged for the Pasta Pascucci. All in all it was a great little Italian restaurant. ”

“ This is our must hit spot every time we come to Santa Barbara. The food is great, service is good, and prices are amazingly reasonable. I remember when we used to wait in a long line to get a table, but then they got rid of their famous chocolate creme brule and it just isn't quite the same. It is however still awesome and the ravioli sampler is amazing! ”
“ 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 recently dined at this Italian/Mexican restaurant, and it exceeded all my expectations! The variety of vegetarian options was impressive, and the drinks were fantastic. The prices were reasonable, making it an excellent value for the experience. The free freshly baked garlic cheese bread they served was a delightful and mouthwatering start to the meal. The bruschetta was a true highlight with its fresh ingredients and flavorful toppings. The pizza and ravioli were both outstanding, delivering authentic tastes that left us craving for more. But what stood out the most was their impeccable service - the staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcomed. Additionally, the restaurant's ambiance was wonderful, creating a relaxed and inviting vibe. Highly recommended for a delightful dining experience! ”
