Petrini's Restaurant

We've had nothing but good experiences here. We love it, our kids love it - great for the whole fam!

Management obviously doesn't care about how their restaurant is viewed. The service is horrendous with one older waitress continously being rude to customers, ignoring them coming in the door, brash, and offensive in her attitude. She complains to other tables about other customers and she is loud. The food and ambience would be rated much higher if customers didn't have to deal with this server. Too bad the owners aren't invested in their business!

This place is so cute. Really fun waitstaff, they treat you like family! Great place to bring the kids. My personal favorites are the pizza, chicken piccata, and the Italian dressing.

My wife, two kids and me went here for dinner and had pizza and pasta based on good reviews from CitySearch. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The pizza crust was more like a cracker and lacked much flavor, toppings were good. The pasta was also lacking in flavor. However, there may have been others pastas that were better. The basic oil and cheese was not good. Did not try a red sauce, which may have been better. The look and feel was good, as I liked the red and white table cloths, very Little Italy in feel. Food did not measure up and we will not return.

The pizza, salads, sandwiches, everything is good at this place. Don't even get me started on the chicken picatta. The place gets crowded on the weekends but it is worth the wait. Take out is just as good and you can enjoy the great food in the comfort of your own home. I highly recommend the meatball sub, the number two salad with house dressing, and there is no better place to get a plain chees pizza.

Petrini's has been making pizza in Santa Barbara longer than anyone elese. Its the best, if you like thin crust traditonal italian style pizza.
