Thario's Kitchen - Carpinteria

Wonderful amazing food! Thaii is an incredible cook and Mario the perfect Maitre d'. The free tasty bread (foccacia with oil and seasoning) is soft AND crusty. The Piccata bowl is delicious, the Bolognese tasty and just what Bolognese should be! The candied walnut salad is huge and delicious!! The atmosphere is charming with outside tables and heaters and overhead trattoria lights. The inside is broken up with pieces of furniture, bicycles, and tables with candles, some for 4 some for 2, one with a quaint tablet lamp. There's a cozy sofa and bar for those wanting to spend a little time with friends! A perfect neighborhood gathering place! UPDATE: December 2021 I'm still going back and the food is as good as ever. Get the pepperoni pizza, or get spaghetti with wonderful meatballs. The appetizer kalamata olives and bread are always delicious. Last night I was on my own and sat at the bar and chatted with Mario while an amazing pianist entertained the lively 30 people gathered in this cozy spot on a winter night.

OMG! I have no word to describe how amazing and delicious it was!!! If you are close to this area please, visit this restaurant! It's absolutely fantastic!!!! I am so impressed! It reminds me my trip to Italy and the food there! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

In our search for the best Italian food in the United States, we did not take our efforts lightly. With this humble locally owned Italian super tasty hide away, the only limits here are your stomach and travel miles. The lasagna (get there early only available as supply lasts) or several nightly specials are to die for. Oh ya, Mario will be happy to serve up one their awesomely fresh pizzas too.

Some of the best Italian food I?ve experienced in California in a long time. Traditional style of Italian food with a delicious taste, there pizza?s are definitely delicious and can?t go wrong. If visiting carpenteria ca than this is a definite stop for delicious Italian food. Enjoy ????

Great food and music. (They are short on people so take some time.
