Best Italian Restaurants in Orcutt / Santa Maria

Leonardo’s was definitely delicious and the staff was great! Eric was kind and attentive. We had the Chicken Piccata, beet salad, caprese, the ragú shot ribs in bolognese sauce and the chocolate fondue with ice cream…. Fantastic Can’t wait to revisit!!! Bravissimo 👏🏻

Food and service was excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Really exceptional food and service in a charming setting. Great use of fresh local ingredients. We had a yellow beet carpaccio dressed with lemon, thyme and hazelnuts for the table to share in addition to a Caesar with polenta croutons. For our mains, we ordered five different pasta dishes. All were well dressed and seasoned; pasta was homemade and cooked perfectly. This included a wild mushroom pappardelle, ricotta gnocchi, gigli al ropeton with sausage and pancetta, rigatoni with an ossobucco ragu and a special pasta. We finished our meal with chocolate gelato and a pistachio creme brûlée. There was a nice selection of local wines available. Finally, we wanted to send our appreciation to the restaurant which held our reservation to accommodate our mix up on the time. That was exceptional.

While my first time dining here, this is clearly an institution in the area. The service was top tier from seating, to bus staff, to waiting. The food was excellent across the board. And, the pricing was appropriate. This is a must revisit location for us. Very well done Rosa's !! Also, we'd like to individually call out our waiter Bernardo who was incredibly gracious, polite, and on top of his game. With staff like Bernardo, Rosa's can't help but delight its patrons.

Service was great, food was amazing, dessert was on another level and drinks meet all expectations! I definitely recommend Nicola to everyone!
