Well, we got seated promptly... in the back at a really small table. We moved ourselves to a booth that was in a half empty room assuming there would be no problem with that. I guess the hostess was not ok with that... (more)

The food is pretty good here but the ambience is the real draw, especially if you can snag one of the booths near the fireplace in the front room. The only drawback is the booths directly face each other so you're a little... (more)

Had lunch today @ Pascucci's. The service was very quick, almost too quick, but it was lunch so I can understand. My husband ordered the pizza which was very average. The dough was slightly sweet and nothing special. I... (more)

I have been going to Pascucci's for many years now! To me, it has become a place for SB comfort food. The food and ambiance is always great - the downfall is always the 2 hour wait for a table.I hope to try the new Goleta... (more)

Pascucci is amazing! It is worth going to Pascucci just for the bread alone! The atmosphere is great, it is a great spot for a casual buisness lunch or even a romantic dinner. Pascucci for lunch cannot be beat. You can... (more)
