Even more handsome than its parent restaurant in tony Montecito, the immensely popular Pane e Vino is all warm, earthen tones and Tuscan-ish details.
Judging from the dishes carried to the other tables, pastas, risottos and the wood-fired pizzas are dependably good. The crab cake appetizer, assertively seasoned with red pepper, is completely respectable. Chicken and vegetables--many of them out of season--are cooked in clay pots. The steak alla Fiorentina, a mesquite-grilled rib eye, arrives perfectly cooked to order with a sturdy brown...

Beautiful place. We ate on the patio. It is romatically lit and comfortable. The food is extrordinary! I had the lobster tortelini and it was so delicious and tasty I ordered an additional one to go. Exceptional service, from host to waiter to bus boy. Very well priced, our whole meal was $70. I highly recommend and will be back soon.

This place has the best fillet millon. It's a very romantic restaurant. Expect to pay for parking because there is no street parking. This is a very classy restaurant. You have a choice of sitting inside or outside as well. The waiter asked my friend and I, what's the occasion? I was going to tell her we just got married.
