Beautiful Setting, Wonderfully Prepared Food, Excellent Menu, 6/26/2010
Reviewer: Barbara and Peter Wouters
from Santa Barbara, CA
We love the ambiance at Mollies! No little bitty tables crowded together so you can't move your arms. The risotto with asparagus is absolutely delicious! The seasonings are balanced and the vegetables are fresh and not overdone. We dine there often and highly recommend the pastas, pizzas and risottos.

Best Pizza, Pasta, and specialty italian foods, 5/19/2010
Reviewer: Ashkan
from Santa Barbara, CA
This is the absolute best Italian food in SB. Pizza is nice, simple and crispy (just like the ones they serve in cafes by Pompeii). The spaghetti and turkey meatballs is awesome. Fish soup and other specialties are magnific. Go and enjoy. I'm going tonight.

Don't bother, save your money!, 5/6/2010
Reviewer: Barb Aquino
from Santa Clarita, Ca.
My husband and I were in Montecito and passed this restaurant and thought we would try it. Big mistake! We asked for a table on the patio with a heater and had to wait 20 minutes before they brought one over, right about the same time we received our drinks. We had to wait minimum 45 minutes for our meal. They never asked us for refills on our drinks, and we waited another 20 minutes for our dessert. Portions are very small and high priced. The waiter acted as if we were in invisible. We paid $100.00 for 2 small pasta meals with salad and 2 glasses of wine. We left feeling ripped-off and still hungry. Save your money, go elsewhere!

Worst never coming back!, 2/18/2010
Reviewer: Candy

My boyfriend and I go out to eat a lot so we try to go to new places each month. I've been here in the past but it was my boyfriend first time! Service here was horrible. We got seating in the corner and the place wasn't even full! The buss boy paid more attention to us then our waiter. If we are going to pay what we paid here we should have good service. I wanted to get up and leave. We finally got our food after 45 min. the food was bland and not good. small portions for pasta….no thank you! If you want good Italian food go to Ca Dario!!!!

Feels like home, 1/7/2010

I have been going to Mollie's for years, and each time I am equally satisfied with the wonderful, incredible food, and the warm, happy service. Mollie greets the customers and the waiters and waitress remember what I love to eat. I always recommend Mollie's and will continue to do so

Great meal!, 11/22/2009
Reviewer: Jordan

If you're looking for a great Sunday night dinner this is the place. I've been coming here with my family since my children were kids and now when they visit from college and New York where my daughter lives they always ask to come back to Mollie's. The pizza is delicious and thin, the pastas are great, and the appetizers are wonderful as well. I seriously suggest it! The service is also good, Mollie is wonderful herself.

Why would you choose this Italian Restaurant???
Reviewer: Jim Melillo
from Montecito, CA
I live in Montecito. My family is from Italy. I spend time there. I am a decent cook. I have eaten here 3-4 times in 2 years. Where in the world do people get the idea that this is great italian food? This is good food. Mollie's prices are a bit high, Capreses Salad $13, Gnocchi in tomato sauce $17 - come on this is potatoes, but her pizzas are reasonable priced if a little small. The service is just not good. You should feel like people want you there, that they like you and that you are special. It is just not there. Try Pane e Vino up the hill, similiar prices better food but your wanted there. Tre Lune down the road great service and pretty good food. So the reason the place does not get a 4 or 5 is the prices are a little higher than they should be and the food is a little less special than it should be and the service is worse than it should be. I love Downeys and Petit Valentien and Pane e Vino all good Italian and French restaurants all are which same price or higher. They just do the three things right that you need Service, Quality and Price.

Every bite a winner -- and our server Monica made it fun!
Reviewer: Susan H.

Second time dining at Mollie's on a Sunday afternoon. Lovely choices on the lunch menu -- soups have been memorably outstanding both times. Pasta was mouth-wateringly good. Pizza was perfect -- thin crust and right combo of toppings. Haven't tasted pizza as authentic as that outside of Italy. Grilled chicken on Bibb lettuce was just right -- perfect split for side salad. For a leisurely afternoon with delicious food and cozy yet elegant atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend Trattoria Mollie's.

Worst owner ever

Worst service ever, I was able to hear the owner yelling to the cooks like if they were slaves.

Most authentic pizza. Everything was purchased for a gathering I held and the guests LOVED it all!
