Here is an update from Via Maestra 42 at 3343 State Street:
Via Maestra 42 has been honored to be a part of the Santa Barbara community for 20 years. We have watched your children grow up. We have always been happy to help out with your fundraisers and auctions. We have loved celebrating your weddings, anniversaries, graduations and births.
We want to continue to be here for you. Via Maestra 42 has kept its loyal staff of servers, cooks and dishwashers, but times have been tough and we would appreciate your help. Please consider donating to help our staff members provide for their families in this time of trial.
We thank you for your continued support and look forward to the time we can all gather together again! #SmallBusinessRelief

I love Via Maestra 42 but wish their website had better information about how to place a to-go order of their wonderful food – in store? by phone? on-line? The full menu seems over-ambitious. Perhaps they should choose to focus on 10 or so favorite dishes and make the process clear and simple. The fact that it’s also a grocery store adds confusion and maybe that’s part of the reason they’re having trouble.
