Last week I wrote that Yona Redz, which planned to move next to their Santa Playa Mariscos restaurant, in a space at 1230-A State Street (the former home of Saigon), had decided to give up the lease to another restaurant. Yona Redz will now be sharing space with Santa Playa Mariscos at 1230-C State Street and it turns out that the mystery restaurant taking over 1230-A State Street is Pascucci.

“We are excited to share that we found a really great new spot in Santa Barbara’s “Arts District” at 1230-A State Street and will be moving soon,” shared Laura Knight, owner of Pascucci Restaurant. “Our current landlord has kindly agreed to allow us to remain at 509 State Street while we prepare for our move to the Granada Theatre neighborhood, where we expect to be up and running by late April.” Pascucci Restaurant hopes that all its loyal customers will continue enjoying delicious Italian-inspired food at their current location while renovations and remodeling are underway further up the street. Adds Knight, “We are excited to be renting from local landlord, Ray Mahboob and be close to The Arlington, Granada, and New Vic theatres, while surrounded by all the other wonderful small restaurants and unique, local shops in the downtown Arts District.  Thank you, community of Santa Barbara, for your love and support for 31 years! The team at Pascucci is looking forward to settling into our third downtown location – we think it will be the best one yet!”

Pascucci on State Street offers Italian cuisine made from fresh local ingredients for lunch and dinner. This restaurant stands out as one of the most popular dining spots in Santa Barbara, offering a reasonably priced menu with plenty of options to choose from. The ambiance combines Southern Californian casual vibes with a touch of romantic Italy. To see a menu visit pascuccirestaurant-sb.com
