We've been serving fresh, delicious meals for over 15 years at the historic Paseo Nuevo Mall in downtown Santa Barbara.
We also serve huge, excellent sandwiches with our traditional pasta salad.

The Santa Barbara Spicy Shrimp Pasta is insanely good. The portions are nice but I think they can be a bit bigger. I've ordered from here a few times but it can be a bit expensive. Despite that, this is the best pasta in town.

One of my favorites to order from! The Sirloin Steak Caesar Salad is always delicious, and the Fusilli Carbonara (minus the mushrooms because I'm allergic) is so good! And the best part is the portion size of each- enough to have two or more meals for a pretty good price!

I absolutely love this restaurant! I have tried a good majority of the pastas, salads and sandwiches and they have all been delicious!! Some of my favorite dishes are the Santa Barbara Spicy Shrimp Pasta, the Chipotle Penne Chicken Pasta, and the Blackened Chicken Caesar salad. I would say this is definitely one of if not THE best place to get pasta in town! My only critique would be their garlic bread could be improved and could be a bit bigger portion. Other than that, everything is excellent!

California Pasta is low-key the best Italian restaurant in Santa Barbara and could easily be rated the best overall restaurant in the area as well.
I've been eating here for years. Lots of menu options and always consistent. The food is rich, delicious and filling. The garlic bread is fire. Great customer service. Fast delivery.

Ordered from here many times before
and will continue to order here! They have great pasta, good to go portions and fast service. Especially like the sun-dried tomato pasta options! Definitely recommend.
