Mollie's - Santa Barbara

My wife and I are visiting from Philadelphia, and we had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. I ordered the rigatoni all'Amatriciana, a Roman dish that is hard to find. It was even better than what we had in Rome! It was so delicious that I had to order a second helping since I don’t know when we’ll be back. My wife chose the spaghetti frutti di mare, and it was fantastic as well. The ambiance was phenomenal; we sat outside with the heater on, enjoying the music from the piano bar next door. It was just a perfect evening. Thank you for making our 10th anniversary so special!

We were thoroughly impressed! The food was outstanding; I ordered the fettuccine bolognese, and my wife had the agnolotti alla contadina, both of which were exceptional. While the wine prices were somewhat high, there's a BYOB option for a $25 corkage fee. The service was excellent, and on the Friday night we visited, we enjoyed live music just down the street. Overall, it was an incredible experience.

An authentic Italian dining experience in a stunning location. As someone who was born and raised in New York, I can confidently say this is the only Italian restaurant that can compete. I highly recommend trying the salmon!

Tried Mollie's for lunch twice and have had a good experience both times. They have a lunch special menu which I ordered from. I had the Salmon both times and it was excellent. The staff is friendly and the service was good. It is tastefully decorated and appointed and is in a great location near the Granada Theater. This is a nice Italian Restaurant and the prices are reasonable.

Came here on Valentine's Night with my wife. I ordered the sea bass and she had shrimp rissoto. The sea bass was the most fishy I had ever had and the veggies served along with it were bland. My wife's meal was much better than mine. However, we only saw our waitress twice that night (to order and for the bill). Probably won't come back.
