Very good and attentive service, the staff is awesome.
Drinks are delicious, although a little on the expensive side.
Food came out quick and was extremely good. All the flavors were there in a wonderful medley which came together beautifully.
Highly recommend the tuna cones, the sesame went so well with the tuna! Catch of the day was trout which was also very good. And the pastry desert was super flaky and yummy, but I did like the olive oil cake flavors better. Only thing I didn’t care much for was the pork belly appetizer – while it was cooked well, the flavor was sub-par.

We recently dined at this place. It is a bit pricey, but the food is so worth it. Our server was really attentive and had great suggestions. We did not have a reservation, but since we went early we managed to find a table. We started with some garlic bread. We had the seafood (scallops and prawn) risotto and the lamb chops. For dessert, we had the warm chocolate torte. From start to finish, all the food was amazing. I had the risotto and each bite was so flavorful. Initially, I thought the quantity was less, but found it hard to finish at the end 🙂

Amazing!! Came here on our very short trip to SB and SO glad we did! It was amazing, I got the ravioli, and my partner the lasagna. It was incredible, the garlic bread was amazing. And we just had room for pudding and so glad we did! The tiramisu was the best, the chocolate torte too!! The cocktails we spot on. We didn’t book but got super lucky and were so glad we did as in our three week road trip this is the best food we ate on our whole trip to the USA. I hope one day we will be able to come back. It was great, amazing value too, three courses each and cocktails for such a good price

Excellent restaurant in a convenient location. The food is really good, the service is polite and professional. Prices are high, but it is good value for money.

After an early evening layak trip I stopped in here for dinner. What a lovely little place! The staff was warm and friendly and the food was just incredible. I had the stuffed squash flowers (try it!) And gnocchi. Both were to die for.

My wife and I’s favorite restaurant in Santa Barbara! Toma never lets us down – the service, food, drinks, and atmosphere are all 10/10.

We recommend Toma to all our guests aboard our charter sailing yacht and guests follow up saying it was the best meal they’ve had in SB.

Our recommendations are start with the tuna cones, squash blossoms, and a farmers market salad (seasonal) — pair these with any entree and you cannot go wrong. The cocktails are also excellent and the wine list formidable. Some of the most friendly staff and service we have ever experienced.

Whether stopping by for appetizers & drinks, lunch, or a romantic dinner; Toma has it all and will not disappoint.

My husband and I dined here for our wedding anniversary and overall had a very nice time!

What we loved: the service and atmosphere are wonderful with a few stand out dishes! The pasta is incredible and next time we will definitely be trying more of it! We both agreed that the truffle gnocchi with Argentinian shrimp was the clear winner of the evening. We decided to share that as our “ appetizer “. The fresh truffle was subtle and delicious, not overpowering at all and the gnocci has probably the best I have ever had. I had the crispy salmon and overall really enjoyed the dish. Very well seasoned and the sauces were delicious.

We could be improved: they bring you a few deep fried olives to start and it was a poor first impression because you could tell it had been sitting out as the breading was soggy and not crispy and honestly tasted a little bit stale. We ordered the bread and were underwhelmed because it wasn’t warmed or toasted – and for the extra $4 – it really should have been.

My husband had the pork, and while it was cooked very well, it was under seasoned and the whole dish just felt like it was missing something.

The desert was good.

Overall – we had about a 2 hour dining service and felt very well taken care of. They kindly brought out a sorbet for us to celebrate our anniversary, which was a nice touch!

Would come back again and get all the pasta!

We come to Santa Barbara every couple of years. This is our 3rd time dining at Toma’s and once again it was a 5 star experience.
Seated promptly, fried olives with cheese were dropped off, delicious. Our server was very attentive, explain specials and such. We started with salads, wife had a wedge, I had a Ceasar. Props to them for going old school with anchovies, that was nice.
My wife had her favorite, Short Ribs, I had the seafood Pasta. Dishes looked as good as they tasted. Perfectly cooked, and delicious. Ended the meal with Olive oil Lemon Cake ..oh my
Every time we are here it’s a perfect dining experience.
Looking forward to our next visit

I’ve eaten at Toma many times and always walk away highly satisfied with the food, service and atmosphere. This week was no exception. The rigatoni is one of my favorites on the menu, just the right amount of meat and spice. Our server Gabriel offered fabulous service, recommending just the right wine and the perfect dish. Can’t wait to visit again next time I’m in Santa Barbara!

Toma Restaurant & Bar is located in beautiful Santa Barbara as far as we’re concerned, it is one of the top ten restaurants in all of California. Really! From its incredible seaside location, their distinctive range of Italian American offerings, it’s seductive casual elegance interior, classy presentations (regardless if at the bar or main dining area), to its superb renditions of their marvelous dishes – one cannot go wrong here. With their extensive wine catalogue, it is difficult to make a selection, we looked to our server/sommelier for the best advice – great job! We went for a varied repertoire with Ahi Tuna Cones to Squash Blossoms, a marvelous Rigatoni to Truffle Gnocchi (outstanding), and the Grilled Pork Chops to New Zealand Lamb (fabulous) to Braised Short Ribs. For desert we were amazed with their almost perfect renditions of Tiramisu and Crème Brûlée. The last time I had such exquisite Crème Brûlée was on a visit to Montreal. We highly recommend Toma Restaurant & Bar wholeheartedly… you’ll enjoy every aspect of the experience. The great hospitality, the food, it historicity, and atmosphere are beyond reproach. Grandi avventure!
