Decent pizza bar restaurant!
The food came out piping hot the ingredients tasted basic but fresh! Went later in the night close to closing it is a good place to take the family or for a date night out. Our waiter was attentive and hustling he always refilled drinks made sure we were satisfied! he was very nice, tipped them well! Everyone that worked here was nice and seemed in a good mood and very professional!
The prices were reasonable appetizers were around $10-15 entrées around $18-25. The food portions were hefty we definitely had leftovers! There isnt much i can complain about other than the seating couldve been slightly more comfortable and the interior lighting could be better. Everything about this place speaks volumes especially since its like a iconic staple of santa cruz. Some of the best pizza and pasta around!

Good service, great food… the servers are very polite, and quick. The food was amazing. The outside area has plenty of heat that you are warm even in a cold breeze coming through. I like sitting by the fire place outside. The mixed drinks were excellent! 10/10 highly recommend. I will definitely be back

They have outdoor and indoor seating which is great. Prices might be high but the portion sizes are large.
Service is a bit slow, but this works if you have a relaxed afternoon.
We liked the flatbread, and the vegetarian sandwich was really good.

Our experience at Kianti’s in Santa Cruz was absolutely unforgettable — and it was all because of the incredible service team who took care of us.
From start to finish, our server Roberto went above and beyond to make us feel like true VIPs. The attention to detail, warmth, and genuine care made the entire evening feel personal and special. Every recommendation was spot-on, every request handled instantly, and we never felt like just another table — we felt valued and completely taken care of.
And a huge shout-out to the amazing server assistant, Cooper from Sacramento! He was attentive, professional, and always one step ahead. His energy, kindness, and teamwork elevated the entire dining experience. Together, they created the best-of-the-best service we’ve ever experienced.
Exceptional food, fantastic entertainment, and truly top-tier hospitality. This was more than dinner — it was a complete experience. We can’t wait to come back!

The service was slow; we saw the food sitting at the serving counter for 10 minutes before we got it. The server was nice and the restaurant is comfy, but the food is very mediocre, especially the pizzas and spaghettis that are supposedly labelled “faves”. Almost all the food is spicy, and one of the non-spicy pastas had no sauce and a weird sour taste. Would probably not come back again.

Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Fridays and Saturdays come with a great show. Definitely recommended the pizza rolls(family favorite) and buffalo wings(extra crispy, sauce on the side) good eye candy drinks are great, highly recommend!

Food was absolutely delicious, my mom will not stop talking about how much she enjoyed it and definitely wants to come back. Food was also quickly served. Service was great, our server Jax (I believe was his name), greeted us right away and was very attentive and made our experience so much more enjoyable. The atmosphere was great, they have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor and they have a heater outside because it was a little cold 60°. They have nice decorations and overall a great look in my opinion. Would love to come back and I will definitely recommend others to come visit.

The place is amazing with multiple vegetarian options. The mushroom ravioli with creamy garlic sauce was delectable. We also had the veggie rage pizza was also really nice. The bruschetta could be better , but still on a flavorful side. Amazing service and a good place for a weekend lunch.

We wanted a delicious pizza for lunch and wandered into Kianti’s having heard nothing about it! We ordered the raging veggie and it did not disappoint! Wonderful grilled veggies and a crispy crust! The Cobb salad paired well and the service was delightful. No complaints!
