We love this place! Authentic Tuscan food – some of the best sauce that I have ever had! Be ready for a calm, relaxing meal that you can savor. The owners and wait staff are absolutely wonderful!

Walk through their door, you are treated like family. The owners, Frank and Anna were the most gracious individuals anyone could ever meet.
The lobster ravioles were fabulous! Topped off the meal with fresh cheesecake topped with fresh fruit.
I loved the meal and atmosphere. I will definitely return when I drive through the area.

Hubs and I dropped into Giannfranco’s Trattoria about a hour before closing time on a weeknight. The front dining area was empty except for a table of four. The owner advised us that we can sit in the front dining area but kitchen and wait service might be slow due to the back patio being full of customers. I appreciated that she told us and we decided to stay. She had a lighthearted sense of humor as well. Luv her wit and authenticity.
We told the waiter it was our first time here. Hubs ordered a drink and the meatball appetizer (meatballs with crostini) but asked to be brought out for dinner with my spaghetti and palette (meatballs). The waiter asked if we wanted bread. We said yes. He didn’t suggest this as an added appetizer. He just asked if we wanted bread knowing it was our first time here. But we found out later when the bill came that it cost $15, priced more than the meatball appetizer. So for first timers, if you are asked if you would like some bread, it’s $15.
The meatball appetizer crostini looked similar to the bread in the other appetizer, and I believe the same marinara. My dish was tasty. The marina had a subtle flavor along with the meatballs and spaghetti. Housemade authentic flavors. The menu centers on authentic Tuscan Italian cuisine. Simple fresh ingredients.
I’m totally apt to come back and try other menu items. They are located on Linden Avenue in downtown Carpinteria, a few blocks from the beach. The parking is free street parking.

This place deserves a 5-star rating on all aspects. We had lunch there on a Saturday. The food was fantastic. My daughter had Chicken Picata and the chicken piece was of perfect tenderness and taste. I had another Pasta dish called ‘Franco’ with Italian sausage added and it tasted superb. I assume that it was the owner himself who served our table. He was very attentive and kind.
They offer both indoor and patio seating in the back (with table umbrellas.) We chose the latter and felt very relaxed and comfy.
Will come back.

Absolutely amazing, food, service, and atmosphere! Ann was the sweets. The lobster ravioli are to DIE for!

Let’s start with this question: would I go out of my way to come back to eat here? The answer is a resounding YES; and that makes it 5 stars for me. Really good authentic Italian food (not run of the mill). You could walk right by this place and not know it is there. Reasonable prices. Superb patio (reservations for dinner on the patio HIGHLY recommended). Friendly and helpful staff. Try the Ciao Bella; it is my favorite here.

Visiting Santa Barbara and on our adventure we shared our table with a couple at a taco place. His name is Kevin. We already ate at Convivo and he recommended trying this Italian restaurant he hosts at for his friends.
So we parted ways and later that day drove 10mins to Carpenteria.
We almost drove past because it’s such a small place on the outside.
Kevin was there and led us to the bustling back patio.
We were greeted by the owners who also took our orders. Their son is the chef.
I was absolutely blown away. Bite after bite, it was the best Italian food I’ve ever had.
Everything is made from scratch. Everything is made with that care you would take for a very special meal.
Highly recommend for the tourist and locals alike.
Not one boring bite!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful diamond in the rough with us!!

The patio is very nice and romantic. Now on to the food. Absolutely outstanding! The wine was very delicious too! We had the appetizer meatballs they were amazing. Our meal choices were Chicken Parmigian and Penne ala Norma. We loved our choices and overall definitely pleased. Thank you to this fine Italian restaurant. And we know great Italian food!

Visiting with friends and we came across this amazing restaurant. Came in for lunch not knowing we would be totally amazed by the food. Every bite was sensational! The staff was very warm and inviting attending to us like how your grandmother would at a family gathering. If the lunch service was this impressive I can’t wait to come back here for dinner.
