The perfect mix of old-school Italian w modern seafood restaurant. We had NYE reservations, which we, unfortunately, had to cancel and instead stopped in for an afternoon linner the next day. We ordered a selection of apps — grilled artichoke, roasted clams, and meatballs. While the artichoke initially came out cool and had to be sent back, the flavor of everything was outstanding — so much so that my husband who rarely eats clams outside a chowder was fighting me for equal shares. Incredible local wine selections alongside a solid cocktail and beer menu. Can’t wait to visit again.

I am originally from Louisiana and was visiting SB for Christmas so we went to Little Dom’s and we were VERY impressed with how good the food was! I never would have expected to have such delicious gumbo on the West coast! The place was cute and everyone who worked there was very nice!

Visiting from Colorado, and once again, I picked the wrong restaurant. I’m sure Carpinteria has great Italian restaurants but this isn’t one of them. I guess this restaurant has been around forever, but something’s gone downhill. I ordered the squid ink pasta and it was such a disappointment. It was lacking in flavor, dry, and practically congealed… very little sauce. We also ordered the skirt steak, which was ok but also lacking in flavor. Maybe next time, we’ll stick with the pizza. I heard it was good. The bill came to $110… I guess that would be fine if the food was good but it just wasn’t, and the service was just adequate. Next time I will do more research before just picking a restaurant based on its supposed reputation.

We love Little Dom’s in Loz Feliz. So it was a treat to discover this location on our drive to SB. We will definitely make it one of our regular stops from now on. Everything about Little Dom’s is 100%, the food, service, vibe, music, drinks and location.

We are so glad we found this little gem of a restaurant! The service was great and the food was incredible. We got the Fish piccata with halibut and asparagus and it was amazing.
For an appetizer we got the wood oven roasted little neck clams and it was so good!
This was probably our best dinner of our week in the Santa Barbara area! Definitely planning to come again the next time we are in town.

relative to this small town, food was good. i order the fish fillet burger,the fish fillet itself is a lil under seasoned, the bun is soft and tender. and the pickled vegetables were good. but it overpowers the fish. good service and atmosphere tho, when I came in it was empty

it’s a 4 out of 5 for Carpinteria based on the limited other options, but if it was in LA i’d probably give it a 3. reliably decent, but nothing exceptional

Wife and I discovered Little Dom’s during 2020 lockdown when we had a delightful Sunday brunch on their street built dining deck. Been back many times for lunch or brunch and never disappoints. Unique options, great food, excellent service.

Service is impeccable. Food is delicious although on the smaller portions. Oysters were fresh! It’s close enough to the city beach and freeway exit. Outside seating is perfect in the spring weather.

I ordered the margarita pizza extra crispy. It was very delicious. I wouldn’t add any additional toppings. It was good on its own. The seasoned lemon potatoes were excellent. The service was awesome!
