First of all what a cute street name this place is located on, Santa Lane. This restaurant had its own personality with the different decor. There is a table of Lego’s, games, and books and I thought perfect for a family to keep kids entertained with non technology fun or a great place to come eat and have fun with your adult friends too. The inside is cozy and the outside is cool to enjoy the ocean air. Our food was delicious. I must come back to try the other pizzas as they all sounded so good. My only negative would be I would love ice with my water. The sodas are served as a can so a little pricey for no refill option.

A sweet couple brought me in to live paint their wedding dinner at Thario’s, and man, what a dream night it was. The restaurant is so warm and eclectic, you feel like you’re hanging out in your favorite artist friend’s boho living room. Thais and Mario are just about the sweetest and most welcoming people you could ever hope to interact with, and they continue that sense of home and family with their hospitality.

Family owned and absolutely delicious food! Everything we tried was yummy and we will definitely be going back. Caveat: food can take a while to come out.
They also host Tango, and Latin music dancing there!!!

The owner was super welcoming and kind. Service was great! We enjoyed our outdoor seating that was reserved for our large party. The pizzas were delish. And the salads were awesome as well. I would definitely return and try something new…or maybe another pizza…hmmm…

We went to this restaurant for the third time because the food has always been very good, although the prices are a bit high.
The owner, Mario, was the one who attended us. We ordered a charcuterie board as an appetizer and asked that no more bread be brought. Later, when the pasta dishes arrived, we asked for bread on two separate occasions. We were five people, and we like to eat our meals with bread, but it was never brought to the table.
When we mentioned this, Mario explained that the bread is “for the other families” and that only one plate of bread is given per table. He even told us that if we wanted, he could sell us bread for $6 to take home, when what we wanted was to have bread with our meal.
The situation was very uncomfortable and hard to understand. It’s a shame, because the food is good, but the service—especially coming from the owner—was very poor.
We left with a bitter feeling and decided not to return.

Well done! Tharios. Knocked it out of the park. Some of the best Italian food we’ve ever had. Every menu item was simply put perfection. Definitely we’ll be coming back when in town. Great job!

Beautiful experience! Mario was a sheer delight, he accommodated our large group, catered to our needs, and didn’t forget a name! All the while he was greeting and seating many that came in after us. There was so many delightful things! From the decor, the lovely outdoor seating, the beautiful indoor seating, the dishware, and even the bathroom, everything was delightful! The food, oh my gosh the FOOD- from start to finish AMAZING! Every recommendation was spot on, just a sheer delight from start to end! We will certainly return! Grateful to have had the experience and enjoy all that was provided by very skillful hands!

We stopped here after a hike in Montecito. The food was so good, the staff friendly and the owner, Thais, is just lovely and speaks French. The restaurant is very spacious and beautifully decorated. It’s slightly hidden, so you have to look for it! Definitely, my new favorite restaurant in the area.

Thario’s Kitchen was an unexpected find on our trip from LA to Morro Bay. It is a nice little restaurant with a cosy outside area. The menu is somewhere between Italian and French cuisine and quite varied. We had the shrimp and leek soup which was truly excellent with nicely blended flavours and tasty shrimps. Our dessert was a blueberry raspberry pie that was also very good. Service was very friendly and quick. We will probably not come this way again, but if we did, we would be back.

Stopped on a whim as we were traveling down the 101 and we were NOT disappointed! Authentic Italian fare in a relaxing, cozy environment with friendly, professional staff. The food was divine, especially the Wagyu Bites; cooked to perfection and so tender you could cut them with a fork! Don’t miss out on this gem just a hop, skip and a jump off the highway!
