About Arnoldi's Cafe

Arnoldi’s is an old-fashioned Italian restaurant in Santa Barbara that features a garden patio and bocce courts. This makes the restaurant have a character distinct from that of the hustle and bustle State Street dining spots. The cuisine is more traditional Italian and Italian-American rather than trendy.

It includes appetisers, salads, pasta, seafood, chicken, and meat dishes. It can accommodate people of all tastes since they will have a wide selection. In addition, there are half portions available for some of the pastas, making it easy to create a whole course meal without ordering many dishes.
