Trattoria Uliveto - Old Orcutt

We absolutely cherish our family visits to this wonderful local restaurant, which has become a frequent dining spot for us. It's not just the exceptional food that draws us back, but the genuine warmth and hospitality shown by the staff and the owner, Alfonso. He always makes an effort to step out from the kitchen to greet guests personally, ensuring everyone feels welcome and cared for.What truly sets this place apart for our family is the special attention Alfonso pays to our son. He has forged a remarkable connection with him, often inviting him to the kitchen to try his hand at making pizzas. These experiences have made the restaurant a memorable spot for our son, and it’s his absolute favorite!The ambiance is cozy, the menu is delicious, and the staff’s friendliness makes every visit delightful. As realtors, we frequently recommend this restaurant to new homeowners in the area because it embodies the community spirit we love. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won't be disappointed!

It also costs a small fortune, so expectations weren't met as far as the food. Staff is great, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere,
