Come enjoy a day trip at Padaro/Santa Claus Beach, one of the cutest beach in California! At Thario’s, we serve a very simple but authentic cuisine made with the best local ingredients, the menu offers Pizza&Pasta, various salads & desserts, fresh homemade bread baked everyday... ask Mario, he will have the pleasure to explain to you all the crunchy details about what Thaïs is cooking behind the scene and will offer you his last update on wines and beers...

"100 STARS if I could!!! To start, the owner Mario, his wife (and chef) Thais, their daughter and Antoine are the kindest, caring and warmest people you will ever meet!!! Thario's Kitchen is truly a hidden gem that you must visit! The restaurant is intimate and relaxed, easy and fun!! I was looking for a location to host a wedding rehearsal dinner for my son and his fiancé on a Saturday evening, having spent an entire day (8 hours) visiting restaurants in the Carpinteria area. Many restaurants said they would not be able to do it on a Saturday, and others told us they could not let us have a seating section for just our party. This was discouraging and I quickly realized that I was just another customer they didn't need, (although for me it was an important life event!) Then, I stumbled upon Thario's Kitchen, and I am SO HAPPY the others turned me away, because I discovered the BEST PLACE OF ALL in Thario's!!!! Everything is homemade and the place smells amazing! The staff (family) is absolutely wonderful, and Mario did everything to ensure we had an incredible experience. There were 24 of us for this dinner, and at my request we were seated on the patio in the front which is magical and intimate, beautifully lighted with heaters and lovely plants and flowers. They waited on us hand and foot, the food and drinks kept coming, and all of our group loved everything!!! To top it off, they had the most wonderful piano player/singer and we all gathered to sing along (including the staff!!) for the most magical evening!!! I cannot thank Thario's enough for making this night so special. They are a lovely family and truly added to a very important life moment. (I have never left a Yelp review, but Thario's is a MUST VISIT, you will not regret it) They are located on Santa Claus Lane. Go there!"
