This just in…

What a rare opprotunity to attend a fun event in Santa Barbara. My pizza loving friends have highly recommended Olio Pizzeria and Chef Alberto. I have attended several events with The American Institute of Food and Wine. All have been delicious and enjoyable experiences.
AIWF announces a fun new event at Olio e Limone’s new Olio Pizzeria restaurant. We have arranged for two impromptu evenings that sound like a lot of fun. Guests are at member prices for this event. The Board has designated this as an “Interest New Members Event”. So bring a guest that may be interested in joining the AIWF.

When husband-wife team Alberto and Elaine Morello opened Olio e Limone Ristorante in 1999, their goal was simple – rely on the integrity of the ingredients and the quality of the preparation to offer Santa Barbara creative, authentic Italian cuisine served in an inviting atmosphere.

Now you can enjoy the best pizzeria west of Rome at the new Olio Pizzeria. Chef Alberto has spared no expense in building the best pizza oven in town.

There are only 22 spaces each evening so reserve ASAP!

Date: Mondays, November 1st & 8th @ 7:00 pm.
