    We sat outside which was nice and warm with the outdoor heaters. Our server was attentive and made great suggestions. Every meal was excellent. We started with the margherita pizza and mushroom pizza; both were excellent. We also ordered the gnocchi, risotto, Alfredo, vodka cream pasta and spicy sausage red sauce pasta. Every dish was delicious. We did not order dessert tonight but usually do. We love Tre Lune and are always grateful when we can get a table.

    A great local Montecito hangout. Love the Kale-Baby Gem salad with the addition of grilled chicken. We also enjoyed the Fish Tacos and the Chicken Milanese. Started with a delicious fried calamari appetizer. Super comfortable seating outside with great heaters. Also check out the inspiring cocktail menu.
