A taste of Italy in Montecito.

Ancora Osteria is a warm, neighborhood Italian restaurant in Montecito's Upper Village, inspired by the timeless character of Italy and the ingredients of California. Our menu features handmade pastas and pinsas, seasonal antipasti, simply prepared seafood and meats and a thoughtful wine list. Designed to feel classic, comfortable, and welcoming, Ancora is a place for an easy weeknight dinner, a long meal with friends, or a special evening close to home.
