Stica

Every time it gets better and better. Everything we have had has been amazing. Today's menu for us was 4 different slices of pizza. While the Margherita is always our fav the other 3 were also sooo delicious. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed. Service is always so lovely and great. And the restaurant is so cute with simple elegant details. Pizzas pictured: Chanterelle Margherita Scarpetta Montanara

What a fantastic addition to the Santa Ynez and valley food scene! I was just in Italy this summer eating this style of pizza and wondering why wasn’t this a thing back here! High quality ingredients on a nice crust warmed to order. What’s not to love? Add a fantastic array of salads and paninos and you have a fantastic quick and delicious place to grab a meal. They also have some pastas, sauces, and lasagnas to prep at home. Almost like I died and went to Italy!

A delightful lunch spot in the Nez. Approaching the exterior one is immediately struck by the distinct visual language of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, plenty of sun-blasted stucco and existential dust, as if Sergio Leone personally scowled at the façade. Step inside, however, and the mise-en-scène shifts jarringly into the rich hughes of Cinque Terre (The quaint Italian Coastal Village that inspired the film, Luca). It’s an ambitious tonal pivot for a restaurant, but it works. The food is good, too, in case you care about that sort of thing. The textures and flavors were fantastic!

The pizza is delicious, I got the sausage one and the salame one. I like how the pizza is not greasy at all and makes for a delicious light lunch or dinner. The crust is perfectly crisp and airy. The service was pretty quick and the girl serving was friendly and smiling.

Charming, hole-in-the-wall run by a very friendly coupl. Stica specializes in traditional Italian flatbread pizzas (available whole or by the slice), panino sandwiches, and fresh salads. Very decent wine selection as well, with an emphasis on local and Italian producers. I got the Scarpetta flatbread and a Kolsch; both were delicious! They just opened about a month ago and have made an excellent first impression! Looking forward to going back soon!
