ROOTED IN ITALIAN TRADITION
L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele is renowned for its Neapolitan pizzas, made using the same centuries-old recipe and imported ingredients as at its origin restaurant in Naples, established in 1870. Staying true to its roots, L’Antica’s new location in Santa Barbara continues the tradition of serving delicious Neapolitan-style pizzas and other Italian fare inspired by the authentic flavors and age-old techniques of Italy.
A SLICE OF NAPOLI
The treasured Naples brand has been specializing in Neapolitan pizzas for nearly 153 years, so naturally, they know a thing or two about making good pie. In fact, Head Pizzaiolo Michele Rubini trained under the Executive Chef from the original Naples location, and every pizza maker at L’Antica is a professionally trained Pizzaiolo. So, regardless of whether you’re noshing on the spicy Diavola Pizza or the famed Margherita (as seen in the movie Eat, Pray, Love), you’ll be instantly transported to the streets of ‘Napoli’ – no passport required.
MADE WITH TRADITION AND LOVE
Michele’s food philosophy is simple: to make delicious, quality food – made with equal parts love and tradition – that sparks joy with each bite. Given this, it’s not surprising that all of L’Antica’s pizzas, pastas, and breads are made in house; special care is taken to source quality ingredients from Italy and locally; and simple, yet mouthwatering dishes let the flavors and traditions of Italy shine.
A WELCOMING DESTINATION
Inspired by his hometown of Naples, owner Francesco Zimone’s mission for L’Antica is to bring to life the authentic gathering spots of Italy – where diners can feel welcomed to linger over a quality meal and enjoy genuine Italian hospitality. And at L’Antica Santa Barbara, you can do just that. Located in a historic Spanish-style building in downtown’s Arts District, the relaxed, convivial nature of the space makes it an inviting place to eat, drink, and savor La Dolce Vita in Santa Barbara.
