Summer in Santa Barbara is about sun-soaked days a Summer in Santa Barbara is about sun-soaked days and the freshest local flavors. Think juicy tomatoes, sweet corn, stone fruit, and farmers market finds that make every meal a celebration of the season. ☀️

Some of this summer’s faves:

🌽 Bossie’s Kitchen, @bossieskitchen.sb : Home of Old Bossy the cow (~1940 - 2020). This neighborhood restaurant is open for lunch and dinner with indoor and patio dining. Their produce is always sourced from the Santa Barbara Farmer’s Market!

🍑 It’s National Peach Month, and you need a summer peach with ricotta honey and arugula pizza pie at St. Bibiana, @st.bibiana on Ortega Street.

🍦 And on Saturday nights, make sure you find Creaminal Ice Cream, @eatcreaminal at Your Choice Restaurant on State Street for No Sad Sundaes. Flavors change each week, check out some of the fun flavors!

Summer in Santa Barbara is sunny skies, gentle bre Summer in Santa Barbara is sunny skies, gentle breezes, and simple joys in every bite. 🌿✨ In our latest issue, Pascale Beale of @pascaleskitchen invites us to unwrap al-fresco living—where a picnic, a light lunch on the terrace, or a casual nibble among friends becomes a moment of celebration.

Elizabeth David said it best: ‘There is nothing like eating outdoors. The taste of food is enhanced by the open air.’ Whether it’s tagliatelle swirled with summer pesto, juicy white peach crostini, or silky peach-pistachio semifreddo—you’ll find that summer tastes brighter in the open air!

So grab a friend, pull up a chair under the sun, and let the season sing. Read more in our summer issue.

This summer, we're celebrating four remarkable loc This summer, we're celebrating four remarkable local spots that have become the heartbeat of Santa Barbara County—true community hubs where food, connection, and creativity collide. From Revolver Pizza's hand-pulled mozzarella and spontaneous jam nights to The Eddy’s modern corner store turned neighborhood gathering place, Your Choice Restaurant’s joyful “No Sad Sundaes” ice cream socials, and Motley Crew Marketplace’s farmers-market-style support for local ranchers and artisans, these places are redefining what it means to come together this summer.

Whether you're seeking music over pizza, gourmet essentials with soul, DIY sundae nostalgia, or ethical market finds, these spots remind us that food does more than feed—it brings us home.

🍧✨ Sweet Summer Strolls in Solvang just got s 🍧✨ Sweet Summer Strolls in Solvang just got sweeter—thanks to Alessio Artisanal Gelato! 🌞

Featured in Edible Santa Barbara’s "Sweet Summer Strolls," this little gem @alessio_artisanal_gelato brings the Italian tradition of the passeggiata to Central Coast life. Owner and gelato‑maker Alessio Carnevale crafts each batch with artisanal care—drawing on rich Calabrian heritage, top-quality seasonal ingredients, and the textures that make gelato pure joy.

Whether you’re shopping, wine hopping, or enjoying one of Solvang’s classic strolls, a scoop of velvet‑smooth Stracciatella, lavender, or pistachio is all you need. Grab a cone, enjoy the sunshine, and embrace the art of summer leisure—Italian style. 🇮🇹🌿
