About us

Intermezzo was created as a local hangout that visitors also enjoy.  Comfortable yet vibrant, the space was designed for friends to meet up for a flavorful bite, a glass of Santa Barbara wine, or a craft cocktail.

Enjoy dinner at Intermezzo, an exciting, vibrant restaurant featuring artisanal pizzas, seafood, steak, chicken dishes, gourmet burgers, and farm-fresh salads. Don’t forget our delicious desserts, seasonal Cheese, and Salumi boards for sharing.

Dine al fresco in the historic courtyard, partake European-style on the front arcade, or arrive before the dinner rush to grab a coveted seat at the copper bar. 

Warm and inviting service and a decidedly welcoming Santa Barbara atmosphere are our defining characteristics—and there is no need for reservations at the Mezzo Bar. Just drop in and join us soon at Intermezzo by Wine Cask!
