Make sure you check it out on Friday and Saturday nights! The staff does a dance around 9 pm that is so fun and really adds charm to the restaurant .
Great spot in downtown Santa Cruz. Solid options for pizza . Staff puts on a great show a couple days a week ????
Service is pretty good, and always friendly . Host(s) could be better. The winner is the food! Pesto cream tops my list, and Marsala is delish!
The spinach pizza with almond slivers on top was delicious. Sit on the sidewalk and watch the Pacific Ave riffraff walk by.
Fantastic staff . We get the Cobb salad with all dressings on side otherwise with the combo dressing its too much.
The holiday pizza dough spinning show is so much fun!!! Go check it out!
Any pizza here is great, but perhaps a spicy pasta is more in store.
go and try the green pasta with breadsticks its the beat vegan pasta you'll ever have believe me!
Spicy pasta is great. Surprised by the show on Saturday night - very cool.
Try the sundried tomato & artichoke ravioli , garlic cream sauce , and add bacon . It's basically the Kianti Gourmet pasta with ravioli instead of bowties. Mmmmm
Wonderful flash mob style 70's disco show from the waiters , cooks, bartenders , busboys Fridays and Saturdays @ 6 and 8 PM. Big fun!
Spicy meat sauce is good. Best part is their Friday/Saturday flash mob/ pizza spin show
Go for brunch on weekends. $10 bottomless mimosas + delicous food = great time had by all.
The Kianti's Sauté is a great way to customize a delicious meal!
Excellent sandwiches and drinks were great too.
Kid friendly ! Great bloody Marys and awesome wings .
The marinara here is amazing, as is the garlic bread and the jalapeño breadsticks . Also, Will is an excellent waiter !
The pizza roll is a must have!!!
Really tasty cocktails .
Make your own pasta with basil ,mushroom and meatball are the good combination
Wouldn't allow our dog to sit on the sidewalk outside of their patio . While we ate.
Kids receive pizza dough to knead while they wait for their meal. Super fun.
Great that they give kids pizza dough to play with.
Try the Kianti's Special Pasta & Pizza Rolls ... So crip!
Good Cobb salad
Great service and food! A must-eat stop.
Pizza Is great!!!! Combination. Also try the lasagna ...

Rendezvous with Ruby is the best cocktail .

Mega calzone . Delicious. Read more
Show was at 8:45pm Friday for us
Spinach salad and garlic cheese bread
Don't sit in the bar for food, the service sucks, they allow kids there and loud obnoxious women. The other part of the restaurant is better.
Garlic cheese bread ! Rocks!
go Friday and watch the pizza spin
Los platillos son malos, quédate con la pizza , es buena.
Delicious!!!
Had a delicious mushroom ravioli special; not sure how often it's available but I'd definitely order it again given the chance. - Martin Atkins
Call ahead to get your name on the wait list, it's a must. Excellent food though it's a loud place to eat thus fine for kids. - Steve Trefethen
Strikes the perfect balance between big enough and not too big. Impressive programming for a small music venue in a small city, though the great vibe of both probably explains why bands keep coming. - Wilson Favre-Delerue
They had some really good cookies. I love the white chocolate macadamia one and my husband loved the chocolate chip with walnuts. You can also buy yesterday's cookies for less if you want - Michelle Arnaiz-Dela Rosa
Awesome milkshake, the salty caramel was perfect! Very nice way to satisfy a sweet tooth for desert. - Thibault Jousse
