Get to know Santa Barbara's newest kids on the block. Fresh ingredients and handmade care - they’re the secret to the homestyle Mexican cuisine available at ALITO’S downtown. Brothers Eduardo, Victor and Juan Carlos Carranza based the menu on the food their mother used to prepare for them while growing up in Mexico City. There’s a big traditional Sunday brunch also. 509 State Street, 805.845.7133, alitosonstate.com Husband and wife team Brendan Smith and Rachel Greenspan, following the success of their mobile pizza catering concept Autostrada, are on a mission to bring the finest Neapolitan-style pizzas and naturally leavened breads to the Santa Barbara community at BETTINA in the Montecito Country Mart. Greenspan describes the fare as “California cuisine with an Italian accent.” Choose from a well-crafted selection of spritzes, amari, digestifs, vermouths and a thoughtful mix of new and old-world wines. 1014 Coast Village Rd., 805.770.2382, bettinapizzeria.com
