Santa Barbara Magazine

After years of treating the valley as a second home, Kathie and Mike Gordon—owners of the 25-year-old Brentwood eatery Toscana—decided to open S.Y. Kitchen Cucina Rustica along with Italian-born chef Luca Crestanelli last year. “We all believed the valley was ripe for something new,” says Kathie. “When we found the right place at the right time, well, what choice did we have?” There—in the front room, dining room, or porch of the charming farmhouse—diners can spend the evening lingering over warm octopus salad with leek, potatoes, taggiasca olives, and green beans followed by a wood-fired pizza or hearty dish of wild mushroom pappardelle with thyme and parmigiano, paired with a bottle of Italian or local wine, of course.
