INI Ristorante Debuts Summer Table Menu
08.22.25
As summer comes to a close, INI Ristorante is introducing its Summer Table menu, a limited-time offering that celebrates the spirit of Southern California dining with vibrant produce, global influences, playful heat, and dishes designed to be shared over long, relaxed meals.
The Summer Table menu is available daily through the end of the season. It combines INI’s Italian-forward approach with subtle Japanese influence. Highlights include Watermelon and Prosciutto with whipped ricotta and spicy seed crunch, Shrimp Rigatoni alla Rosa in a miso-tomato cream sauce, and Mala Lamb Pizza served with hot honey on the side. Dinner-only options feature a 14-ounce Prime Ribeye with caper chimichurri and Scallop Dashi Risotto finished with nori butter and egg yolk.
Most Summer Table dishes are available all day, with select items offered during dinner only. The menu is available for dine-in and takeout.
INI Ristorante offers seasonal, chef-driven menus that evolve throughout the year. For more information, including the full Summer Table menu and updates, visit iniristorante.com

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort, a coastal retreat set on 24 oceanfront acres, has completed a comprehensive renovation designed to elevate the guest experience. Located just steps from East Beach and close to downtown Santa Barbara, the resort now offers new amenities and refreshed spaces that reflect the region’s wellness-focused lifestyle.
Highlights include six new pickleball courts with sweeping coastal views, a revitalized pool deck with private cabanas and daybeds, and the debut of FLOAT Luxury Spa, which offers exclusive treatments in a serene setting. Guests can also enjoy updated poolside accommodations with private fire pits.
The upgrades mark a new era for Santa Barbara’s premier beachfront destination. Inspired by the surrounding community, the amenities invite guests to gather, relax, and stay active. From oceanfront fire pits perfect for sunset gatherings to a new Wine Tasting Room, Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort combines best-in-class amenities with thoughtful enhancements.
Guests can also enjoy seasonal bites from the poolside bar, Terraza del Mar, which has a new summer menu, or dine at the resort’s signature restaurant, The Set, known for bistro-style classics, handcrafted cocktails, and panoramic ocean views.
Often called the “Hamptons of the West,” Santa Barbara offers the quintessential coastal retreat. Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort features 335 coastal-inspired rooms and 25 suites, each with private balconies or patios overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Santa Ynez Mountains, or the resort’s lush gardens. The resort blends local culture with Hilton’s global expertise and signature service.
