Italian Grocery and Deli Relocates After Nearly 40 Years

Tino’s Italian Grocery re-opens its doors in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara. This past year Young Construction had the privilege of working with the Tino’s family in establishing their new location at 210 W. Carrillo Street.

The much loved deli has a long history in Santa Barbara and has been a cherished part of the lives of many members of the community. Valentino “Tino” Ziliotto established the business in 1947 and had only moved the Deli to one other location since, which was on De La Guerra Street where it operated for nearly 40 years.

Many would agree that Tino’s makes the best Italian sub sandwiches in town, and we are happy to know that the family promises to continue Tino’s legacy by keeping the sandwiches and service the same. The bright new deli and grocery store has a fresh new feel, but maintains the old classic Italian flavor we love.

Client Words

I would like to applaud the exceptional efforts provided by Young Construction to make the new downtown campus for Antioch University Santa Barbara a reality. In order to meet the needs of the University the entire team was required to address a very tight design and construction schedule, closely monitor costs to meet the budget limitation of an educational client, and deliver a product whose quality reflects the standards of a collegiate institution.
We believe that the city officials assigned to the project allowed for an accelerated building schedule because of the level of professionalism exhibited by the YC team and the trust fostered by their attention to critical issues of code compliance and life-safety.

We have worked with Young Construction for 17 years including both new construction and maintenance of a 6000 sq ft contemporary home and more recently on smaller home in downtown Santa Barbara. Bob and Dave have consistently demonstrated unsurpassed attention to detail, responsiveness, honest budgeting, precise scheduling and a personal interest in their client’s project. The Young Construction staff and their subcontractors are exemplary, and we always recommended them without hesitation.
