The quaint ristorante and bar, which is located in Montecito, California, has hosted a slew of stars, including Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker, Ellen DeGeneres, Sofia Richie, Scott Disick, and most recently, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – who headed there on Wednesday evening to celebrate the Duchess of Sussex’s 42nd birthday.

A third of Brits going on holiday this year will return to a destination they’ve previously visited, according to research.
