Best service and food! Came in for my birthday dinner and although we did not have reservations on a busy evening, they kindly found us a table right away. Server was fun and amazing! My son and I cleaned off every plate you see in the photos! They have a giant bar menu as well including a full page of dozens of wine choices! All 5 stars from me!

This place was awesome! We enjoyed all the food; it was very tasty and flavorful. The staff were so pleasant and made us feel very comfortable. A big shoutout to our server Shawn! He made our experience even more memorable! He had a great wine option for us non-wine drinkers. We are definitely looking forward to going back.

The restaurant was full and bustling when we arrived. We were shown to our tables after a short wait and our waiter appeared with menus and explained the days specials. We placed a drinks order and proceeded to peruse the menu. The drinks arrived in a staggered manner and one of them was missing the requested garnish, which was rectified after a short delay. The pumpkin soup and beef tartare arrived next. The pumpkin soup was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend it. The tartare was overly tart being doused in too much lemon. Next came the short rib ravioli, the pep pizza, the branzini and the pork chop. The pork chop was cooked well and had a nice sauce and the carrots were a nice accompaniment, the pep pizza needed to be crispier, the branzini was cooked perfectly and so was the ravioli. For dessert we tried the tartufo and lemon sorbet. Both were very tasty but hard to eat with the rather small spoons, hard shells and big plates. The service was very lax at our table. The second round of drinks took quite a while to arrive and one of the drinks went to several tables before arriving at ours. We were not checked on during the meal and I would have loved some fresh pepper or red chili to go with my meal. I think it may just have been too busy, but it was a shame to be let down by the service while the food was generally quite good. If you liked my review please give me a thumbs up to let me know! Follow me for more fun reviews.

If you have the chance to visit this wonderful ristorante in the beautiful village of Solvang, you should. The food was delicious and fresh. The atmosphere was elevated in the evening and comfortable during lunch time. The service is always excellent. The servers all have great suggestions and recommendations. Overall very nice experiences both times I went. We will definitely be back anytime we're in the area.
