I was visiting in the area and a local recommended this restaurant. The restaurant is big and…read morespacious on the inside and also had outside seating. We went for lunch to try out a couple things. We were seated immediately and offered menus. We ordered a seared ahi salad, calamari, bolognese, and mushroom pizza. The ahi salad was delicious. The vinaigrette was delicious and refreshing. The ahi was seared just right. The calamari was flavorful and crispy. It also came with some shrimps which was a nice surprise. The bolognese was nice and hearty. The pizza had the perfect crust thickness and tasted even better when I baked it for dinner later in the day. Overall, we enjoyed everything we tried and would like to come back on the next visit.

Last year, our visit was great! This year, not so much. They sat us in a room in the back which was…read morejust ok. It didn't have the energy that the main dining room has but our party was 9, so we understood! The service was not that great. Didn't like our snotty waitress and the food servers were also rude. The food was meh this time. The bruschetta was salty, the ceasar salad was tasteless, the chicken piccata was lousy. It barely had any sauce, the potatoes were dry and looked like Terds, and the spinach had a long, black hair wrapped in it. The chicken parm was great and so was spaghetti. The pane cotta was pitiful. They cut back on the portion size. Tiramisu was bleh and they served us melted spamoni! All around bad night, August 4th! Unfortunately we will not return.

The food, service and everything was amazing. We sat outside on the patio since we had our dog with us which was a plus. Here's what we ordered for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) Bread Basket (Free) and warm! We dunked in on a plate of olive oil & balsamic vinegar Spaghetti carbonara (5/5) $21 Very simple pasta dish, creamy spaghetti noodles smothered in cream, eggs, and tiny bits of pancetta. This was my fav dish also the birthday girls fav too. Linguine al pesce (4/5) $25 We wanted another base so tomato based with linguine and a variety of seafoods: shrimp, salmon, clams, mussels, squid Pepperoni sausage pizza (5/5) $24 The pizza wasn't too thick or thin and had a nice helping of pepperoni and sausage on top. We got extra Parmesan on all 3 dishes and ended up gobbling it all up. And to top it off they came in with a candle and a custard cake with chocolate and caramel to make it such a sweet ending for us to sing Happy Birthday to our daughter. Thank you for making it extra special!

UPDATE (September 2026) -- 1 Star (Worse than last year):…read more After leaving my original review, the owner left a sarcastic response telling me that "Osteria Grappolo will benefit from all your wisdom." Well, I gave his establishment the benefit of the doubt and returned a year later--and it was even worse. My girlfriend ordered the exact same dish (spaghetti with clams) hoping for improvement. Instead, my girlfriend got a pile of dry, tasteless pasta with almost no sauce and dried-out clams--even fewer than last year. My girlfriend barely touched her pasta either. So much pasta was ridiculous and tasteless. The service was as bad as last year but instead of a girl, this year was a guy and was completely indifferent. When we asked about the specials since we remembered that last year the waitress Claudia never told us about it, we asked, but instead of telling us, the waiter lazily pointed to a board far across the room, forcing my girlfriend to twist around just to read it, why couldn't he simply tell us, who knows, I guess he didn't want to talk. He never checked on us throughout the meal. When he came to take the plates away, he had so have noticed that my girlfriend barely had any pasta, yet, he asked her nothing and simply took the plate away. We ordered the $11 tiramisu hoping to salvage the night--huge mistake. It tasted terrible, clearly mass-pre-made, and was barely worth $1. We took one single bite and couldn't eat any more. When clearing our table, the waiter took away two practically full plates of pasta and an untouched tiramisu without saying a word. He never asked if anything was wrong, never offered to replace the dish, and never asked if we wanted a different dessert. Instead, he just dropped off the bill charging full price for everything we barely touched--and like idiots, we even tipped. $90 dollars literally thrown in the trash. Even if I paid $10 dollars, if the food is bad, I would have been upset. To top it off, the owner was doing the exact same routine as last year--ignoring smaller tables, making awkward jokes with larger groups, and pacing around the patio moving things around, closing the umbrellas around the tables. And interesting enough, mostly my girlfriend noticed it, not kidding either, he was wearing the same identical shirt and jeans as the year before, can't forget that shirt, what are the chances, must be his uniform, does it matter? Of course not, the bad experience, food and service is what mattered, and all failed, but funny to us nevertheless, felt like a repeat of one of the Twilight Zone episodes. His arrogant response to my first review claimed he cared about feedback, but the total lack of quality and hospitality proves otherwise. Save your time and money--go anywhere else in Solvang. To the owner, no worries, I will never come back to your restaurant, and this time trust me, I mean it, my money is as good as you and your staff need it to enjoy and survive I as well work hard for my money.

Why does this one have a different color from this same kind? How does this Brie compare to this kind I'm familiar with? And so on.

We were lucky to dine at the bar; Mr. Maciel took truly excellent care of us the whole evening, remembering every request and taking care of every detail for our dining experience. His wine recommendations were also spot on. We decided to focus on three different pastas and were not disappointed. Highly recommended. My absolute favorite was the Wild Mushroom Pappardelle but honestly, every pasta was delicious. Portions were generous and leftovers were promptly boxed up to take home. Folks clearly schedule special dinners here, warranting dressing up, but casual diners such as ourselves also felt comfortable. I'd recommend dining at the bar for exceptional service and a front-line seat to all the action.

Nothing to complain about here. Mussels and Frites - Delicious and perfect for two servings. We took the sauce home and made a pasta with it. Fries are great. Brussel Sprouts - My least favorite as it was undercooked and not as crispy as I would've liked but still delicious. Only thing I would knock on is the bathroom. The toilet seat is quite industrial.
