    Jessica if that's really her name, she was rude and dismissive. Won't be coming back!
    Diana D.

    Avoid coming here while visiting Solvang. A local recommended this restaurant to us, but unfortunately the customer service was extremely disappointing. The waiters were rude and refused to let us speak with a manager. We went on Valentine's weekend Sunday night, and the restaurant was only about 50% full. Despite that, we were seated right by the entrance while it was 55 degrees outside and we had our toddler with us. When we politely asked for a different table, a young guy with bleached blonde hair told us, "That's all we have." When we asked to speak to a manager, Jessica came over and immediately asked, "What's the matter?" in a very dismissive tone. She claimed they were fully reserved, which didn't make sense given how empty the restaurant looked, and still refused to accommodate us. This was one of the rudest service experiences I've ever had. I would not recommend coming here.

    Lasagna on the left and ravioli on the right

    I came to Toscana during Valentine's Day weekend with my boyfriend on a Sunday during our trip to solvang. The ambiance is incredible, it's in a cute courtyard and walking distance from our hotel in downtown (the Winston). I got the lasagna and my bf got the ravioli. We got seated by the bar as we walked in without reservations and they accommodated us in a very timely manner. The lasagna had a bit too much red sauce for me personally but it was good. The ravioli was better. The tiramisu was average. They ran out of bread as well. Overall, a nice experience with average Italian food.

    Warm Focaccia
    Cindy O.

    Excellent server but our food was a disappointment. We loved the fresh warm focaccia! Highly recommend ordering as a starter! I would suggest sticking with pizza and avoid the pasta dishes. Pizzas looked great, however, we had great pizzas for lunch! We ordered two pasta dishes. I had the scallops with risotto, a special, and my husband had the braised beef ravioli. My scallops were okay, better if they were pan seared. The risotto was a bright yellow color, I expected a saffron flavor based on the color. The taste was completely off and I couldn't figure out what the taste was supposed to be, a bit sweet but whatever it was meant to be definitely did not compliment the scallops and wasn't edible. Sad as the risotto had a nice texture and cooked right, just have no idea what the base was, usually broth based. This was a special only on the board and was not explained by the server nor any menu description on the board. I love risotto (and make it frequently) hence why the disaapointment. My husband's ravioli were just okay. He thought the quality seemed more like frozen vs housemade. For $30 there was only four ravioli on the plate. Value and quality missing. Not sure why there are so many great reviews, and why I selected this restaurant for dinner. Not sure if was an off night?

    Outdoor courtyard
    Stephanie K.

    Popped in for a pickup this past weekend, and dang, really wished we could have eaten here! Toscana is adorable and tucked into a lovely little plaza. It has the most romantic courtyard for outdoor seating complete with fairy lights and a fountain. The pizzas were delicious! Thin chewy crust with a crispy edge, generous toppings, and delicious flavors. We had the Genovese and the Quattro Stagioni. Highly recommend! Kat took my order over the phone and went out of her way to help accommodate my family's dietary restrictions by suggesting dishes and alternatives they could whip up. She called when all the food was ready and made sure we had the utensils and plates we needed. She even took care to pack the Bruschetta separately so 1) it wouldn't get soggy and 2) the cold tomatoes would not get warm from contact with the hot food. I really appreciated her kindness and fantastic service. Definitely check out Toscana if you're in town and craving Italian food!

    Had an amazing time with my family at Toscana! Itzel was a friendly and attentive waitress. She made us feel right at home. She has a great smile and kind mannerism. We loved her! There is much to choose from in the menu and portions are large and shareable. Quality and taste was great. Drinks and cocktails were superb, very satisfying. The restaurant was cozy and had comfortable seating inside and outside on a patio area. It was very Italy themed, absolutely inviting.

    Pesto Pasta
    Rami L.

    This place is the best the food is soooo good including the pesto pasta. The service was amazing, and the ambiance was very nice and elegant. 9.75/10 would recommend.

    Trecolore pizza
    Barbara S.

    In town for the first time with a friend and her two dogs and we weren't sure where we could have dinner with the dogs so when we saw Toscana in the courtyard we walked over to inquire and so happy they were dog friendly! We decided to split the arugula salad which was huge and equal to the best I've had. It's one of my favourites so was happy with how good this is. We also split the trecolore pizza I believe it was called. Basically the margherita with added fresh tomato. Loved the crust but the sauce was a little bland but our server brought over some chili for us and some Parmesan and all was right with the world! We sat outside and it was a little cool so they had the heaters on and that made it comfortable. Every server there was friendly and helpful and good at their job. Would definitely go back if I visited town again!

    Every time I visit Solvang I have to make a pitstop here. I met the owners about four years ago as I was in town for the Christmas tree lighting. I had a wonderful time at the restaurant then and I've also enjoyed stopping by for two other visits. Great food and great atmosphere indoors and out.

    Kat was an amazing host/bartender. best margarita ever. 10/10 The manager on the other hand created a unwelcoming atmosphere. you can tell he doesn't appreciate his staff. food was way below expectations. get drinks from Kat. go to literally any other restaurant for food.

    I'd hope it had more flavor to have a nice presentation, but it failed, in my opinion.
    Gabriela A.

    The ambiance was great outdoors near a fountain, family friendly. The service was a bit slow and the food presentation was nice, although it was missing more flavor in my opinion.

    Boscaiola Pizza
    Elisse M.

    The food was amazing! I gave 4 stars only because we waited almost an hour before we got served. They seemed really short staffed, so it took a long time for us to order our food and receive it. Otherwise, the food was so delicious! One of the best pizzas I've had. The staff were also friendly.

    Lasagna
    Helen T.

    Right when you walk up to the restaurant.. you're in awe how beautiful it is. You're welcome with a closed off water fountain courtyard & lights over outdoor seating made it so romantic in the evening! We were also offer heat lamps to stay warm and cozy throughout our dinner! We didn't make reservations which seems to be a good idea around Solvang but luckily we didn't wait long before getting seated. Our a server was super nice, bubbly, & provided great recommendations. Food was overall delicious. We ordered pasta and the red sauce and it was yum! We got check up on with drinks & food which was nice. Would recommend!

    Thin crust cheese pizza with fresh basil!

    Final Girl Wines was a must stop for me while visiting Solvang!…read more Final Girl Wines is located in the heart of Solvang and is a funky addition to this magical little town. I am a huge horror fan so I was beyond excited to check them out over the weekend! The inside and vibe was all I could hope for and more! We were immediately greeted when we arrived and found a table to sit at and enjoy our time. There were only a few tables plus bar seating available so it was nice and cozy. I loved seeing all of the horror memorabilia, decor and merchandise throughout including the killer Ghostface mask and Halloween pinball machine. My husband ordered a glass of their Cab which he loved and I ordered a Vamperol Spritz - they were even kind enough to make our daughter a mocktail. They even brought her over a Nightmare Before Christmas activity kit to keep busy and we bought a Michael Myers sticker as well as a Nightmare Before Christmas hair clip to take home. I'm kicking myself now for not buying a t-shirt! Kids are very welcome at this winery which was a huge plus for us! Staff were personable and made our visit very enjoyable! Final Girl Wines also offers tasting flights and non-alcoholic options as well! They do not offer food, but there are so many great places in Solvang to check out. If you're a horror fan or just enjoy good wine, you have to check out Final Girl Wines while in Solvang! I can't wait to come back and give them another visit one day!

    Took my cousin for the 1st time to Solvang. She LOVES horror stuff. Got excited to try wine and…read morebest better than a horror wine shop. The wall colour was pretty but was a little unimpressed with the amount of horror stuff. Maybe having a horror movie on the back corner playing silent would be cool or more Halloween decorations? Somthing was missing. The chimney was cool though. Anyways, shop opened over an hour late. Came back a few times and noticed it was opened. We were the 1st customers in. My main issue is only the owner was not paying attention to not only us (party of 4) but also the couple in the front and the back corner. Gave all his attention to the people at the bar. I dont drink wine and wanted to learn more or at least which wine I like. He couldn't keep up with pouring my wine flight. Waited way too long for pours. Very little explanation of the wine or suggested pairings. And mentioned more than once "I forgot about you". My party was fed up wanted to leave after they finished their spritzers and glass but I was flight pour 3 out of 5. He did not asked if they wanted more drinks. My partner got tired of waiting and headed over to the counter for 10 minutes before being helped to pay since he did not go to our the table. I'm glad we decided to not eat there who knows how long we would have waited on food. I double the Suggestion from another post hire some additional help. I did see thought the day the shop is packed and I'm happy for that but I wish the owner would of delivered a better experience.

It def was a fun Speakeasy cause you don't know it's there unless you know what to look for because as you enter it's just a store that sells beer and snacks and that all. They have different varieties of beer here for purchase as well. As we came in the vibes are so chill not a very big place but enough to come hang with friends and have a beer on tap. They have an outdoor patio with heaters and TV's to catch a game as well. They sell some snacks but you are able to bring your own food which is really neat.

So I ended up just walking a bit farther to find a place to finish up some work on a Friday evening. Enter, Backroom Brewery. It's almost like a nondescript main entrance, like a store front where to go beers are sold. But then real through the store towards the back; voila the bar and patio. The vibe is super chill. There are a multitude of other breweries drafts on tap so that's great. Prices are a tad higher than what I've paid but it's a tourist area so it is what it is. Come check their place out when you get a chance!
