Osteria Grappolo, Solvang CA

Went here during a spring break trip last year and let me tell you, the food here was absolutely delicious! I got the spaghetti carbonara and I’ve never tasted anything so good! Would definitely recommend however the prices are a bit much, especially if you’re on a budget. Other than that great experience and amazing food!

Worst Italian food I've ever had. Pre-made frozen meatballs and veal that was inedible.

We spent more than 20 minutes waiting for terrible service, as if they did it with the intention of wanting to drink wine and it was not possible.

Pretty good pasta and wine, family ambience quick food service without reservations or long lines

My boyfriend got food poisoning from the Sole Delfina.

The servers were fine. Just really don't love the fact that the fish was nasty. I'm lucky that the chicken didn't get me too.

We just got discriminated here. I'm not sure if it was because of my race, because of my brother, who is autistic, or a combination of both.
When we arrived at the restaurant we were told we could go to the bar. We sat and were ready to order drinks however, I'm not sure if it was a manager or owner, but he asked us if we wanted to sit in the back and escorted us
outside to the back of the restaurant to another room. When we got there, we got to sit down, and the waitress was super attentive to us. Suppose anything positive was her attentiveness to everyone after a short moment of my mom getting a coffee and us ordering.
The owner or manager informed us that he was sorry but didn't know there was a reservation for our table. The table he had just placed us in. He asked us to move once again. As we were leaving, a family made a joke about us moving, I understand things happen, and he can't control what others assume was the the manager asking us to leave the restaurant. That was the assumption of a random person. Kinda felt blah people laughing at us.

We were moved twice and told we would get a dessert for free for the inconvenience. I thought wow, thats cool. After all, I mean, it's a dessert, and mistakes happen after we got moved now to the front of house.

A new waiter came to us to give us the food.
And he offered us cheese. My brother is nonverbal and doesn't make eye contact with
people. It's part of the spectrum. He is super
quiet. I don't think Cesar liked how he did not reply to him. However, I spoke up and said yes to the cheese, and I asked him if we could get some bread for the table.

Cesar said yes and never came back to check on us at all. My mom never got a refill of her coffee or my water. We never got the bread, and we never saw him again until he was ready for us to pay. If anything, it felt like we got rushed to leave. The dessert the owner or manager promised never arrived either. The whole experience felt a bit painful, to be honest. The reason I do say it felt like we were discriminated against is because we got moved twice. The service that Cesar provided felt uncomfortable. It felt like he purposely avoided us, he would check on others except us as if we were pushed to his section, and he had to be FORCED to give us service, which he didn't even do besides bringing our food and charging us. Absolutely no conversation of asking how we were doing, if we needed anything, nothing. For example, when we needed napkins or refills, he was nowhere near us. The way he avoided our table and service felt personal. I, however, tipped him well since it's the holidays.

I wanted to end with something positive: the waitress in the back who got us water and coffee was really kind to us, and I saw her walking around and asking others what they needed, etc.

However, if you're of Latino descent, have anyone with a disability, or support anyone who has a disability, please listen. I would strongly avoid this place at all costs.

The food was cold and burnt and the owner of the restaurant had the worst behavior and language.

Chicken Alfredo was great not to heavy and not to light. They gave us great amount of food for what we payed. Will come here again thank you for your service!

1st of all.it was xmas weekend in Solvang, so it real bz on that Saturday. It was like 45 minutes to an hour for a seat or more. The food is fantastic, the service was good, but.it took a while for the people next to me to get their dinner. Been here before.good thing I called in for takeout. In and out in 15 minutes. Bon Apitet!

Our visit to this restaurant was marred by burnt food and the owner's disrespectful response. Despite voicing our concerns, the owner's abusive behavior left us deeply disappointed. The insensitivity of wishing us a "Merry Christmas" afterward only added to the unpleasant experience. Caution to those considering dining here.

Great Italian pasta and burgers/sandwiches. Service is quick and the prices are reasonable. I had the wagyu burger and it was delicious.

Unfortunately, they were hosting three parties which overwhelmed the kitchen and caused the wait and kitchen staff to be strained. It took over 20 minutes for my drink order to be placed and over an hour and fifteen minutes to receive the entree. The food was tasty even though it was a bit under seasoned for my taste. The calamari appetizer was fantastic with the batter being very light and crispy. The burrata salad was really good as well.

Portion size is small. Tried Jalapeño poppers and risotto primavera pasta. Public Parking is available right next to the restaurant.

Don't like the idea of charging credit fee. 3% on top of 20% gratuities.
Didn't notice it on the manu.

Basic menu; food is honest and nicely prepared. Nothing creative or unusual. Wine menu slightly disappointing. Correctly features regional wineries, but is somewhat limited as to choice. I missed some of the excellent locals.

Love the bread basket, the softest sourdough I have ever experienced thanks Rick for chatting with us even though it was BUSY! Thanks for the wine recommendations as well yall. Great people, great service, great good.

The "boss" cams around asking about our meals, they were plain he didn't like the critic and was super rude. Never coming back. On the other hand the employees were nice to us.

This place is amazing for a fancy birthday celebration. We love to celebrate out here in solvang lovely tourist place to relax and unwind. Osteria os a nice place to dine. So let's get down to the truths. I ordered some scampi with zucchini and some fish with lemon and linguini best and creamy flavors. The fish was moist, and the pasta had the right amount of sauce, This fish dish was recommended and was delicious to say the least. I will come back if I'm around town. The bar area and seating are neat. Enjoy! And thanks!
