Came with my husband after spending the day in Solvang. $6 for a can of coke! We had the burger, pizza and Caesar salad. I had to ask for water refill multiple times. Burger came out and there was mold on the bun. She took it out and just replaced the top bun. Nothing special about the pizza. read more

Made reservations at this restaurant and you really didn't need to as it wasn't very busy at 5:30 on a Friday. But later on all the restaurants got busier. Our server was Ava and she was very nice and friendly. I had a glass of rosé and chicken parmigiana that was humongous. my husband had Bolognese, and we also had the bread with tapenade. He had a glass of their Classico Chianti. We sat outside as it was a lovely evening. Also, prices were reasonable and we had leftovers which is always great. read more

Cecco Ristorante - My chicken parmigiana with spaghetti - Italian Near Me - Solvang, California

Everything. The authentic food, the knowledgeable server and the atmosphere. Looking forward to returning to this Solvang gem.

We were pleasantly surprised at Cecco Ristorante. We ate inside and the tables had white linen and napkins. Kayla was our hostess and server, she did an excellent job of serving us, and was very personable to talk with. We brought our own bottle of Pinot Noir and paid a $15 corkage.fee. We had Calamari and Chicken Marsala which was delicious. We wanted some sautéed spinach and the Chef made us a special order of it. Yum! It should be on the menu as it was a nice side to have. Thank you! We will come again when we are in the area. read more

During Danish Days this past weekend my husband and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary with lunch at Cecco. It was my first time eating here and I was completely blown away with the whole experience. It was a mad house on Saturday and the restaurant was packed house!! but my server Jennifer made my anniversary lunch with my husband so special. The attention to detail was so caring since the restaurant was packed but she took the time to make us feel special. The food and wine was excellent.I would definitely eat there again. My server recommended the tortelloni, and it was the best pasta I've ever had. Jennifer made the whole experience for us, she was completely slammed with Danish Days but managed to give us (locals) a wonderful anniversary lunch. I will definitely be back to see Jennifer and look forward to trying out the dinner menu! read more

Food and service were both good. We tried the margarita pizza and pesto pasta which were both perfect

Came in right when they opened at noon over the weekend. One group was in front of us followed by our group. The first group was sat and managed to get drinks and their order in before someone even came over to our table so service was slow and basically the bare minimum the whole meal. Pizza was very greasy but did taste good after we soaked up some of the grease. We did like their thinner crust. Was a convenient place to stop with the kids but there are so many food options in Solvang I'm not sure I would come back here. read more

My friends and I had a reservation last night and waited 10 minutes to be seated, while servers repeatedly walked past us without acknowledging us. When my friend asked to speak to the manager, a man said, "Sure," when asked if he was in charge. She explained the situation, and the waitress we had initially spoken to denied ever speaking to us and accused us of lying--despite having told us earlier there was no indoor seating. Needless to say, we left without eating. As someone who's worked in the service industry, I've never been treated so disrespectfully. That waitress was completely out of line and should consider a different profession. read more

Ooohhh la laaa the Margherita and Bianca pizzas absolutely made an impression on us. Pastas are made from scratch and the Alfredo and bolognese my husband and brother ordered were just perfection. If you're craving for the real deal, Cecco will deliver. I just wish the drinks weren't sold per glass (yes no free refills). Service however was great and the pocket garden setting is perfect for families with energetic kids like ours. read more

Our last stop in Solvang was to Cecco Ristorante for some Italian. They did not disappoint! The staff was so kind and attentive as we were the only ones there at the moment, i can't remember the guy's name that helped us but he was such a delight! We ordered the calamari to start and let me just say, WOW. I really enjoyed that the batter wasn't caked on and that it was just lightly breaded. My boyfriend doesn't like octopus but he ate this one because of how tender and lightly battered the chef made the plate. We then got the chicken fettuccine alfredo, which I wish we would have snapped a picture of before we ate it, but oh my god..i'm dreaming of that pasta. The chicken literally fell apart with every bite and the alfredo sauce was so thick and rich, just overall amazing! One of the BEST pastas i've tried. The next time we're in town we are definitely stopping by again. read more

Great service!!! Food is amazing and the service was great!!! Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who loves Italian food!

Customer service was okay but they do not clean their cups thoroughly enough there was still someone's lipstick markings on the cups!

Pizzas were amazing. Fettuccine Alfredo was very bland. Italian sodas were great. Service was amazing. Outdoor seating has heaters and plenty of lighting. We enjoyed ourselves. I would come again! read more

We loved the ambiance from a distance of this place and knew we had to try it. We sat outside on the bar area so we could people watch as we ate. The bruschetta was amazing! Also had some bread and oil, for $6 really wish it would have been more bread. We ordered the calzone, kinda disappointed because it had no the flavor. Would definitely come back though . read more

We tried this place only because a local resident recommended it to us, but my family and I were not impressed. It's a nice place decor wise but we expected more for the price and from the locals high recommendation. It's not expensive but also not cheap. The food itself was just ok. My family and I had the Bolognese and it wasn't great. It was very oily and kind of bland. We also had a pepperoni pizza for our picky kids and it was good pizza with good taste but also very oily/greasy. The Cesca pizza was our least favorite of it all. It just had this taste and texture to it that we did not like. I definitely do not recommend that one. We also had the Calamari and it was standard Calamari. We could have gotten everything elsewhere for cheaper for the same sup par taste. Service was good nothing great or exceptional but it was standard. Tended to and kind. read more

During my trip to Solvang just before Christmas, my +1 and I stopped here to eat. Our food was good, but the place needs some help. There were only two waitresses there and they looked like they were doing the best they could. It took a few minutes before they could get to us at the check-in (though there was no line) because there was no host/hostess. Once we were seated, we were parched and were hoping for a couple glasses of water to start... but on their menu there was an asterisk stating that due to water rationing, they only offered bottled water for sale. Seriously? So we waited another 10-15 minutes while they served other tables and got our drink orders. I ended up ordering a $3 or $4 Coke, which was brought out in a can with a cup of ice (wow, mark-up much? And so much for refills) and my +1 ordered a glass of wine which was fortunately delicious. We each ordered our own pizza -hers was a Marguerite style and I ordered pepperoni. That part at least shined. They reminded me of the ones we ordered in Rome. I know staffing is short everywhere, and those servers deserve a raise, so probably still would have given this place 4 stars, but refusing to serve water and overcharging for drinks is ridiculous. read more

Service is ok. I order the Osso buceo and it was super salty and has some cold parts like maybe was take it out from fridge and didn't warm it right the pizza margarita the tomato were cold ,maybe they forgot to put them in the oven and put it on after they got it from it. read more

One of my favorite spots in Solvang we love having lunch here with my kids, there is a nice patio to eat. I have tried the sandwiches and pastas but my kids stick to the pizza which is great and a good size would highly recommend if your in Solvang. read more

Had Dinner on a Friday night after thanksgiving. We sat outside. The food was good, service was ok. They did the bare minimum, would have expected a little bit better courtesy from the staff. The hostess was socializing with a few tables but not all, seemed selective towards people of specific culture/races. I've noticed it all around Solvang, the customer facing folks aren't very warm or welcoming, even a Costco cashier greets you with more warmth and makes small talk, and Costcos see 10x the folks than a small town like Solvang. This place was no different. read more

Came here for pizza only, and it was fantastic. True Italian style wood oven pizza. We had the Gorlomi and Funghi and both were very good. The Gorlomi had sweet Thai chili sauce which was such a fantastic flavor with pizza. Service was good and friendly and outdoor seating was nice. Overall the place was relaxed and causal. read more

They have a gorgeous outside patio. The food was all great we had bread, pizza, and carbonara. It may have been the best carbonara I've ever had! read more

Beet salad had too much vinegar. The tiramisu was covered in chocolate sauce to the point of being too sweet.

I didn't like the food here, the pizza was brought in a regular plate, it was covered in oil. I also ordered linguine with chicken, the chicken was simply cooked and the chicken pieces weren't even fried. read more

Want to rate negative actually. Refused service on an almost empty restaurant, telling there will be wait for an hour plus. Basically refusing to serve guest with kids or probably just racist. Skip for sure. read more

Beautiful setting in Solvang. Great food and service! When you are in Solvang and enjoy Italian cuisine this is the place to go

Everything was extremely busy in this area on a holiday weekend. This place was super attentive and fast which meant they were turning tables quickly and therefore were busy but didn't have a long wait. Great combination. The service was really what earned this five stars. Our server was fantastic. The food was good, a little bit expensive but everything tasted great and our server was very on it with checking up on us and bringing everything out. Notes for the restaurant: A pizza place should really have ranch? The Caesar dressing was an okay substitute but still kinda a bummer. Bottled water only is also a bummer - most restaurants in Santa Barbara just have an in house reverse osmosis filter you can buy at Costco. read more

Had a great dinner at this place the other night and was very impressed with the food and service. Their bolognese is the best and bread is to die for. Cesar salad is good too. Fun and friendly service from waitress Emily. Definitely recommend this place and I'll be back if I ever visit the area read more

Pizza I had was absolutely disgusting. They put way way too much Gorgonzola cheese on it and the whole thing tasted like fish. And our pasta had a hair in it... not to mention how overpriced this place is. Service was garbage too, took forever to get our appetizer and they gave our pasta to someone else by accident. Ambiance was alright. Need more heaters. read more

Wait time was not bad at all since we didn't make reservations for 10 in advance. Service was great, from the start. From the beautiful blonde haired Danish Hostess, (that apparently did multiple jobs from hostessing to cooking) along with a very sweet and patient waitress. Drinks came quickly as we were parched.. And food was above supreme. Definitely homestyle Italian foods and recipes and literally the best hamburger my Wife has ever tasted in her life. We loved the beautiful outdoor patio that is dog friendly also. Will be back ! read more

This was a good spot for Italian. The portions were large so we split a chicken Alfredo and Caesar salad. With wine and bread it was plenty for us. The service was a bit irregular but in the end it all came together. Only outside dining and no reservations needed. If we were staying two nights next time in Solvang we would prob explore other options. read more
