Toscana Solvang Reviews
Good dining experience— Food, Service and ambience. We (3) tried out the Toscana Pizza (NYC style crust) and Meatballs (Polpette Al Sufi). Both were delicious. Tiramisu was great to finish the meal.
I have eaten here 1 time before, but this second time around 4pm was a whole different vibe!! Food was always amazing!! My boyfriend tried the meatballs with spaghetti, he said the sauce was a little runny but he added chili flakes and chili oil and it really enhanced the flavor, BREAD LADIES 10/10 was so good added chili oil and it was chef kiss! I had the calebrese pizza ( apologies if I spelled it wrong) freshly made to order and very delicious you do not need to add anything, but I love extra cheese parmesan cheese flakes!! Our waitress KAT was absolutely amazing and understanding! Answered all our questions about the specials!! Now I will tell you if you get a alcoholic drink they do not have the regular liquor for it, but they are very understanding if you want it remade, extra liquor, or if you just don’t want it, our little date in solvang ending with this restaurant made it very special!! Thank you so much Toscana! We will be back everytime !!! P.S bread was of good I forgot to take a picture until we were almost done!!
Me and my family love the food. It was so good. The service was great. We only waited 15 minutes to get the pizza and they even put a heart on the cappuccino my dad ordered. We love the service and we will definitely come back.😍
Found this place as I took my wife to Solvang for the first time for a quick weekend visit. Mostly because of this restaurant we may be going back more often.
Love this place! They have authentic italian food thats absolutely amazing! Service is always great as well! Highly recommend!
Great food and service! Our server Erika was so kind! She was very welcoming and gave us good recommendations! The dishes were well served and really good!
Great pizza and pasta, the workers were really nice, and it felt like I was in europe. 5 stars😁
Always a wonderful experience. Hillary was very helpful with the menu items and drink selections. The portions are good value for the price. We took boxes and enjoyed the next day. Will definitely return!
Went here with my family with seniors in it. Loads of vegetarian options, quick service. The pizzas were hand rolled and just perfect !! Paninis was great too .. fresh ingredients and just perfect. A little bit on pricier side but everything in Solvang is !!

Excellent pizza!!! The pizza crust is thin and crispy, the sauce is tasty, the prosciutto is savory and arugula was fresh. The Polpette al Sugo were incredible. We’ll definitely be back next time we visit Solvang. A must try!
Met my sister I hadn't seen for at least 3 years, for an early dinner this last weekend. I was a little unsure at first but chose the Rollino Toscana dish. Crazy yummy mushrooms + mozzarella with an amazing sauce, covered in arugula and fresh tomato. Flat out the best food I've had out in a long time. I couldn't help but eat the entire thing. Also, our server was super cool, and let us hang out and talk for hours. Great outside ambiance and the weather was perfect. I will be back for more!
One of the best experiences. The day we had lunch they were hosting a Ferrari Club event at the restaurant. The owner was so nice & humble, he even gave us tips how to choose olive oil. I can’t describe how amazing the food was, we ordered bruschetta & pasta. Me & my husband were blown away with Bruschetta, we have never had anything better than this in our entire life. We would give 10/10 to the restaurant and the service. My husband wants to drive 2 hours again just to eat at this restaurant
Absolutely perfect! Highly recommend. We had the margarita pizza and the crust was spot on, to perfection. I don’t think you can go wrong here with anything. The staff was beyond hospitable, professional and quick to respond to everything with a smile. And the ambiance was amazing! We sat outside in January under the lights near the fountain, listening to flamenco sipping on wine. Will absolutely come back and highly recommend.
Davey MADE our experience. He was the host, we met him just exploring the town. Our interaction with him is what made us come back later for dinner. His attention during our meal was so on point, his input on dishes to order was perfect and the personal touch to say goodbye was so heartfelt. We loved the food & the wine but we loved to Davey the most!
We were fortunate to be able to drop in without reservations on a Sunday evening around 5:30. My husband and I shared the bruschetta and lasagna. The bruschetta was a bit unconventional served on warm fresh flatbread. But it was delicious. The lasagna was perfectly flavorful and balanced with just the right amount of cheese. We ordered a wonderful Chianti. The patio seating is quaint and charming with a fountain, lights, and Italian style music. It reminded me of eating Al fresco in Europe. Our server was so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and efficient. We will definitely come back .
Toscana's was amazing with superb food, service, ambiance. Our party of five each ordered something different off the menu and everything was so delicious! Executive Chef Michele Mancuso made his rounds throughout the restaurant making sure all diner were happy with their food. Toscana is at the top of my list being one of the best Italian eateries!

We celebrated our anniversary at Toscana, we had a wonderful “very thin” crust pizza which is what we like! Very delicious! Our waiter and waitress were great and we loved eating outside by the fountain and enjoyed the outside heated towers to keep the chill away! Enjoy!

Food was delicious and the atmosphere is above average. Service however was a little lacking. When we got there we where told it was a 2 to 3 hour wait, but 70% of the tables where open. Not sure why it would have been so long of a wait, but we did have reservations and told the waitress. She wasn't very helpful when we asked about the menu and what was delicious. I will go back again to give it another try as the food was great and atmosphere was nice.
The ambiance was better than the food. Nice portions, good service, beautiful patio dining in the evening with warm twinkle lights everywhere. The bruschetta was not good at all...it was a medium pizza sized flat bread with a pile of wet Roma tomatoes on top, maybe four tiny shreds of basil, no garlic, no salt and pepper, basically no flavor whatsoever. So skip that and get some warm pasta or a pie and enjoy the experience!

Avoid coming here while visiting Solvang. A local recommended this restaurant to us, but unfortunately the customer service was extremely disappointing. The staff was 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 man 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.Avoid coming here while visiting Solvang. A local recommended this restaurant to us, but unfortunately the customer service was extremely disappointing.

I visited this restaurant on 11/9, my experience wasn't as good as expected. Firstly, the waitress was really rude - I asked for outside seating, but she said there was not availability because the costumer that were seating had recently sat down & I understand. Then our table was rocking - I politely asked the waitress if could switch to the other table because it was uncomfortable, but it seemed like she didn't like. After that, we order lasagna & pesto pasta - we waited 20 - 25 min for our food to come out. The people that came after us got their food first. After patiently waiting for so long the food tasted horrendous. Worst pesto pasta I've ever tried - it was full of oil & no taste at all (see pic bellow). My husband's lasagna was salty & had a really bad presentation that didn't look appetizing. The waitress never came to ask us if we needed anything else or just to check on us. In addition, the prices dont match the service nor quality. So overall, I don't recommend this place if you're looking to have a good Italian meal even if this is your last option. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE.

I had a very disappointing experience at Toscano. We were seated right by the entrance where cold air kept blowing in every time the door opened. It was extremely uncomfortable. We politely asked if we could move to another table, especially since the restaurant appeared mostly empty, but our request was denied without much explanation or effort to accommodate us. When we asked to speak to a manager, we were told there wasn’t one available. Shortly after, a staff member named Jessica approached us and spoke in a very rude and unprofessional manner. She raised her voice and made a scene, saying they had no other tables available except for reservations. The way the situation was handled made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. After that interaction, I honestly didn’t feel at ease staying to enjoy the meal. Customer service makes a big difference, and unfortunately this experience fell far below expectations. Based on this visit, I probably won’t be returning.
If I could give this place zero stars, I would. We called Tuscana ahead of time to confirm our reservation, and they assured us everything was set. But when we arrived in restaurant, they had no record of it and the staff was incredibly rude about the situation. No apology, no attempt to accommodate us, and no basic courtesy. We were left completely stranded despite doing everything right on our end. We still ended up ordering pizza, and honestly it was nothing special. Very average, nothing memorable, and definitely not worth the hassle or attitude we dealt with. Solvang has plenty of great options and this is not one of them. I would strongly recommend going elsewhere.
Waiting 40 minutes for an 18 inch pie. The margarita pizza had meat added to it. They took and back and I caught them pulling the meat off of the pizza instead a make a fresh non meat one. Not good. If you have allergies you may be in for a surprise here.
