Delicious is understatement. If you are a pizza and pasta lover this is a must. My husband and I ate here on a Saturday night. The service was fast and our food was fresh. I ordered a margarita pizza and my husband ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta. You can taste the authenticity from the pizza dough to the pasta noodles. **Chefs kiss** Our waitress was nice & told me everything is made from scratch in house by the chef. We will definitely come back whenever we're in town to try the rest of the menu!

Closed early on Valentine's Day. There's plenty more genuine places to try in the area, don't bother with this place!

The outside seating area is great. The food itself was amazing. My husband and I got a pizza and a caprese salad and shared both, which was enough food for us. The pasta dish someone at a table next to us was eating looked incredible. The service was fast and friendly. It was one of the more authentically European places (my husband and I are from Europe) in the pretty Americanized Solvang. The only complaint I had was the $11 lemon tart we ordered for dessert. It was small for the price, tasteless and had a dusty texture. I ate one bite of it and left the rest, which I have never done with any dessert.

I don't know what is with all the negative reviews. We went there today. The food and service were excellent. We ordered the fungi pizza and the kobe burger. They were very tasty. I love how low-salt the pizza was. Normally I don't like to eat pizza because of too much sodium. And the burger was excellent as well.

Restaurant "does not accept phone calls" and their website is " under maintainance". Are they still open?

My wife and I went to Solvand and celebrated our 44th anniversary. We could not get into a restaurant on Sunday New Years Eve so we went here and had lunch and it was great. We will be back.

Ordered two types of pizza without meat Margherita and Bianca. Loved both of them. Thin crust and very well cooked. We visited on the busy new year weekend and the restaurant was almost full. The service was good too.

During a recent visit my party and I encountered an unfortunate situation that marred our dining experience. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a hostess who, despite the pouring rain, informed us that we couldn't seek shelter inside the restaurant and would have to wait approximately 45 minutes for a table. Understandably, restaurants can be busy, and waits are expected. However, the lack of accommodation during inclement weather was disappointing.

This place actually does not want to serve customers.Servers are rude and come up with filmsy reason to indicate a 1hr+ wait, when most tables are empty. Not kid friendly.Avoid this place.

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.

We had a wonderful lunch on the Eve of Christmas Eve (yesterday). The day before we left for Solvang, I was checking out restaurant reviews for possible options while in town. My wife and I got a kick out of the Owner’s snarky, but mostly warranted responses to a few bad reviews. Around 1:30, we were ready for lunch and noticed Cecco, remembered the reviews/responses and decided we must eat there. We only waited about 10-15 minutes for a table, which was a surprise with how busy the town and restaurant were. We had many laughs trying to come up with bad reviews. Here are a few:Their canned Diet Coke tastes terrible (always does no matter where you are).Some slices of my pizza were smaller than other slices.Kids input: this chocolate mouse tastes like chocolateThe $6 bread was 100% worth it. I’d drink that tapenade.Both kids had pasta with butter and Parm. Off menu, but they made it and both loved it.My wife loved the Caesar salad.We shared a beet salad, which was very good.My Gormoli pizza (peppers, onions, garlic) was fantastic. Their dough/crust is very good. I dipped that in the insanely good tapenade too!Our server/service was friendly and quick.Thanks for a great lunch. We’ll be back.

Worst service ever . The server was a racist who didn’t seat us wantedly . She refused to seat us even if we were ok splitting up . She kept yelling at our face and walked out . David - another server was equally rude and refused even give us an explanation despite us waiting 40 mins in the cold .

Good was delicious! Staff was great, even though it could be a little bit of a wait during Julefest time. Outdoor patio is covered and heated. Kid friendly.Kid-friendliness: Good with kids
