- MMayaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoVisiting Solvang for the first time, my family and I went twice to this restaurant! I really enjoyed the two meals I had - Fish of the day (I chose the Halibut), and it came with such yummy potatoes! I also had the Chicken parmesan, the right amount of seasoning and cheese, and it was very soft! Also the (non-alcoholic) cucumber sparkling drink! Oh! And that tiramisu was one of the best ones I've tried so far! The bartender, waiters, host, cooks, busser, and every staff member were so nice! And they even recognized us coming back. I want to come back here to try the pastas! Till next time and thank you for such a wonderful time. Appreciation from a family from Oakland, CA! :)More infoLeonardo Ristorante & PizzeriaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Solvang•4.8
- RRobertVIPSan Diego •16 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoIncredible service! So nice and helpful as this was our first visit. All of her recommendations were spot on. The artichoke didn’t stand a chance as our kids caught on the ended up devouring it. Our group had a pizza, pomegranate salad special, their pasta special with shaved truffles, and the sliders. Their craft cocktails are well done and her recommendation for an Italian white was money. No room for dessert. Must try if you’re passing through.More infoSY KitchenPrice: Expensive• Italian• Santa Ynez Valley•4.9
- AAndresCalifornia Central Coast •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoDinning here is always a good time, i like my steak medium chard and most places always fail ever so slightly but ever time time i dine here they cook it perfectly. Personally i find the tables to be a bit too close there fore your could overhear another parties conversation, i would as for a corner table next time to help with this. Other than that i would definitely recommend this restaurant for any occasion you want to remember.More infoNella Kitchen and BarPrice: Expensive• Californian• Santa Ynez Valley•4.7
