" I had a fantastic experience at Osteria Grappolo! From the appetizer to dessert, everything was a delight. We ordered the seafood risotto, and it was rich and creamy with an abundance of flavor. The tiramisu for dessert was light and sweet, making it the perfect finish to the meal. The staff was attentive, and we really appreciated the warm and welcoming environment. A perfect place for couples and families alike. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful meal here while visiting Solvang! I was a bit skeptical about the ‘Italian’ food since I usually prefer home-cooked authentic recipes, but Osteria Grappolo exceeded my expectations. The pasta was al dente, and the sauce was flavorful. I especially loved the clams in the seafood linguine; they were fresh and perfectly seasoned. The only downside was that the service could be a bit slow during busy times, but it was worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for a special occasion and was excited about trying this Italian restaurant. The ambiance was lovely but the food didn't impress me as much. I had the lasagna, and it tasted more like a frozen meal than something freshly made. The portion was generous, but the flavors were lacking. The service was excellent, however, as the staff made sure we had everything we needed. I might give it another shot, but I'm not optimistic. " (*Curated Review*)

" Osteria Grappolo is a hidden gem! The food is a true taste of Italy, particularly the bolognese which is one of the best I've had in the U.S. They use quality ingredients that you can taste in every bite. We had lunch on the patio, and the vibe was perfect. Service was quick as well. I felt the prices were reasonable for the quality and portions served, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone visiting Solvang! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try this restaurant based on all the great reviews. The ambiance was nice, but I found the food lacking. I had the chicken parmesan, and it was somewhat bland. My partner enjoyed his penne with vodka sauce but mentioned that the portion could have been larger. Service staff were friendly but seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. While I might visit again to give it another chance, I think it needs improvement in the kitchen. " (*Curated Review*)
