   It was a perfect evening to eat outside. Tables are well spaced apart. The service is attentive and the food is excellent. There is literally nothing to complain about.

   Food is delicious. The Ahi appetizer while pricey is a must if you like ahi. The Pinsas are amazing - light and fluffy and crisp.Greg ambiance - inside ding was nice and quiet. Service was excellent.

   This is my favorite restaurant in Solvang. The food is always on point and the service is top notch. Our waiter Juan made everything sound so delicious when he was explaining the food. Juan made me feel like a VIP. The overall experience was an A+ thanks to him.

   The food was amazing. We had a pizza which was delicious. We also had the basil pasta, Caesar salad and dessert. Everything was great and we decided it was the best food of our trip.

    Nella never disappoints. As a local it has become a staple in my dining out repertoire! Service is always knowledgeable and friendly. Eat here when you want to indulge in a multi-course meal and if you drink definitely have a cocktail before moving on to wine or beer.

    Be warned that if you receive the wrong entree here, you will be charged for it whether you know it or not. We came here last year and really enjoyed the food and ambience. Last night we came again for my birthday. Busy, noisy Saturday night. Our party of 6 all ordered and my 75 year old husband specifically wanted what he had last visit. When the food arrived it was the wrong item. Waiter insisted he had ordered what was brought without any two-sided discussion but brought back the wanted item finally. He also boxed up the wrong entree and put it in the middle of our table while we were eating and said the "chef wanted you to have this". I thought, well it's strange that it's sitting in the middle of our table while we eat but that was nice. Later when we got the bill the item was still on there. Figured it was a mistake but the waiter said matter of factly "chef won't take it back". Now, our bill was close to 400 dollars you'd expect a little better service and problem-solving at a place like this. This sort of pompous and non-transparent attitude from chef and waiter/arbiter ruined any good taste we may have had in our mouth. Unfortunately we won't be back, nor can we recommend.

    Incredible food. The pizza is some of the best we have ever had including when in Italy. Outstanding service. Great top shelf liquor selection. Of course the wine selection is magnificent. If you are near Los O this is a must dining experience.

    Their "pizza" was awesome. and worth the visit. Service excellent too. But when the main course is bad, it all goes down the drain. We had duck and lamb chops. Both were really, really bad.

    Wait staff very knowledgeable on the menu and had helpful suggestions to aid in decision making. Support staff very pleasant and helpful as well. Host was a little rigid in enforcing the noon start, however! We arrived 5 min. early and were told rather bluntly "We're not open yet!" with no offer to seat us while waiting.

    We were looking forward to an enjoyable luncheon celebrating a baby shower for one of our employees at Nella's yesterday. The patio setting was beautiful and our lunch was delicious. Our server was very attentive and gracious. What was most disappointing was the large group of guests who were next to our table (party of 10-12). They were so loud we could not hear our own conversations throughout most of our meal. At one point I asked if we could move to another table - but there was none available. At the end of our meal as we were waiting for our server to ask if we wanted to order dessert, the group next to us became even louder. We all turned to look over at them - hoping they would observe how they were disturbing other guests. They laughed at us - and then proceeded to become louder and more obnoxious. We stood up and left our table at that point and went to another area on the patio to order dessert before we left. I let the host know of our disappointment earlier when we asked to be moved, and again when we finally were able to move to another table for dessert. He showed little concern as if there was nothing he could do about it - although he did apologize. Looking back at the situation, I should have asked him to speak with the large group at the table next to us and let them know that their noise level was disturbing other guests. That is the responsibility of management - to monitor the experience of all guests and to take control if a negative situation is creating a problem. After driving up from Santa Barbara and spending close to $400.00 for a luncheon that was supposed to be a special occasion for our guests, we left rather disappointed. I hope this feedback is helpful to the owners of Nella so that they can better advise their staff to be more aware of how to manage unruly guests who are disturbing others.
