    We picked this restaurant due to the websites description of it being a “chic and cozy“ Italian restaurant with excellent eggplant Parmesan. We were seated outside as we had asked, but did not know that there would be planes flying overhead every few minutes that impeded our ability to talk with each other. The eggplant Parmesan, which is what we had gone there for Best. With that said, my husband had chicken marsala, which was super delicious. I also like the choices of gelato and sorbet to top off the meal, in addition to the usual larger desserts.

    We enjoyed an intimate 5 course dinner in the wine room. Every course was appropriately sized, extremely delicious, and beautifully presented! For the quality of the food, it was an excellent value.

    Spouse's risotto was great and my fish dish was cooked to perfection. Only surprise was my expresso martini was served in a wine glass. Really, this restaurant did not have martini glasses? Truly, a small issue, but it took away from the experience.

    The service was very good but the portion size of the meal was way too small for the price of the meal (ordered from the SDRW menu). The food was good but not excellent. Probably will not return, as there are other Italian options (Little Italy) for dinner that I feel are less expensive with bigger portions plus, have a nice ambiance too!

    We went to Solare for dinner during restaurant week. Three of us ordered from the restaurant week menu and one ordered from the regular menu. Our overall experience was fantastic. The food was delicious and the service was great. The owner of the restaurant even came to our table to say hi and to ensure we were having a wonderful experience. We love dining at Solare.

    Great food, lovely restaurant, but be sure to eat inside if at all possible as it’s beautiful in there and the planes make it very difficult to hear conversation when seated outside.

    Food here is always great. Service was a bit slow, esp. since we had children with us. Lots of good choices for the vegetarian in our group.
