    Food and service were phenomenal but because we were a party of 7 we had to sit outside which was bad because the planes that kept passing were very loud and hard for conversations.

    We ordered the bolognese rigatoni, spinach stuffed ravioli, rock fish, bread and ricotta stuffed squash blossoms. It was all delicious! It was a Monday night so the restaurant wasn’t full and therefore quiet. It worked perfectly for us. The service was spot on too. If you love authentic Italian, I’d definitely pick this spot.

    Elevated dishes with sophisticated flavors, that are very fresh, distinctive, and delicious. Thank you for incorporating vegetarian and vegan dishes with such lovely flavors and a beautiful presentation, made by a caring staff who look like they are truly enjoying what they are doing. We certainly enjoyed the evening and the entire meal, and will be sure to return.

    Solare was a great restaurant! We loved the appetizers even more than our entrees. And the desserts were also really really good. The ambiance was also nice. I would definitely go back.
