My husband and I were meeting friends for lunch and wanted a restaurant that was convenient for us all. Solo had nearby free parking and was on a quiet street. Although we chose it because of its location, we all agreed it was a hidden gem! The atmosphere and food were fantastic, and the service was polite and attentive. We will go back again soon!

Great service; our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and made suggestions that turned out excellent. Food arrived timely, hot, and delicious. Large parties contributed to the very high noise level but our overall experience was awesome. Highly recommend Solo and we will definitely be back.

Everything was very good with the exception of the veal with the bone parmigiana. It was overcooked with burnt edges and difficult to cut.
