    Ca Del Sole is an excellent place spend an evening. The food is excellent ant the ambiance is great. One really gets a feeling of eating out at a classy restaurant, that is enjoyed by couples and families alike. The only downside is the prices. They are on the expensive side, but I guess that has to be expected to some degree. we have been their multiple times and would definitely go their again, on special occasions. OE

    Had a great office lunch here. The waiter Nico was fantastic. I had actually been here two days before, but decided to come back! The butter leaf lettuce, salad, mozzarella, pizza, and ricotta, honey starters were amazing. We all went with pasta so eggplant Parmesan and Bolognese are delicious. Love the ambience and both indoor and outdoor seating are beautiful Thank you.

    Really awesome experience. We did the bread and Caesar salad as apps which were amazing. Our server did a really nice job pairing wines for us. Brown butter ravioli was decadent and excellent. Loved the butternut squash tortellini, sweet winter pasta. Pro Tip: save some bread to dip in the pasta sauce. Did the Bunet for desert, I didn't love it but my partner did. It was a little too overwhelmingly almondy for me. I would try something different next time. But overall, one of the best meals I've ever had. Every bite was a delight and I will definitely be coming back. Service was excellent. Great choice for a date night.
